e went to tudor place early. i decided to watch a few sketches from the beyond the fringe dvd. pretty good. some very dated stuff but some pretty funny material. you can certainly see the influence on the pythons and fry and laurie.
went to planet fitness at about 10:30. tried a different route that i thought would be shorter. it came out about the same. seems like a lot of serious weight lifters come out on the weekend. not very busy. treadmill, bicycle, about 8 nautilus style machines. trying to build gradually.
definitely feel better on the days when i work out.
lunch
bacon cheese burger
spicy fries
coke
at checkers in warrenton. tasty.
i watched forest gump and part of barbershop 2 when i got home. barbershop is better than b2 but b2 is pretty enjoyable. couldn't really get into beauty shop.
dinner
pizza (4 sl)
coke
had my pizza fix for the month. wish i could find a good pizza place that delivers.
we watched an episode of wodehouse playhouse from dvd. wodehouse is usually tons of fun but when he crashes and burns, he really crashes and burns. really, really, really appalling little episode. the rise of minna nordstrom. so bad it is unspeakable. we watched part of a league of their own after the wodehouse disaster just to get the taste out of our mouths.
dessert
strawberry short cake
watched the first group of songs from the pretenders concert on pbs. they sounded great. a real knack for great guitar riffs. watching chrissie on stage i had the fleeting impression that she is the female tom petty. just one of those ideas that forms somewhere down deep, bubbles up, and then confuses the hell out of you. sort of an immediate "i can see that" followed by a "huh?"
can't believe tomorrow is the first of august.

woke up at about 4:15. v hot in the room. decided to go down and watch up again since i slept though part of it last night.
watched most of up this time. not as good as toy story or the incredibles but enjoyable. little kid in the movie reminded me of the fat kid on the roof in roxanne.
breakfast
bagel w/ cream cheese
iced tea
e running late this am. got to the light at vint hill and 28 just as it changed. if we'd been a minute later we would have missed it. weather v nice this am.
2nd breakfast
sausage mcmuffin
iced tea
at mcdonalds
opened up the front of the house when i got home. sun's on the back of the house. have to switch around in the afternoon.
lunch
pastrami, bologna, & cheese sandwich
iced tea
fig newtons (4)
I watched conair during lunch. i had never seen the movie from the beginning before. it made a little more sense when you see the whole thing. some very silly stuff in that movie.
picked up e at the vre at 6:20. stopped at caribou on the way home
snack
milk chocolate mocha
dinner
turkey reuben
pickle spears (2)
potato salad
iced tea
beefsteak rye is sliced a little too thin to make a reuben.
ifc was showing the full monty. we have it on dvd but ended up watching the end on cable. serendipity i guess.
after the full monty, we watched the shorts and features on the up dvd. i laughed like crazy at the dog short on the dvd. like a really funny road runner / coyote cartoon.
the james taylor and carol king concert was on pbs after that. really nice concert. the performance of fire and rain is a tour de force. really moving, really beautiful.

wokr up at about 3:00 am. very stuffy in the room. opened the window to get some cooler air from outside. much more comfortable.
woke up at 6:00. karma came in petitioning for food. went down and fed cats.
installed new toaster and made toast.
breakfast
rye toast w/ butter (2)
banana
oj
iced tea
went to the gym at around 10:15. intended to go earlier but got bogged down in emails.
watched the germans demonlishing the koreans in the fifa u20 women's world cup. it was 5-1 when i stopped watching. koreans were still game though. impressed that they kept up a very high level of effort even though they were so far behind. one of the german women had a beautiful goal. she later had a pk as well. couldn't read her name though. good player.
went home and checked mail. lots of chores in the afternoon.
bank first. just started to drizzle as i turned down the road to get to the bank. as i parked it turned into a deluge. had to make deposit before 2 so i ran through the poring rain. coming out of the bank it slowed to a drizzle again. amazing.
lunch
meatball sub
chips
iced tea
at wegmans
wegmans then hair cut, then harris teeter.
the lady who cut my hair did a really good job. very chatty and nice. did not having anything good to say about the new restaurant in the mall. expensive bad food with bad service. winning combo.
came back home and got e to go to the library. checked out drood on dvd and a somerset maugham book.
dinner
waffles, eggs and bacon
coffee
iced tea
pretty good
we finally watched up this evening. i slept through part but i liked what i saw. the talking dogs really cracked me up.
before we started watching up, i watched the first 20 minutes of the commitments. i'll have to add that to netflix. haven't seen it in ages. the shots of dublin are just remarkable. the people. the apparent poverty. the old fashioned mixed with the modern. cool.

drove e to the vre. made the train in plenty of time this time. very low on gas.
snack
milk chocolate mocha
from caribou coffee. excellent.
9:00 am concall. very hard to hear.
foot still sore.
lunch
pastrami, bologna, and cheese on sub roll
mac salad
pickle
chips
iced tea
really good sandwich. reading the paper and watching that 70's show. channel lost the feed. the show froze. switched around until i found the big gay sketch show. if you haven't seen it, DON'T! really obvious jokes that straight people would be condemned. like a really bad episode of mad tv. ok. even worse than a really bad episode of mad tv. started to watch love, valor, compassion! (or whatever) but the fruity flaminess was too much. went back to work.
had to head back to the train early so i could get some gas. v hot in the arternoon. oddly, though, my foot stopped hurting just after I got out of the shower. throbbing one minute. quite comfortable the next. i think an invisible person must have treated it with a tricorder. nice relief.
steaming as i waited at the train station. had to get pet food after that.
dinner
asian chicken salad
french fries
iced tea
at red robin. fries were excellent. salad could have used more asian-ness and more chicken but was fresh and pretty tasty.
we watched the paul mccartney gershwin prize special on pbs. good concert. i think dave grohl may have brought down the house with band on the run. nice to see stevie and paul perform together. a little too much hey jude / let it be. really liked the herbie hancock number as well.

watched a little of clifford the big red dog again. clifford's friends are a little too needy. t-bone ran into a bedroom in this episode. really looked the layout of the room. bed was on an higher level than the rest of the room with a ramp leading up. something appeals to me about that. i remember sleeping in the little beds on the train from berlin to hamburg. probably a womb thing. have to talk to old man freud about it.
had to go to walmart to get a prescription refilled.
lunch
double cheese burger
fries
iced tea
at wendy's. i ordered a single but they gave me a double. much prefer the single. double is way too much.
