Clumsy
I was just sitting around the office being a slacker, when "Clumsy" by Our Lady Peace cued up. It's often amazing how intrinsically music gets tied to my memories, often due to how often I'll leave songs on repeat. In Spring of 1998, I was working as a tech at a lab in the Blocker building of Texas A&M. We had an old Mac that was the only computer in the lab with and audio card. It wasn't much, but it was (barely) enough to play an mp3. It was a pain to load a mp3 on the system, so the only one that got loaded was OLP's "Clumsy". Listening to it now reminds me of melancholy and bittersweet times working in that lab.
Last night I jogged 54:30 for 18 laps (4 miles). Annoyingly, endorphines only kicked in after the 10th lap. Tonight, in a bit, I'm going to go do some interval running. It is nice, though, to get my distance up to what I used to run regularly.
