Park till 5pm. Stopped by Specs for an Arrogant Bastard ale for later and then home by 5:30pm. Out from house around 8pm for essential groceries just down the street and then home by 8:15pm for evening. Funny thing, some youngsta, Mexican gurls were working for the MetroPCS shop, just next to where I was shopping and as I passed by one of them handed me some literature/propaganda related to the latest cel phone deals and commented, "You have awesome eyes." I stopped and turned (cause I wasn't sure what she said) and replied, "What did you say?" ... and she said ... "Your eyes! You have really pretty eyes" .. and, incredulous, I said, "Wow. Thanks!. You just made my year. Nobody has ever told me that before!" ... (being quite serious) ... and she said, "Yeah! (lol) ... Okay .. .whatever!" ... anyway. It was very cute and very welcome... and it made me feel really good. I made a mental note, almost simultaneously, to give other humans random compliments (especially women but not exclusively) because I now know what it feels like...

Also, and in all seriousness ..

Because I've been the victim of a politically driven smear campaign regarding myself and my supposed and most nefarious proclivities regarding under age women (and they were almost certainly that or very close) .. I have to say: That whole "compliment thing" very well might have been investigation related as, the literature she handed me (the chick who supposedly liked my eyes) also had the store phone number on it and as well, a hand written note that said: "REP: Dani" ...

I know. I know. It's weird and trite and awful and worse to have to go around questioning random compliments (of all the fucking things) ... but ... trust me, vigilance is the order of the day when doing battle with Satan. Here's a scan of the cute little late teen Mexican girl's pamphlet (cliche' teenage handwriting and everything. Fucking LMAO!):

...

...

Anyway. It's true that she said that about my eyes and it's also true that I was taken aback by her comment. It's further true that I personally consider it a naturally occurring thing and that there's pretty much no way that the whole thing could have been orchestrated (my trajectory in to the parking lot, where I ended up parking, where, among all the paths I could choose, I ended up walking). But sadly, I have to be thorough and so there you have it. I am aware of the perverse skill and occasional acumen that my opponent wields and I do not take it lightly and so therefore, all of that weird shit discussed just above? It is necessary...

Otherwise... cute, chubby, late teen/early 20's Mexican girl? Thanks for saying my eyes are pretty ... I never noticed to tell you the truth; but real or manufactured, the effect is the same: I liked it. ;-)

Continuing...and for the rest of the night?

...

Metro Last Light ... kick ass visual design and over all production; game play is a bit scripted/directed (no "sand box" here) but I sort of dig that as I don't have much time to devote to gaming anyway and so a bit of script/direction moves things along nice in that regard. It's produced/made by a Russian game dev team and the general "russian" feel of the thing, from the voice acting to the set design and the weapons ... is just awesome:

Major Achilles tendonitis of late ... running too much with not enough breaking, I'd guess ... from what I've read, it's fairly common and never really goes away. Consistent icing and rest is supposed to be the most beneficial. The icing process, oddly, is really fucking painful ... *REALLY* fucking painful ... pulling teeth without anesthetic ... but only for about 10 minutes as the tissue returns to normal body temperature and after removing ice, then it feels *REALLY* good ... and so I continue.

;-)

Here's a glamour shot from last night showing my ghetto icing technique:

4 mile run in the woods today, just around noon time, after it had been briefly storming. Memorial park bike trails. It was ridiculously divine. The ground was soaked and slippery and treacherous, the light through the canopy was muted and steely and me (and the bikers) were covered in mud and water and other bits of forest detritus. I wore only a pair of board shorts and the shoes pictured above and despite the fact that I nearly slipped and rolled into a ravine? I think it was one of the best runs of my past six years.

I wish I could plug drug addicts in to my brain after such a run as I think they would drop the crack pipe and pick up a pair of running shoes if they could just stop and feel it for a second...

Such a return on effort ...

(sigh)

Oh yeah,  not that your interested or anything, I recently published a little "how to" guide on Head-fi.org regarding the best way to clean the contacts on Shure SE535 inner ear monitors. I've published quite a few things there (reviews, etc.) but this is just something short I did earlier this week.

But it's got pictures and I make sexual innuendo at certain points and so it's worth mentioning.
