Full circle

Full oval: I’ve been running! After a very bumpy (literally: swollen knee looking icky) start to my Couch to 5k program, I’m slowly but surely trotting along. Dan suggested that I try running on the school track instead of on our hard, hilly sidewalks. It’s made such a difference! Sure, no one’s going to run a 5k on a nice smooshy track, but for the bad-jointed among you, I highly recommend this approach while you’re getting used to  jarring your knees, hips and spine on a regular basis.

Also recommended: the NHS podcasts for Couch to 5k. Free on iTunes, and set up with a nice Englishwoman telling you when to run and when to walk. The music is quite catchy and keeps the beat that you should be running or walking at any given point.

Full circle: Any of my old-time readers out there? Do you remember my very first blog, My Red Stapler? When I first moved to a self-hosted blog, no appealing red-stapler-ish URLs were available, so I began the bad habit of blog reinvention and called my new one something else. Today I’m working on a project for my Media Production Management class and I need to give my fictional media company a name. I don’t know why it occurred to me, but my very first thought was to call it Lovely Red Stapler Media.

Okay, maybe it occurred to me because I have a red stapler on my desk. But I have seen that stapler almost every day for 7 years. Why today?

But why not?

Would I be retarded to just buy the URL? Just in case? Maybe I should have a home for all my media related projects and portfolio and shit anyway.

Maybe lovelyredstapler.com?

Or should I be The Real Rebekah (TRR Media) or She’s Got Baggage (SGB Creative)?

This is all my way of not actually working on my homework, but it’s stuck in my head. This, friends, is what happens when you move your damn blog too much.

———–

Addendum: And it occured to me AFTER posting this that I could just be a normal human being and call my fake place SCS Creative, for Sweet Cracker Sandwich. As in, THIS BLOG THAT I HAVE AND USE NOW, NOT THE ONE FROM 5 YEARS AGO.

Addendum Numero Dos: I bought lovelyredstapler.com and justified it in my head. Don’t judge.
