Gasping, but somehow still alive.

Last night we saw The Killer. I have been on a Fincher kick. Two running gags in the film are the (unnamed) assassin's use of characters from sit-coms as aliases, and that he listens to The Smiths to relax.

In fact, I enjoyed these moments of "comic relief" so much, it really irritated me when one of his aliases was Sam Malone. All of the other other references -- Robert Hartley, Reuben Kincaid, Archibald Bünker -- were from the 1970s. Including a Cheers reference threw me and it still bothers me this morning.

David Fincher is too exacting to have made such an error.

Trying to run slower, to be intentional. My knees hurt after every run, like they never have before. Taking pain reliever, sure. But I wonder if I am doing damage, or it's just getting old and I have to deal with it.

The run today was glorious. Just perfect. Lovely day.
