On a certain forum where I post random stuff, this thread came up and asked us registered users: Would you want super powers and what sort of powers did you want? I began to ponder, thinking back to the numerous comic books that I've read as a little lass, watching all those cartoons, and recently watching this show on telly called “Heroes” — anyway, this is what I came up with:

1) Psychic + Telepathic powers – love child of Jean Grey + Professor X = Me

2) Super strength, or maybe just a super stomach so I don't get cramps or diarrhea. Nvm, I take it back, I can just take Motrin or Imodium, anyway and having super strength would be too easy.

3) Ability to heal really really fast. Think of Wolverine, only less hairy and with boobs.

4) Super-saiyan-mind-wisdom-intelligence-learning-plus-read-really-fast. I love to read, and to retain what I read and access the info without curling my brow would be really great.

Feel free to share, of course.

p.s., Running update: I have not trained. I am soooo dead.

But somehow can relate to this hilarious spoof!

Okie. I gotta get going with my 1/2 marathon training soon; like, really really soon. I have 21 days before my San Jose 1/2 marathon (race) and I have done zip, zilch, squat, nada, nuthin', nil, zero, sifr, none, no training or running whatsoever. ACK. This is, like, worse than when I was training for my marathon last year… Maybe because I'm thinking, it's just a half-marathon or maybe it's the weather (hot summery crap) that has not motivated me; either way, I've got to stop making these excuses and start running (again). Oh yah, maybe it's also I'll be running with my sis the entire way that I'm overly confident about it: yah, it's my sis' first 1/2 marathon.. The longest run that she went on was last weekend (8 miles). Her first 1/2! w00t!

Anyway, it probably doesn't help that I'm still up and I have to watch a footy match tomorroz (today) at 5:30AM… I know, I should run instead but that'll be my last excuse for this weekend. Next weekend, I'm going to promise myself to run. It'll benefit me and my sis if I'm prepared for her 1/2 marathon.

OMG 21 days!!! AHHHHHH.
