Wasted Continuum

The day is near. April 15th. No, I’m not talking about tax day. Who cares about that? What I’m referring to is the day that Juno comes out on DVD. Yes, Juno, easily my favorite movie from last year. I, and I’m sure I’m not alone on this one, am crazy about Ellen Page. Before Juno, I mostly knew her work on Hard Candy and a small part on X-Men. Hard Candy was such a great heavy, dramatic movie. I thought Page was just intense in it. When I watched Juno, I was blown away at not only how amazing she is at comedy but that she has musical talent. If you are one of the seven people in this world that has not seen Juno yet you can get a small taste of it at Amazon. They have an exclusive deleted scene on there of Ellen singing and playing the guitar in some cafe. It doesn’t spoil the movie in any way. It’s a great clip. I will run out and buy it on Tuesday.

This may have been one of my weirder combination purchases in recent memory. I stopped by Target before coming home tonight to pickup Ratatouille on DVD. After that, I roamed around the music section to see what was out. That’s when I saw the new Jay Z album, American Gangster, was on sale. I had to get it. I’ve listened to the first seven tracks so far and I’ve got to say I’m liking it better than Kingdom Come right now. That’s now my final opinion or anything, but those tracks I heard so far sounds more like the Black Album, my favorite Jay Z album by far. I especially like Roc Boys (And The Winner Is)…. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of it.

Season six of my favorite show, Scrubs, was just release on DVD yesterday. I’m already four episodes in. I definitely need to get to episode six, aka My Musical, tonight. It’s one of the best episodes of the season. I hope this doesn’t get in the way of my novel. Who am I kidding? I’ll be done watching the whole season in a few days.

I ran 7 miles yesterday. Today, I ran 5.53 miles at a much better pace. It felt really good to run longer distances. My left leg held up without a problem. It was a little stiff yesterday at the end of the run, but I stretched out thoroughly. I will definitely rock the Turkey Day 5K. After my run, I had a nice bowl of bun bo hue with a “fresh” young coconut to drink. If that wasn’t enough, I went home and did free weights while watching the 2004 Crossroads Festival on DVD.
