Yesterday I went to the BK10K with my brother and sister in law. I am in no real shape to attempt to run a 10K, so we walked it. There were so many people there! About a month ago, I had to go to this staff development day for work. At one of the intersections there were these people giving away free shirts. I was given one and laughed. It's one of those shirts that say I heart _______. Well, the blank was filled in by a picture of a Whopper. It was a BK promo shirt. This was the shirt I wore to the race and honestly, I didn't see anyone else there with this shirt. I'm sooooo unique! The funny thing is that I don't eat red meat. I gave it up about 4 years ago :)
Anyway, I'm always observing people and there were definitely some characters there. Let me start at the beginning. We arrived at a good early time, found our spot and I took a seat on the curb. When I look up there's this woman's ass in front of me. She's talking to her friend and moving side to side as if to warm up. Fine...however, this woman was wearing the tightest exercise pants she could find. Whatever, wear what you want but atleast wear the appropriate underwear for the activity. She clearly didn't want underwear lines, so I'm guessing she had a g-strig on if that. This all happened in a matter of seconds. All I knew is that I had some heavier woman's giggly ass in front of me and I stood up as fast as I could. I don't care what kind of fashion statement you want to make with your workout clothes. But if you're going to be running, the buttocks needs support just like the girls on top. Wear full coverage underwear :)
During the race, when people were already returning we saw a few blog worthy individuals. First we saw a man looked like he stepped off a Tom Hanks movie...Cast Away or Forest Gump. The man had long-wild hair with a full on beard to compliment it. It was all bouncy (he must have been dying of heat). If that wasn't enough, the dude was running in flip flops! FLIP FLOPS!!! Wow.
The second character I saw was more subdued, but still went to some lengths to stand out in the sea of people. He wore his statement on his chest...literally. This man was clearly a quite hairy individual. Definitely someone who could rival any other in a sweater vest competition. So, he took this chest hair and molded it into a symbol. The dude shaved, waxed, naired...whatever...his hair into the shape of a heart. From the top of his pecks down to his belly button he created a hair heart. Uhm....ok then!
It was definitely an interesting afternoon.

Strike 1
2 days ago I got a new PC. It'd been a while since I actually used a PC for more than 10min at a time...I mainly use my macbook these days.
So I got the new PC with Vista of course because that's the only thing that is available now. Just like any other PC, the operating system takes you through an initial set up of the computer. It made me set up an account and what not, but 5 min later when it restarted to the Log In screen, it said my password was incorrect. WHAT?!?! After many tries with the caps lock on, without the caps lock, with capital letters and all small letters, nothing worked.
Strike 1 for damn PC's! How could it be that a new, new, new computer could lock me out right after having setting it up? Whatever. My next move was to look up the info on the net. I came across some people who had similar problems. My options were: make a reset password disc. This sounded simple enough, but the only way to make this thing was through Windows. Since I never even made it into Windows, this was out of the question. Another option was using a bootable password recovery disc. I found a supposedly good one called Ophcrack. It was simple enough to use and it found the account, but not the password.
So that didn't work. On to the next program! The 2nd one I tried was Offine NT Password & Registry Editor. Since I couldn't GET my supposedly forgotten password, I hoped this program would ERASE it! And it did! It erased it and I was back in business. Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!
Still, this isn't the best introduction to Vista. I was very annoyed and angry with thoughts of taking a bat to the PC. That was a feeling I hadn't had in a while.
Strike 1!!!!!
