was going to go biking this afternoon. really, i was. set it up to go on a 15-mile run with anible, up coddington road and back down 79. hauled my bike over and everything. but then, see, we got to this hill. not a big hill, really, just your plain old ordinary incline. cake, considering my usual diet. but cake, it seems, is too rich for my poor, pathetic, undersized quads. they managed a tentative nibble, and then threatened to spontaneously combust...it was too bad. would have been a good run. ah well. there's no time like a little while from now!

anible, at least, got in his exercise for the day. i went with he and me brothers to the pick-up soccer game that happens every monday/wednesday/friday. i love watching soccer, i tell you. i get such a kick out of it (no pun intended. seriously.), now that i'm old enough (read: not in second grade) to look at a game on a field and see the whole picture, rather a mass of discrete objects running around at random. probably couldn't do it if i were actually playing (one of the many reasons i don't play), but it's muchly fun from the sidelines. got some good pictures, as you can see, until the clouds and lightening and downpours (and lack of battery power) sent my camera back into its bag. (do you know, i use socks as camera bags, because i'm too cheap to put out the $10. i wonder if anyone else does that...?)

small bits of unrelated news: haloscan now offers trackback along with their commenting engine, so i've added it to my comment links. i've also started archiving posts to individual urls, thanks to some new blogger features. daniel and benjamin have launched a new site for ithacan halo-ers, somewhat reminiscent of the old a-c laser tag site. so if you're from ithaca and you play halo, go check it out.

that's all.
