this morning

since we must deal with the pedestrian, i will give myself a cyber pat on the back for being good and starting up with the jogging again. in bermuda there was always one excuse or the other (rain, winds, gale-force winds, lazy, exhausted, homework, in-middle-of-good-book, etc.) and in beaufort i was a train wreck because of thinking of grad school. and then of course there was one month of being on holiday and 2 weeks of europe (during which, by the way, i actually lost ten pounds from walking six hours or more every day. ten pounds! does it show?) thus, with the exercise this morning and over the weekend, self-congratulation is most certainly in order.

[congratulates self]

on the bus ride home, i found myself in front of one of those television things (what are they called? i keep wanting to call them PortaTellies.) some tcs 8 drama was on - and i found to my surprise that camerawork has quite significantly improved since the lastime i tuned in to local television. it seems that the cameramen have learned the fine art of panning! and zooming in! and using filters that don't let in the entire spectrum of visible light! perhaps there is hope yet (and i'm not even being sarcastic).
