Instead of being good and sticking to my running schedule, a 40 minute run every other day, I had to skip running on a treadmill tonight. It wasn't exactly for lack of motivation but the two beers after work did squash the little motivation voice in my head. Still, more pressing things had to get done.

Staci and I spent a good hour and a half running around Sterling looking for a soccer ball mask to wear to a Halloween party this Saturday. We went to six different stores and were lucky to grab the last two at Walmart. We had to psuedo-dumpster dive through boxes and shopping carts filled with cheap masks and costumes.

We're still debating wether we'll take them to the DC United playoff game before the party. I think we can put them on at the start of the game and if/when DC scores. Unfortunately, the game won't be televised locally so the chance of a fleeting minute of camera time is miniscule.

We'll get pictures of us in our masks and I already have an idea for a picture or two to use permanently on this site.

I've been kind of annoyed that most everyone else had a spiffy log title and I was just sitting here using my domain name like a sucker. The Internet Anagram Server, pointed out that my first and last names are an anagram for "record as I am" which I think is a more interesting title. Some other interesting anagrams it found are "I am RSA coder", which I am not, "Airs Coed Arm", "IRA arms code", "I'm rare as cod", "Rear am disco", "Aero ram disc", "Radio scar me", "Sacred Mario", "Are amid orcs", "Are orc's maid" and one last one "Maria Scored"

Looks like the Man-In-Charge sent Mel Gibson a message about his latest movie project by striking the actor playing Jesus with lightning. It's also not the first time that this has happened. I'd hate to be on that shoot. "Oh crap, looks like all our water is running blood red."

An assistant director on the film, Jan Michelini, was also hit -- for the second time in a few months.
