  5. This is how I feel after the 10 miles I ran this morning. My pace was faster than my 5k in March, and the final time was faster than the 8 miles I ran last Sunday. No joke. Moving up from SloMoFo to just slow :)  Related: i cannot wait to see my chiropractor tomorrow and get these knees fixed!

  8. The fact that people are willing to read fantasy novels in practice emphasises the parallel fact that, most of the time, they aren’t willing to read them in principle. They’re only willing to read the freak mega-sellers: fantasy itself is off limits to large sections of the general reading public.

    — John Lanchester reviewing Game of Thrones. All of it is good stuff for the sci-fi/fantasy fan/evangelist (fangelist?). I spend a lot of time explaining to friends the merits of good sci-fi and fantasy novels, with little to no reward. Each mega-hit just starts a new franchise without growing fans for the genre as a whole. 

  9. A coworker just introduced me to Emeli Sande. Next to Me is totally going on my running playlist. 

    I love that moment when I discover a new artist. Just the wonder and beauty of yet another amazing voice, powerful lyrics, and compelling beats. I love this moment of wonder and excitement.

  13. My mom is a vet

    Me:I finished my antibiotics, but they super screwed with my GI tract. Been eating yogurt like its my job, any other suggestions?

    Mom: Acidophilus milk? Eat a friends poop. Or probiotics at health food store?

    Me: Thank you for two helpful hints and one creepy kink.

    Mom: Or a friends poop enema?

  14. I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it’s a man and woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man. I think the ship has sailed and I think the church needs — I think this is the world we are living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are.
