Okay, I guess it doesn't really count as consumerism, but I bought carbon offsets for my car from TerraPass. On the one hand, it does feel a bit like cheating (the lazy man's version of good environmental karma), but I figure it's better than doing nothing, right? I have been carpooling for a few months now, but I still drive quite a bit, so I thought I'd try to do my small part.

I also purchased a Garmin Forerunner 405 today, which is a GPS-enabled watch. I'm trying my best not to fall out of running shape again, so I thought this could help with my training. I've signed up for the San Jose Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon in October, and I'd like to try to beat my time again. Having the watch to be able to exactly track my pace and distance should be really beneficial for my training. Plus, it's shiny and has buttons. Okay, it was mostly that.

Lastly, I finally saw Wall-E tonight, which I thought was very cute.
