I've been running my butt off lately. Over 100 km this month alone! I just competed in my third (3rd) half-marathon this MONTH. Yes, you read that correctly. After the Greifenseelauf last weekend, I had run 3, 21 km runs in less than 30 days. You can view my results here: http://www.datasport.com/myds/index.cfm?myds=Yes〈=DE&db=e&p=1.1&fid=2&fRefNr=917059&fName=Armstrong&fOrt=
I've been placing generally near the bottom of the pack, but around the middle of the bottom. There are many slimmer, prettier people with little 6-pack abs who I am leaving in the dust! And ten there are the 60-year-old women whizzing by me and slapping me on the ego. I can only hope that with 32 I will be as fit as they are at 60. And my boobs won't hang as much.
I have, however, shaved 15 minutes off my time from the first one I did to the last one. I think once I get the run down to under 2 hours, I'll be ready for the full marathon. Hamburg, I'm coming to get you in April!!
Dr. Faust is a blast. Thomas Hampson blew a gasket and gave me our quote of the day for yesterday (I'm still thinking of one for today): "Fuck the computer!" The computer responsible for opening the curtain couldn't seem to agree with Mr. Hampson as to when it should open. He did have a point: We have done opera for over 250 years without computers. Since when did we hand over all the responsibility to them? Do I have to worry about being replaced by robot singers? Their acting would probably be no stiffer than the average opera singers, and they would always hit the high c. They wouldn't complain then rehearsal goes 2 minutes over. She wouldn't gossip about the other robots behind their back, thus ruining the group dynamic. They wouldn't be bitter that they never had the career as a solo robots that they thought they should have had. They won't come to work drunk.. Hey, I think we should replace all opera singers with robots! If you agree , please share your opinion on the matter in my guest book.
Oh, the quote of the day for today...
Never trust a horse with an erection.

No robot can make an emotion like an human and i think that's where we are lucky ;)
