Miscellany
Brokeback Mountain is finally actually playing here this week, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to go see it because I don't have any evenings free. I'd prefer a Sunday matinee, but no matinees for cowboy movies.
I signed up for Lighten Up Iowa which is more than usually team spirited for me, but I want to start upping my activity level and I figure what the heck. For Lighten Up Iowa you agree to report either your weight loss or your minutes of activity for the next five months. I opted for an activity team in part because I don't have a scale and would just have to make up my weight every week which probably defeats the purpose.
The activity teams used to track miles and last year's top team averaged 5,000 miles per team member. This led me to attempt some math: 5 months @ 30 days per month is 150 days. Figure on average someone walks 3 miles an hour. So, to walk 5,000 miles in 150 days would take about 11 hours a day.
Holy crap!
Then I realized some of them probably rode bicycles.

I'm jealous. It's still not playing here. Playing down in one theater in Little Rock, three hours away, and I hear it's playing in Tulsa, two hours away.
The university is making a big push to get us active here too, btw. It was part of this semester's "Pre-School Actvity." I resisted. One more thing to feel guilty about, I thought. Now I feel guilty about resisting. Drrrr.
