up by 4:45am; coffee/music/news/game ( Black Mesa!! / Best Half Life mod in the world! ) ... till 6:30am and then to work by 7am. Work till 11:50am and then to gym by 12:15pm for weight training. Gym till 1:15pm and back to work by 1:30pm. At work till 3:40pm and then to Memorial Park by 4:30pm for 2.5 mile run on the flat track (running on the contiguous flat made my ankles hurt like fuck; the trails are so much lower impact; easier on the feet/ankles/achilles but harder on the calves and thighs and butt). 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?

Political webcast, random inet stuff, vid games and icing my achilles tendons till crashing around midnight.
