a spider bit my arm maybe, probably while i was sleeping

Muxtape is pretty much done. Which is sad.

I feel comforted by ESPN.

I need to eat more leafy green vegetables.

I bought some new trail shoes to run in. I could step on a lethargic squirrel and not even be fazed by it. At least on a physical level. Emotionally who knows.

I have repeatedly been listening to track 6 on 'Elephant Eyelash.'

A lot of music this year has been disappointing. From bands that I've really liked. Okkervil River. The Hold Steady. Of Montreal. Mogwai. Even Wolf Parade and Silver Jews were kind of a letdown.

Top 2 albums of the year though without a doubt are 'Alopecia' from Why? and 'Third' from Portishead.

I just downloaded the new High Places. Hopefully it's good. I should just stop listening to music and watch ESPN. I have no expectations with ESPN. I just want to see the same dozen clips and arguments over and over until it's time to eat cereal and go to bed.

USC lost. Georgia vs. Alabama tomorrow.

I am excited about having 1/2 a tank of gas.

I keep scratching my arm.

I eat a lot of peanut butter.

i tried running today as hard as i could up a mountain

I went two miles before I had to stop because I felt like I was going to throw up. It was hot but the air was cool and did not feel good in my lungs. I did not see any deer. Or Civil War ghosts. A dog licked me below my left knee. After I felt like I wasn't going to throw up I ran down the last part of the trail and sprinted until I felt like my lower legs might be in danger of shattering. I got in my car and drove to Dunkin Donuts and got a chocolate milk from the drive-thru. I performed a controlled and patient u-turn at an intersection and drove home.
