Picnics and dvds

It was a bit warmer out yesterday so we had a picnic on our back porch which was fun, we played on the swings and soccer a lot too, then they stayed outside for quite a while.

I gave up reading the McIerney ad I am so into reading the novel Coma, almost done with that and need to return the library books tomorrow. I will take out the McIerney book again sometime, I ended up reading about a third of it. It deals a lot with 9-11 but it has some good moments, the same characters as Brightness Falls, the boomk publisher and his wife, which was intriguing.

Ran 3.25 on the treadmill in the morning yesterday so ended up doing 21.25 miles for last week.

Watched three dvds yesterday: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Young Sherlock Holmes AND the first episode from season one of Six Feet Under. I had been telling B. lately that I need to finally open my season one set and watch it because that season was so excellent. And it was. I loved how Brenda kept calling Nate and then psycho analyzing him, and Claire flipping out in the grocery store and throwing a cantalope on the floor, and Keith and David rather than saying they are boyfriends they told everyone they play racquetball together. And I really really used to like the character of Nate until he turned into such an egoist and asshole in season five. In this first episode he was so cool, running all the time, bopping Brenda, trying to cheer up his little sister, and comforting his mother. ANd I loved when Nate goes for a run and then is drinking his water bottle and sees his Dad (who's dead) get on the bus and then his Dad waves to him and Nate just stands there and thinks.

Sometimes I think I love Six Feet Under more than Twin Peaks. It's close.

The twins are eating their cereal now and I am going to do the treadmill for a while.

Oh and I got the new Morrissey cd, it is ok but I only really really love 4 songs out of 12/13, so that surely isn't worth it, right?

It's Palm Sunday today so we need to figure out when we are all going to mass. I need to get my long run in today.
