I ran 45:47 in the St. Patrick's Day 10K this morning. A PR, if only because I'd never ran a 10K before (though a 7:22 pace is nothing to be ashamed of). And I feel better today, one can only assume the two things are related.

My sister's in town to visit and finish up Dad's taxes. We went out to dinner and then a movie, The Guru. It was a great, great movie. Who'd've thunk it. At times watching it, I was wishing there were more Bollywood dance numbers, but in the end, I think it was smart not to try to compete with real Indian films on this account. Instead, it captured the energy and spirit and humor of Bollywood, but is definately a Hollywood film, in the best sense. It parodies bollywood and hollywood, and deals with the issues an Indian--excuse me, a Native American--faces. But ultimately, its about the twin pillars of Hollywood, sex and money. It's always made for great drama and greater comedy, and this is no exception.

Incidentally, what is with Heather Graham playing porn stars? This is at least the third film, I think there may have been more. I know porn stars often (at least according to a hard-hitting VH-1 documentary) think they'll break into mainstream entertainment; is Heather Graham hoping to make the opposite move? Or is it just type-casting? Someone should talk to her agent.
