6.99 Miles

In an effort to lose some weight I have been using the exercise bike at a local gym. I set it to that 'Fat Burning' program which is an up and down hill setting, and just last week worked up for doing it in half hour stretches. Last night I was trying to meet my goal of doing 7 miles in those 20 minutes. Sadly, I fell short and hit 6.99 miles. How horrible is that? Just a few more seconds and I would have had hit 7 miles even.

On the home front, I just got a new movie poster for my bare walls. I got the Kill Bill Volume 2 poster of Uma Thurman in the bride's gown holding her sword. Quite badass. Just need to get a frame and mount it. I was thinking of placing it over one of the media cabinets next to the TV and the awesome clock. Now I just need to find one for the other side. Decisions, decisions.

Finally, Flag. It's an anime series, and it is pretty good. The story takes place in a fictitious Middle East country that has only gotten over its civil war and with the upcoming peace process, starting to teeter on the edge. The story is completely told from the view of 2 war photographers. And when I say from their view, I mean from their camera lens. It is very maturely set, and quite well done. I just grabbed the last volume and here's hoping it ends well!
