Nueva imágen de Shia en Transformers 3


La de arriba es la nueva imágen de "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" en la que vemos a Shia y a John Turturro en silla de ruedas. El trailer estará disponible en internet a la 7 PM/EST, horario de Estados Unidos por lo que en España serán ¿Las dos de la mañana? No sé, el caso es que si por algún casual se adelanta el lanzamiento o se filtra lo tendreis aquí pero si es de madrugada no creo que pueda subirlo hasta mañana por la mañana. Ya sabeis que a esa hora estará ya circulando por toda la red.

Nuevo Video de Passion Play


En Just Jared tienen un clip (en exclusiva) de "Passion Play". La película, finalmente, se estrenará de forma limitada en cines de Nueva York y Los Angeles el próximo 6 de Mayo y posteriormente ese mismo mes saldrá a la venta en DVD. Podeis ver el clip exclusivo AQUÍ.


Not Really Running

The past three months have been pretty terrible with regard to my running.  Terrible in the sense that I haven't really been doing much of it.  I first felt some (extremely mild) pain in my right shin back on January 11th after a track workout the previous day had clearly tightened up my posterior tibialis a bit.  Over the next couple of weeks it gradually worsened little by little, but I figured my taper before the Rocky Raccoon 100 would loosen it up.  Strangely, the reduction in running almost seemed to make it worse and on my short 30min jog the day before the race it was probably the most sore it had been yet.  The shin was barely a worth-mentioning issue during the race itself (100 milers have a way of eventually making everything hurt), but--despite all kinds of treatment--it has almost completely sidelined me in the ensuing months--obviously looooong after any other race-related soreness/twinges were hindering me.

This has been rough--as being injured for extended periods of time always is, mentally and emotionally--but in my final semester of course-work for my masters degree I have been plenty busy with serving as a teaching assistant, and, in the last couple weeks, tending to my own end-of-the-semester exams and projects, which has required me to focus my energies elsewhere.

My desire to blog has always been a tenuous one.  This blog is designed to be almost exclusively about my running, and there are always whole aspects to my life that shouldn't and won't ever make it onto these pages.    Anyone who is interested about my initial purposes for blogging can easily go back and read my first post. Back then it was for very personal, even selfish, reasons that caused a certain amount of cognitive dissonance even in my own head as a blog is a very public space.  But so it goes.

Over the past couple of years I've realized that maintaining a blog isn't such a personal thing as one might first think and that it is actually a very rewarding means by which to connect with others, share, and hopefully inspire and impact the community in a positive manner.  I say it a lot, but running often feels like a very selfish activity to me, however, sharing my experiences with other interested folks via this blog and others has become an effective way to hopefully contribute and expand the impact of my running experiences beyond just my own little world.

That said, this is a running blog, and if there is a lack of posting it is most likely because either

A) I'm injured and not running much, or
B) I'm running plenty but other responsibilities in my life have temporarily consumed the time that I would otherwise spend composing a post.  That is, actually living and doing will always take precedent--for me--over documenting and sharing on the internet.

The past month--or three months--has been a combination of both A and B.

On the bright side, running-wise, things have been looking slightly up over the last couple of weeks.  I'm up to a daily whopping 5mi run with a ~1000' climb and am even feeling confident that tomorrow I might be able to bump that up to the 1500'/1hr outing that Flagstaff Mountain here in Boulder offers.  While certainly better than not running at all, I hardly find these skimpy daily doses of dirt blog-worthy, so the content here will probably continue to be thin until my shin allows something more interesting.

With regards to racing, all bets are off until I am once again healthy and confident in my fitness.  I don't line up for an ultramarathon unless I feel I can do the event and the competition justice by delivering a meaningful best effort.  So, you won't see me at a starting line unless I'm confident in my ability to do that; if you do see me on a starting line, you can be sure that I feel ready to rip.  I think the biggest reason that I'm injured this time is because back in January I let my ego take over and prod me to cram in too much training in too short of a period of time leading up to Rocky Raccoon.  I am currently determined not to make that mistake again--instead, I hope to stick to the principles of gradual progression of mileage and reasonable overall training volume that facilitated my consistency for most of 2010--so there won't be a rush back to racing.

In the meantime, happy running, and I hope you enjoy this little slice of audio pleasure as much as I have been:



Until at least next week, back to the books.

¿Adiós a Marilyn Monroe?

Las últimas apariciones públicas de Foxy están dando lugar a toda una serie de especulaciones. Resulta que el tatuaje de Marilyn Monroe que la actriz luce en su brazo está mucho menos visible que antaño y ya son numerosas las voces que apuntan a que Foxy se lo está quitando. Los tatuajes han de ser repasados con el paso del tiempo y Foxy, o a pasado de hacerlo por el momento o realmente se lo está quitando. En futuras apariciones veremos en qué queda la cosa.

...Sexy, sexy...


Megan Fox 11-4-2011

Estas imágenes llegan con bastante tiempo de retraso pero nunca es tarde :) Foxy en "Marmalade Cafe" el pasado 11 de Abril juno a una ¿Amiga? Por otro lado se está comentando mucho la disculpa pública de Mickey Rourke después de que en una entrevista pusiera a parir (literalmente) a la película "Passion Play". Ahora el actor da marcha atrás y dice que todo lo dijo porque estaba de fiesta y que se arrepiente mucho...

ACTUALIZACIÓN: Se comenta en numerosas webs que la chica que acompaña a Megan podría ser su hermana Kristie. Por supuesto con estas cosas nunca se sabe pero si es cierto me alegro de verla por aquí :)

28 de Abril, nuevo trailer de Transformers 3



El próximo 28 de Abril tendremos el segundo trailer de "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" que, supongo, será más largo y nos mostrará más imágenes de la trama y más explosiones por todos los lados.

Todo esto lo sabemos porque Bay ha vuelto a hablar para asegurarnos que la película va a ser la octava maravilla del mundo y para volver a poner como una mierda a "Transformers: La Venganza de los Caídos", además asegura que lo deja todo listo para un reboot de la saga pero sin Shia porque, según él, "Se está volviendo un gruñón"... vale Bay, lo que tu digas. Teneis toda la información y todas sus declaraciones AQUÍ. El 1 de Julio (algunos) asistiremos al desastre.

An Afternoon at Gallery Nucleus!


Lots of things are happening! One of the neatest things I have to share is that the awesome people at Motivarti and Gallery Nucleus have asked me to spend an afternoon lecturing and demoing for anyone who might be interested. If you happen to be in LA on Sunday, April 17th, I would be honored if you would stop by! Here are the details:

An Afternoon with Brittney Lee

Sunday, April 17th, 2011
1:00 – 4:30 pm
at Gallery Nucleus (210 East Main St. Alhambra, CA 91801)

The afternoon includes:

- a one-hour lecture with Q&A, with topics including Brittney’s development as an artist, techniques for creating a fan base, and advice for making the transition to a career in the entertainment industry

- a two-hour, open-format paper demo, in which Brittney will craft an original paper work while explaining her process and techniques

- an artist meet-and-greet, with print and book signing following the paper demo

- a raffle of the original paper artwork created during Brittney’s demo; you’ll receive 3 free raffle tickets for attending, with more tickets available for purchase at the event

-an opportunity to purchase a limited-run, numbered and signed print which Brittney has created exclusively for Gallery Nucleus and Motivarti for this event

More information can be found here.

The painting at the top of this post is the print I made just for the workshop. I am not sure how many Motivarti/Gallery Nucleus are planning to make, but I do know that they will be exclusive to Gallery Nucleus (i.e. I won't be able to sell them in my shop.) I really hope to see you all there!

Now to finish my piece for this show. Back to work- more updates soon!

Various Links

I don't have a lot to report here, but there have been a couple recent prose contributions of mine published over at Running Times.

The first is an article I wrote a couple months ago for Rodale for which I was given the extremely broad prompt of "write about why you run trails" (a topic that I feel I have particularly oversaturated with my opinion).  Although not published in its originally-intended location or medium, I am pleased that it is now in the public sphere at all.

The second is a post over on my RT blog about a trip I took this past weekend for a series of talks/presentations in Michigan.

Finally, my auditory experiences of the past couple of weeks have been dominated by the following song by Phantogram. (Well, the entire album, actually.)



Egregious, I know, but I've gotta recommend this acoustic version as well:
