Whoever writes for cnn.com seems to be having a very entertaining time writing about Galileo's demise (Galileo the 14 year old robotic probe that just crashed into Jupiter, not Galileo the scientist). The headlines that tickled me most: "Robot ship to meet firey death by Jove" and "A smashing end for Jupiter explorer".

I guess I'm easily amused today, because Talk Like a Pirate Day is cracking me up. For more details, read this Dave Barry column. To help celebrate, I got a pirate name: Captain Bess Flint. Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

I had an extremely relaxing weekend. I basically did nothing but veg out on Saturday. Saturday night, Sarah, Jen and I planned a girls' night. Which didn't actually turn into a girls' night unless you count that we watched this very weird chick flick ("Only You").

Sunday I dragged myself out of bed to run a 5K (3.1 miles). I was pretty convinced I wouldn't make the whole run because even when I did run regularly, I had hard time making that whole distance. Stupidly, I ran the whole distance anyway (ok, I paused for about 15 seconds to drink water at the two mile mark). Now my legs feel like jelly.

But I was rewarded, because after the 5K, we went to P.F.Chang's for lunch and the Cheesecake Factory for desert, thus offsetting any actualy physical gains from the run. Yum!

That's the excitement. I have a massive amount of homework to do before Wendesday. And Exceed shut down sometime around 2 a.m. on Saturday morning effectively ending my SORT sims. So, now I'm off to kick them off again.
