glory before grind

it was the point at which i realized that i was taking a break from my paper by playing a game on the computer after a long afternoon glued to the screen that i decided to up and run.

i'm a bit disappointed, because while i completed the mission (zombies run!) from that moment on (just about my midway point) my data flatlines. i feel cheated, i know i did more than 11km but that's not what my profile says :/

on the other hand, the glorious, cool breeze made the bright, summer's day bearable and even pleasant; a lot can be forgiven for these moments of relief. i'm very glad i left in time to catch a wonderful sunset.

...

regarding my 4am tweet about shakespeare: of the five poems he wrote, at least two of them are commentaries on the sonnets. no wonder they don't make much sense out of context... and even when you understand this, his language seems so ambiguous that it takes a few re-reads to realize what it is that he's actually written.

sheesh. at least it looks like i've finally *gotten* a lover's complaint. i really don't understand what anybody sees in the poem otherwise. or, i understand why nobody likes it and why some people deny it's shakespeare's :P
