waking up wearing yellow

First Monday in a couple of weeks.
Had a nightmare and awoke at six -- I now regret not just staying awake but I couldn't do it. So I moderately overslept, at a very light breakfast and made my way. Still made the 813 but only to be sure I'd be in before Smithers on his first day back. I hope he went skydiving or alligator hunting.
Turns out I ran another under-22-minute 5K on Friday. So I've hit a new level and since today will not be boiling I might be able to maintain this new stasis.

Ate a lot yesterday after a pretty intense workout so I'll see how that plays out. Am reading book four of Moon Knight, which is getting better because the Thunderbolts are after him. I missed the "Civil War" storyline so some things are not painfully obvious but it's an entertaining read. I am finding this book more appealing, partially b/c I've invested some time in reading the last 2 installments and partially b/c he's not a total schizophrenic, his belief is just manifesting itself and that's an interesting idea -- not a major difference from "the force" in many respects.

I decided to listen to a bunch of more upbeat Scott Weiland tracks today. I exerted a lot of energy yesterday and it's not cold out so there's no need to shock me into a state of awareness.
I bought Weiland's second solo album uber-cheap on one of Union Square Virgin Megastore's last days. I think it was maybe a few bucks and I was pleasantly surprised since it was not as murky as 12 Bar Blues. In a nutshell, "Tangle" is probably my favorite song in the whole list, as it just has a lot of cool harmonies and for some reason the banjo is a nice touch. The vocal arrangements are really well done, too. He always incorporates something interesting on his solo stuff, which is admirable. It's not always good but this time it certainly is.

I must confess I am not paying a whole lot of attention to my surroundings and ambiance whilst in the bike lane. I'm focusing a lot of my attention and energy on some meetings I've had and phone calls I'd like to receive. It's time to just move forward, as the ball is in their court for now.

Looking forward to waking up for real and hopefully putting up some solid #s for my run today.

Thank you for reading.
