Pi and running. :)
I watched "Pi" the other night with my roomies. Consider my mind blown. I have friends, including my one apartmentmate, who have said on occasion that they would like to be the self-destructive genius... my apartmentmate is a math lover, so she was especially on this kick with "Pi." So, I want to pose the question to Diaryland that I've posed to Livejournal... would you consider it worth it to see the truth, even if it was for one second and then you burnt out forever, or would you rather live your life normally, but "seeing through a glass darkly"? I don't think it's as easy a question as it seems, and I think the movie did an excellent job of showing both lifestyles... hurtling toward truth and suicidal madness on the one hand, and blocking yourself from things you can't hold and living happily on the other. Which would you choose? :)
In other news, I can't understand how I'm in the worst shape of my life and getting worse every year, and yet somehow my body still can bang out seven or eight miles. It's weird and awesome. :)
