'i'm not here for your entertainment'

todd and i just got back from the realtor's, putting an offer down on the house we've been looking at in verona. we have managed to convince ourselves that the counteroffer will be higher than we want to pay, and that we should walk away. he's the poker player, not me. we will see what happens.

i want to start running. i have always wanted to be A Runner. seeing michelle and jane at the monument ave 5K in march solidified my desires. i am just waiting for the moment in which there is nothing else in the world i want to do more than lace up my sneakers and fly out the door. i think that day is coming.

last night we went to see year of the dog. high recommendations. one of the best movies ever to embrace the awkward pause and exclaim its glory (not literally). life is awkward pauses and so few films recognize this. no wonder our expectations, day to day, are so high. we base them on scripted reality. i mean, really. in real life could someone really use the phrase "make love" with a straight face? no one i'd want to make love to could, for sure. that might even be a prerequisite.
