May I Try Another Recipe Please?

Posted by Cynical Sarah on May 31, 2010

It’s the last day of May and I haven’t even told y’all about my culinary adventure from the latest issue of Cooking Light yet. In honor of the great weather we’ve been having and the possibility of barbecues in the near future, I tried a healthy potato salad recipe this month.

In my mind, potato salad is supposed to be a mayo and mustard concoction that’s served cold and can’t be left out too long or it will go bad. It sure does taste good, but perhaps a potato salad with less calories and less chance of food poisoning would be a nice change.

Simon Night on American Idol

Posted by Cynical Sarah on May 27, 2010

The American Idol finale was the background soundtrack while I was studying last night. I haven’t watched the show all season, but I figured at least it would mostly be music while I crammed in more Project Management info before my test next week.

Sure, it was mostly music, but it was also mostly a big love fest and goodbye to Simon Cowell.

My Lady Gaga Friday

Posted by Cynical Sarah on May 21, 2010

There’s nothing like a long list of things I want to get done to drive me to complete avoidance and time wasting. It began by logging into Twitter and finding an update about a video on YouTube. That led to about two hours of finding and watching related videos instead of going for a run, making a grocery list, putting away the last of the laundry, cleaning the computer room, vacuuming me, and many more tasks for the day.

So to feel somewhat productive, I bring you the videos I was most entertained by or impressed with featuring Lady Gaga songs or parodies.

What Runner’s High?

Posted by Cynical Sarah on May 19, 2010

This week I started Week 7 of the Couch to 5k training program. Before you start applauding too loudly, I have to be honest and say that I started on Week 2, so really I’ve only been doing this for six weeks.

I did that because I was already incorporating some jogging into my speed walking during the week, so I figured I could skip ahead a bit. This decision was made with full knowledge of all the warnings and advice on all the sites that you should start on Week 1 no matter what you think your own running fitness level is unless you’re already a runner and then you wouldn’t be doing this program anyway.

Whale Tale From False Creek

Posted by Cynical Sarah on May 5, 2010

Vancouverites got a rare treat today as a gray whale made its way up False Creek and hung out around Science World for a while today.

There were reports of a gray whale feeding in other places along the coast yesterday as well, but according to news sources, this is probably the first time in 100 years a gray whale has come up False Creek. It was literally right downtown.
