Though perhaps I would be if I got through the pile of books waiting to be read. However, the father of a good friend of mine is a huge fan of James Joyce. Before I had even met him (though in a crazy twist of fate we found out he knew my great uncle years ago!), my friend had him convinced I was really called Nora Barnacle. And it just kind of stuck, in that circle anyway. It came way before my blog days, or else perhaps I would be known as Master Crunchy. I'm reading the Brenda Maddox biography right now, and so far (which is really not that far at all) I like many aspects of her...or at least of how she is depicted. If you see Master Crunchy showing up on Cranky Fitness anytime soon, you'll know I changed my mind. Mary the Nosy, you’re going to have to work harder than that if you want me to really believe you’re nosy! :-)

I've been led astray by that Crabby woman... again... and I like your blog. I must confess I'm not a runner, but as a Californian who's into exercising, I have to say, "cool!" I do have a nosy question, but it's too personal I figure you'll just metaphorically slap me upside the head and ignore the question. Which is, why the name "NoraBarnacle"? Are you devoted to James Joyce? Was this explained in some corner of your blog? Yes, I have earned my name "the nosy," but that's okay. I'll go away if it's /too/ nosy. p.s. I enjoyed the UV post.

I wish I was cool enough to think of that. Apparently, there are people out there right now working on a way to send smells over the internet. I am waiting for the day my mom can send me pancakes and french toast. Now that would be technology! Crabby, have you tried Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sunblock. It's the best I've found. And you're very welcome. Thank you for letting me hijack your blog for a day...even though I was a total jerk and forgot to thank you...Thank you!

I do the same thing to myself. But I just can't seem to make myself replace them with something healthy. Oh, and sorry about the cupcakes, Christa! I do the same thing to myself.

(And be careful, writing in the 3rd person can become weirdly addictive. I sometimes find myself THINKING in the third person, narrating my own comings and goings as though I were Crabby. But then no one ever said I was normal). I almost always make myself wear sunscreen even if it's cloudy or, today, rainy. Can I just say I f**cking hate it? Because I really do. I'm waiting for them to invent a pill.) Thank you so much for your Special Guest Appearance! (And be careful, writing in the 3rd person can become weirdly addictive.

This wave of freshly baked, highly frosted, cupcakes passed over my nose. Dammit. Now I want sweets.
