With three weeks to go until the Army Ten Miler (I said four yesterday; Not so good with the maths), today was the Eight Mile training run. Eminem did not participate, sadly - a little rap might have offered wicked rhythm over on the W&OD trail. But even in the absence of Em, it was a great run, solid pace (12:34), felt fine all the way. I'm now enjoying a quiet afternoon, surfing and catching up with people while taking in ECU / West Virginia online, to be followed by...
SCHOOLWORK! I've got five sharp pages of my piece due on Monday night in the books after last night, and will finish the first draft this evening, which will leave tomorrow for rewrite and finalization. This is all according to the plan, as it will allow me to take in "9" tomorrow (which I've been eyeballing with interest since the first trailer.)
I succumbed to 21st Century Beatlemania, mingled with curiosity, and picked up a copy of the remastered Rubber Soul. I've only given it one spin; I need to put it side by side with the original CD release to hear what I can hear in the remaster - it's too easy to listen more attentively and hear 'new' things that are actually things that have always been there, especially when you consider that the master used in the remaster was the stereo version created by George Martin in 1987 for the first CD release. I'd love to slap it up against the original LP, but I'm a turntable short for that.
I can say, though, that the bit of feedback in "I'm Looking Through You" is still there, so there's been no monkeying with the imperfections.
What? :)
