Bay to Breakers
This weekend I joined 60,000 other people in a 7.6 mile run/walk/dodge of naked people across the city. Known as Bay to Breakers, this event is a San Francisco tradition that involves Elvis impersonators, more jello shots than water stations, a group dressed as salmon running the race backwards/"upstream", and the aforementioned naked people.
I have never run more than 3.5 miles at a time. I get bored. And tired. But I wanted to see Jen and somehow enticed her with this casual invitation to run this race together and next thing you know I'm in a sea of flying tortillas (another odd tradition) and a hoard of people dressed as Smurfs. It was awesome. Thanks to Jen, it was the first time I really enjoyed running. The Non-Race Monkey and my brother met us at the end and we proceeded to Ton Kiang where we battled the tourists and ate about 40 plates of dim sum. Excellent post-race tastiness.

Catkins
In the last entry I mentioned "cooking for my cat." I may be neglecting Lunamania and the human dietary needs in this house, but my cat is living large--literally. I have been known to (proudly) report that Tamu's last visit to the vet had him weighing in at 18 lbs.
The vet was not alarmed, but told me that if cut back on dry food (lots of bad filler) and fed him a high proteing wet food, he would lose some weight. It's a Catkins diet! I took it one step further and eliminated the dry food entirely and started feeding him cooked celery infused with anchovies. I top this with about half a serving of Trader Joe's Cat Tuna (29 cents a can peoples.) ok, this is TMI and illustrates obsessive Cat Lady behavior. But just a last thought...I suppose the celery would not be allowed in a true Catkins diet--but isn't there some urban myth about celery being a negative calorie food? I get it cuz it's 99 cents for a week worth of celery.
Anyhoots, The Big Grey One has lost some weight, or at least as one friend noted, "he looks flatter." Here are some before and after shots--notice his now has a WAIST.
Go figure...I just spent the last however many minutes announcing to all of cyberspace that I have no life...but my cat has a waist!

Citizen Complaints
Lunamania is just like Karl Rove, i.e. about to be indicted. har har. Lunamania is facing allegations of neglect and laziness. I will mount a robust defense to establish that I have been doing things other than eating cheetos and cooking for my cat. I have pictures to prove it. Although I confess that I did neglect to read the pre-event memo for KSW's Commotion. Apparently, there was a boots and skirts dress code? Click on image to get to photogallery.
