So what's new today?

Thanks everybody for your comments! Ha ha ha. Yeah, I am a brat. If you have a problem with it you can get your own blog.

Moving right along:

Went for a run today. Last week I started finishing my route in 15ish minutes (round-trip), so I added a little distance today. Also did some strength work, which was good. I think I'm already seeing effects of the ab work in how my pants fit. Actual weight loss is difficult to determine, though.

Looked like we were gonna have us some serious weather yesterday, but it just rained a little bit. I thought a good shower might be nice to rinse some plant gunk and bugs off my car since I haven't had it washed yet. Not to mention that heavy rain would have justified all kinds of snacks and with-book-curling.

Speaking of which, had brunch with JEF who presented me with a copy of Alison Bechdel's new book, which I read all the way through yesterday. Hopefully will remember to take it with me to the reading tomorrow, though I'm not sure what the point of an autograph would be.

Last time I found myself at Whole Foods, they had Tofurky brand lunch"meat" slices on sale, so I picked some up since I needed sandwich fixin's anyway. The Italian Deli style is pretty much just like their sun-dried tomato & basil "sausage," so it wasn't too intimidating, and today with some trepidation I made a sandwich with the "Cranberry and Stuffing" flavored slices. It was actually pretty good! I think I definitely prefer it to the "original/smoked" flavor I tried last year. The cranberry flavor isn't very strong, but I think it would be nice in a sandwich with cranberry sauce or cranberry mustard. Hmm...

Oh, on a related note, I found a neat website listing/reviewing vegetarian/vegan restaurants in the Bay Area: TechnoTofu.

Ok, well I'm hoping to use the rest of my lunch break to pay some bills. Life is so exciting!
