Farscape is a freakin’ awesome show.  I love how it’s a sci-fi show but it just does not depend on special effects.  Being fairly old, it does not have great effects…but decent writing and decent acting too.  The main character, John Crichton, is very believably funny.  It’s really cool when you can have a series that is both funny and at times lighthearted while advancing a semi-serious plotline.  Like with Sliders, sometimes it was funny…but just totally unbelievable.  You’ve got these people sliding between dimensions and you just think to yourself, "Ok, I’ve got a good attitude towards life…but I wouldn’t take being stuck in an alternate dimension *that* lightly."

Oh, Jesus Christ.  They just showed a needle going right into Crichton’s eye.  Holy crap.  In most movies when they do this kind of thing they cut away….no….this time they put it right in the eye.  Jesus Christ.

So I haven’t written much of substance in forever.  I blame that on the monotony of my life.

Physically and emotionally…god, I am not progressing as I need to be.  There are still way too many nights when I am sad.  The past few days there have been times when I was on the verge of tears.  Anyone who knows what I’ve been about the past several months will know why.  There just doesn’t seem to be any solution….

And physically…I’m a fuckin’ mess!!!  First, I don’t think my pullups are up to spec and secondly, I clocked my timed 3 mile run in at freakin’ 31:30.  I love to make excuses and say that I worked out too hard the day before I timed it and didn’t eat correctly.  Gayyyyyy….I know the going is slow, it’s just disappointing.  I guess dealing with disappointment and perseverance through failure is all part of the test.   Hahahahaha, I tried running another timed 3 mile before the last one.   It was pretty freakin’ funny.  I ended up running a mile before pooping out.  So it was the fastest mile I’ve ever run…in my life…which kind of pumps me up a little.  I just wish I could keep up an 8:15 pace.  Man….I would be so pumped if I could just hold up that pace for 3 miles.  Mmmmmm, I am getting pumped for tomorrow now.  Hahaha, it is just like last time.  Imagining myself going out and gliding through it all….ugh.  Gotta pace my fat ass.

Morally, though, I do think I am right on track.
