*ahem*

I should have done some serious writing tonight, but I decided to watch some of Once Upon a Time in the West while I ate my pre-dinner burrito and ended up watching the entire film, which was very good. And also three hours long.

Run, Spider-Man, run

One of the things I don't like about watching a movie is that I often feel like it's a waste of two hours -- you just sit there and don't get anything done.
In kind of a similar way, I'm sometimes not motivated to run or exercise unless I feel like there's some kind of goal or purpose besides the activity itself (I think this is why sports were invented).
Tonight I was able to reach a happy compromise, however. I ran a couple of miles to the local cinema, watched Spider-Man 3, which most of my friends have already seen or are not interested in seeing, then ran back home. It was a very pleasant way to spend an evening.
These things were discovered:
-Spider-Man 3 is not as good as Spider-Man 2, but it is not as bad as everyone says, if you are willing to be forgiving (I was!)
-My body likes to run! (I already knew this, but it is easy to forget)
-It is OK to go to the movies alone.
