Andrea Bocelli singing Nessun Dorma while the Olympic flame came in made me cry

This Olympic torch montage is making me want to go to Italy. But I always want to go to Italy.

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

EXCELLENT music choice for Italy 🇮🇹

Nice to see Ukraine get a huge round of applause at the opening ceremonies.

Watching the Olympics opening ceremonies Me: This looks like a fashion show @admiraljello.bsky.social I think that’s the point …. In my defense, I’m sick 🤪

The nice thing about wearing a Garmin is that I can send my daily stats to my boss and prove that yes, I am actually sick. 😭

God I fucking hate Shelob

Legolas just yelled “they’re taking the Hobbits to Isengard!” Of course, I responded, “to Isengard!” And Brian yelled from the other room, “To Isengard!”

Sick today, so I’m marathoning Lord of the Rings on the couch. Gollum is 100% a toddler.

Signed up for a 6-week strength/nutrition challenge starting next week. Gonna get swole and healthy. 💪

I’m gonna dress as this Pokemon trainer next Halloween.

DOMS is super real 😭

The word of the day is “rehydrating”

Something I never thought would happen in Florida: warnings about ice on the course today!

Not the time I wanted, but I hit 3/5 goals for the day, and a 9 minute PR.

Halt! This is a book checkpoint 📚 Last: The Martian Contingency by Mary Robinette Kowal Current: The Last Watch by J.S. Dewes Next: The Exiled Fleet by J.S. Dewes #booksky

😭 time to watch Best In Show

Very different fit check from my last race!!!! Planning for a starting temp of 23 with a wind chill in the single digits. It will barely warm up during the race.

The problem with giving myself a very ambitious race goal is that I’m already super anxious about it and the race is three days away 🙃

Regular reminder that the Vorkosigan series exists

W h a t

40 years. Damn. Eerily, today is extremely cold across the Central Florida region.

Had a dream I achieved my time goal at this weekend’s race, so let’s hope I’m prophetic.

Just got to a part in the book I’m reading where two characters hooked up, so I’m very much expecting one of them to die now because SFF has trained me that way 😝

I have the space heater on in my office and the cat will not leave my nap.

Ok. I need to reinstate my “no arguing with other people’s “friends”” on FB rule because these people are making me lose faith in humanity.

There’s literal video - multiple angles! - of someone being shot in the back without a gun in his hand and people are yelling that he “should have complied” and I’m very quickly losing what little faith I had in humanity

How does one dress to run in weather that feels like 20-30 degrees? Asking for potentially me next weekend 🙃

Me: I’m not buying any art at FARTS Karen Hallion: hold my beer

Well. I wanted cold for my next race. 😬

Grady Judd is our sheriff. Google him.

My only Oscars hot take is that “What it Sounds Like” should be nominated instead of “Golden” - or rather, they BOTH should be nominated along with every other song from the soundtrack. 😝

MARCH 27! I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!!

(Why only one book per month? 1 - My brain unfortunately can’t process audiobooks. I would get through SO MANY on my runs if I could. 2 - The aforementioned runs. And related exercise so I can achieve my running goals. 3 - and this is the big one -

One of my non-running goals this year is to start reading again. I gave myself a reasonable goal of a book per month. Going to keep track of them in this thread! #nancireadsagain 1. The Martian Contingency by Mary Robinette Kowal

Opened up my photos and found this gem. Someone came in our room early and I gave him my phone so he’d let me sleep longer. 🤣

Shout out to the person who started a “Borsk Fey’lya Depreciation Post” on Reddit

So the Springtime Surprise 10 miler is themed to Inside Out. I bought an orange sparkle skirt and visor to do a rebel pilot outfit, and then thought - maybe I could mash up Anxiety (who is orange) with a rebel pilot. And then it hit me - I can be the rebel pilot who personifies anxiety!

Watching Detective Pikachu with Owen and my first reaction is “isn’t that the bad sorcerer from Honor Among Thieves”?

Only watching this football game because my husband has an interest in who plays the Seahawks next week, but DAMN that was some play

Photo 1: peak 80s Christmas Photo 2: peak 90s fashion

Kept thinking of what I would use for that “post a moment you love from Kathleen Kennedy’s stewardship of Star Wars” and I settled on NIAMOS! (Chandrilan club mix) and the entire DJ Rex playlist.

Going through stuff at my mom’s today. Found old photo albums. Pictures of me in a bikini when I was in my 20s. I thought I was fat back then. DIET CULTURE IS SO DUMB.

Ate a late lunch, so my dinner is watermelon and grapes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just want Rogue Squadron and will be forever bitter about it. 😭

Me, when people say “John Williams music will finally play in Galaxy’s Edge!”

Sure, and DJT is the epitome of health.

I’m 4’10” tall.
