Food for thought

I'm sure everybody knows by now about the BP eco-disaster in the gulf of Mexico. I figured I'd share this little parody clip courtesy of the Upright Citizens Brigade to illustrate how poorly this catastrophe was handled by BP and how ridiculous its actions are in containing the oil spill in the eyes of the public.

"BP Spills Coffee" - Upright Citizens Brigade

On a side note, the guy who cut his hair and threw it at the spill is John Frusciante, a former member of Possible Side Effects, a college long form improv based in Montclair, NJ and was one of my teachers when I took long form improv lessons with them back in the day. And now, he's on TV. =)

So to sum up: BP = F***ed. Very F***ed.

P.S. Run summary for the day...
Date: 06/10/10
Distance: 3.30 miles
Time: 35:47 (30:31 @ mile 3)

Calories: 371
Weight: ? lbs (did I forget to mention that I don't own a scale?)
Short-term Goal: Advance to 4 miles running.

P.P.S.
Did some random running with my nephew last week too. Not timed, but about 4ish miles. Kept up with him considering he's 14 years old and weigh 20 lbs lighter than me.

Song of the day: "How Come" - Ray LaMontagne

Oh Ray, Ms. J put all the cd's of his I own on my Ipod last night - I have this feeling I might end up singing on the T now.

I didn't even notice the Run Update portion - good for you - and I don't own a scale either, I know that they say statistically those who weight themselves daily do better, I guess I'm cheap, I just let my clothes do the talking.

PS. Keep at it!
