the runner in me

work is hosting a nike+ cardio challenge and i'm happy to report that i reached my milestone with 6 days to spare! the challenge is from 5/23 to 7/4 and i set my goal at 75 miles. this is impressive only because i absolutely hate running. here's a picture of my nike+ avatar i created. does it really look like i'm half korean, half indian?

fix-a-windshield

last week i witnessed a rock hit molly's windshield, which left her a nasty chip. i've been up to my ears in little car repairs these days so this angered me quite a bit. the chip would eventually spread into a big crack and the thought of having my windshield replaced made me want to punch someone. but god must have heard my prayers because the next day at lunch this exact topic randomly came up with a co-worker and he told me about fix-a-windshield! i tried to take a pic of the end result but seriously couldn't find where it used to be. i'm totally amazed!

no pants for you

i don't know why i keep insisting on going to this one particular alteration place to get my pants hemmed. i haven't noticed anything stellar about their work or service but i'm the type of girl that, if something isn't super bad, i stick around until there's a concrete reason not to. plus, the owners are korean, which was my initial draw to the place. gotta support your peeps, right?

a couple saturdays ago i dropped off some new jeans to be hemmed and told her i would be back the following saturday. the whole week i thought about my new jeans, excited as shit to get them back and wear them. i was so excited that when saturday had finally come, even though i was totally hung over (burps still tasting like the tequila i was drinking the night before), i walked to the place to pick them up. i got there, handed her my pick up ticket and...she couldn't find them. how could she not find my jeans?! i mean, this is a place that specializes in a service where clothes are left there and then returned back to the owner after repair is done. at first i thought it was a ploy to have me come back later in the day because she had forgotten to hem them but it wasn't. the jeans were officially lost!

so here it is, the situation that has given me assurance that this place sucks. korean or not, i can't risk coming back. i always thought these kinds of incidences were just funny stories where i would laugh at other people's misfortune, never imagining that it would be me, sad and jean-less.

on the radio

it's always great to have your ipod on shuffle to re-discover old favs.

"this is how it works
you're young until you're not
you love until you don't
you try until you can't
you laugh until you cry
you cry until you laugh
and everyone must breathe
until their dying breath

no, this is how it works
you peer inside yourself
you take the things you like
and try to love the things you took
and then you take that love you made
and stick it into some
someone else's heart
pumping someone else's blood
and walking arm in arm
you hope it don't get harmed
but even if it does
you'll just do it all again"

- regina spektor, on the radio
