This is Halloween. This is Halloween. As I ran, I listened to Apple Music’s Halloween dance mix. A great run. I felt so fast and strong and capable of running hard for long periods of time. And I did — relatively speaking. Faster and longer without stopping than I have in the past year.
10 Things
- slick leaves on the path — don’t remember hearing them squeak
- running on the east side, near meeker island dam, a large group of kids laughing and playing on the other side. too far to be at a school playground. were they on the white sands beach?
- puddles on the franklin bridge
- a runner running far ahead of me, then walking, the stopping to sit on a bench — he wore bright blue shorts
- bright headlights
- the river from the franklin bridge — a view of the trestle and reflections of trees, but no rowers
- the river from the lake street bridge — empty pewter river, pale brown sandbar, slight ripples
- on the franklin bridge, a small red dot off in the distance, then it turned green — a stoplight
- a person with a dog, turning down and entering the meeker dog park
- a soft rain, difficult to notice with my hat and tights and sweat
October viewing update
Finished Theater of Blood — so good! Although the second to last death was super gross — let’s just say it involved gluttony and a funnel. And the last “death” — presumably the worst because it was the final one — was more terrible than actually dying; it involved hot knives and blinding the one remaining critic. Sigh — the idea that not being able to see is a fate worse than death, or a living death. Regardless, I really enjoyed the movie.
Also watched John Carpenter’s The Thing. I really liked it — some gross special effects, but a very good movie. Good pacing, good acting, a good premise with haunting questions about trust and how/where enemies lurk.
Current Writing
I’m on a role right now with my writing. I have so many things to work on, that I don’t want to take the time to explaing them right now!
