An exercise for your brain

OK, today’s “Challenge of the Day” is to think of one self-defining scenario you’ve walked through in the past week.

The one I threw away was more on the fuzzy side--not so much worm-eaten--but you get the idea. Thanks to whologwhy on Flickr.

For example: I accepted a friend’s offering of some cherries on Sunday (I love free stuff); brought them to work on Monday (I avoid eating out, but need snacks); disposed of the single  molded cherry on Tuesday (I try to eat healthfully); saved the rest to eat until Wednesday (I always leave the best for last) and then, while writing an article (I’m a multi-tasker), happily munched on the fruit assuming that even the ones that tasted a bit off probably won’t make me sick (I’m an optimistic risk-taker).

OK, your turn.

Hash Run around Boulder: See you there!

If you don’t have plans for next Tuesday, here you go.

Laura, Andrea, Brittney: You guys rock.

And in the words of Mike Pacini: “Who’s the chap with the accent?”

NPR vs. Outkast

I currently have the I-Pod rocking from its dock in the bathroom while NPR blares from my bedroom.

Hearing Outkast telling me to “Shake it like a Polaroid picture,” while Ryan Warner chastises me for not yet donating to Colorado Public Radio’s summer fundraiser is an interesting cultural contradiction.

Recycled free stuff

So Mike is in the process of moving. Not far, just to a different apartment and into his own room.

We were chatting this morning, and he mentioned that he plans to get rid of some stuff–just leave it on the side of the road for the many Boulder scavengers to sift through and snag.

His one reservation is that I’ll come over and start bragging about the new free stuff I got.

“Court! I’m trying to get rid of that!”

Hmmm … I suppose it’s a valid concern.

The Green Silence comes to Boulder

Just bought some sick new running shoes. They’re a minimalist design by Brooks called “the Green Silence.”

Which is actually really convenient because I’ve been racking my brains for weeks now trying to think up a ninja name.

The Green Silence … bingo.

Pretty sweet, right? Photo from http://www.zappos.com/multiview/7718634/6166.

Cream vs. Skim

I’m not nearly as picky about eating healthy as I used to be.

But even I draw the line when the barista mixes up half and half cream with skim milk.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be such a big deal if my large coffee wasn’t made up of roughly 50 percent milk, but since it is, I had to say something.

I’ve never sucked directly from an udder, but I’m guessing that’s pretty much what my beverage would have tasted like.
