Day Forty-One: I Complain About Miami's Basketball Team

7/24/14, 9:05 PM PDT

Woke up at 9:45-ish to go run with Charles. Which almost didn't happen because lazy, sleepy me didn't go to sleep until 3 AM and didn't want to get out of bed. But I sucked it up, ran to the high school with him, then ran back home while he stayed there for dance practice.

Tell you what, it was a big mistake to wear black today, because the run back was HELL. Dear GOD, it felt like I was on fire the entire time back. The weatherman on some radio station that I happened to be tuned into said that today would easily be the hottest day of the week, with a high of effing 94 degrees Fahrenheit. Considering that I consider anything above 65 degrees "hot," that puts today's high at around... really goddamn hot when converted to Michaelean degrees.

Right above "unbelievably" hot but below "Olivia Wilde In Her Prime" hot.

Poor dad. We drove to him while he was doing his mail carrier route and he was BOILING in this heat. Brought him some Yogurtland and a sandwich, but we forgot to bring him a bottle of water even though he specifically told us to bring one. Yep, that'll be on our consciences for a bit. Sorry, dad.

Anyway, spent a large chunk of today editing my short film again. Today's edits: frame-by-frame masking to compensate for environmental glow caused by muzzle flashes. Fun. Here, have another scandalous, scandalous leak.

That's... that's an awful lot of blood...

Oh, and what could probably be the happiest news of today:

YES. I FEEL LIKE I JUST WON THE LOTTERY.

Ubiworkshop also says there will be prizes for who can complete the course the fastest for each of the days. So guess who's gunning for first place?

...Probably Kacy Catanzaro, who ran the course today. If you didn't know, she's the girl that absolutely wrecked the American Ninja Warrior Finals.

Oh, and if (when) I do get to run the course, I'll have a bit of a treat for you guys. But that'll have to wait until tomorrow. Or Saturday.

RFotD: Kacy Catanzaro is the first woman to ever qualify for the finals on American Ninja Warrior.

SGAT: Filmmaked. Is that a word? Well now it is.
