ohmigod zach kills himself so that max can have his heart for a transplant? what a beautiful romantic tragic thing to do! i'm just speechless! i totally don't think he's an asshole now after what he did! i wish they could bring him back, he really wasn't such a bad guy after all! it was all an act, he's just a big softy! i totally can't wait for next season to start! I predict max will take a few episodes to try to escape from post-manticore, escapes finally, and then back to the regular series of hijinks. i wonder if lydecker will be a good guy next season? john savage makes a creepy villain, but i would much rather like him rather than despise him. also, that whole love scene between max and logan, i was thinking to myself, "lucky bastard! he's going to actually marry her in real-life! 20 years old! jessica alba! lucky bastard!" i also thought it was refreshing that a series would actually give viewers a sex payoff -- most shows wait a few seasons before bedding the main characters, to draw out the tension! when it turned out all to be a big dream, i thought, "hmm, that's more like it! tease me some more james cameron!"

it was cold enough to see our breath, probably bad weather for the joints, and we wound up pretty soaked, but office manager amanda and i went out running today. i didn't honestly think she'd take me up on the offer of a "rain or shine" run but the call of the exercise bug is too persuasive. besides, it gave me a chance to get out of the office, get some fresh air, albeit a little bit wet. there were hardly anybody else running (just the diehards) and the cool temperature actually made it easier to run (versus those days when it gets so hot i feel like my lungs would burst). we did the usual, from the base of the longfellow, down a stretch of the charles river shoreline, across the mass ave. bridge, down the spiral ramp, before coming to a stop and walking the rest of the way. on way back, our conversations strayed from the cause of pneumonia (i say its fecal matter!), to sunbathing in the rain, to why people would volunteer to run marathons.
