And People Wonder Why I Lack Confidence

Like I Need More People Telling Me I Am Worthless?
Here is the result when I asked how much my blog was worth…

Making Room For Turkey
Normally I sign up for the annual Atlanta Half Marathon some time in August, when the weather is nice and warm. When Thanksgiving rolls around I usually curse the colder weather and wonder what I was thinking a few months prior. This year I tried something new. I signed up for the half marathon yesterday, when the weather was a bit chillier than it was two months ago. I fully expect to damn the cold come Thanksgiving, but at least the temperature differential won’t be as great.

I Still Have My Ikea Virginity
The other night I nearly ventured to the land of swedish meatballs and lingonberry desserts, aka Ikea. Unfortunately I decided that I will still not up to the task. And after finding out that they are having a furniture sale (15% off) this weekend, I am most definitely going to wait for a while.

This Is So Fantabulicious!!!
I read a hilarious article yesterday about how encyclopedias and dictionaries insert fake entries in their publications in an attempt to catch people copying their content. Brilliant! For all these years people have made fun of the word nerds and in return they have secretly been fighting back.

Just in case you didn’t know, “esquivalience” is not a real word and I will be challenging you if you attempt to play it in a game of Scrabble.

Back On The Trivia Bandwagon
I’ll be flaunting my massive noggin tonight at Smith’s Olde Bar for trivia. This won’t be with my usual cast of characters, Meet The Hashers. Instead I’ll be playing with another group of hashers. The real downside for me is that the game starts at 9pm; looks like another late night…

Get Ready Cubs Fans, You’re Up Next
Last year the Boston Red Sox. This year the Chicago White Sox. I think there is a definite pattern in place…

And now for some ideas stolen from LiveJournal…
Current Mood – fairly pleased
Current Music – Dave’s iPAQ podcast #38
Website Of The Day – I stumbled across this site yesterday. I especially love the collection of pictures from film found in old cameras.

If you ever want a quick glance of the sites I’ve picked for my Websites Of The Day, you can check them out on del.icio.us, my user name is InsideThePerimeter (go figure), and they are all tagged as “blogged.”

Yesterday’s Exercise (b)Log – running, approximately 5 miles

Cheers!
