  • Happiness Project

    How are you guys doing on your Happiness Project? We’re finished with January’s theme of “Energy” and I’d grade myself about 70% on that one. We’re in bed by 10pm on most nights, and I’m getting plenty of exercise. I crossed a few nagging tasks off my To Do list. I still have some much needed organisational chores to do though that I keep avoiding. (I really need to wash all my jumpers and put my winter clothes away. Of course, by the time I manage to do it it’ll be winter again.)

    The theme for February is “Love.” I like the idea of giving proofs of love. I’m workin’ on it.

  • Stuffed Eggplants

    Note to self: Make stuffed eggplants. Those look YUM.

    The truth is that I’m still ambivalent about the iPad. But raving frothing haters are turning me into an iPad-supporter, just out of spite.

    Apple just sent me a survey about my recent repair. The punchline is, NextByte haven’t even called me about it yet. It’s not done, AFAIK.

    @stufromoz The repair. Asks me about the technical ability of person who did the repair, etc. Needless to say, I can’t answer! 🙂

    Bit of a surprise to see @acatinatree’s lovely visage pop up in my Google Reader! Congrats to @Readingroom_Au…

    @acatinatree The Mumbrella story with your piccy! Well done. I was getting worried you were going to be deported… 🙂

    Wow. GGR Episode 2 has had over 100 downloads in the first day. It took Episode 1 four days to reach that! http://bit.ly/beAHBt

    @Bevfam Puh-leeze… I don’t need an even bigger head about this than I already have! 😛

    Tegan and Sara coming to Oz: http://bit.ly/bg7mCN. Anybody want to go to the Sydney show in May with me?

    Just completed a 5.53 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/9itKu3 #RunKeeper

    @kaztx I don’t have a problem with forefoot running – and I’m slow! But I started out alternating run/walks for several weeks to build up.

    Planning a weekend getaway to Kiama. Is it worth $100 extra to get the “Lovebird Suite” with the big corner spa?

  • Pigeon Pose

    “Why do I get emotional during one particular yoga pose?” That’s fascinating. I haven’t experienced that in particular – I don’t do much yoga – but I’ve had something similar running. On a handful of occasions at the end of a race or a particulary draining workout, I’ve just found myself on the verge of tears. Being wrung out makes me cry, I guess.

  • I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

    Dumbledore’s death in the style of Terry Pratchett. HA!

  • Tegan and Sara

    Any of you Sydneysiders want to go see Tegan and Sara with me in May?

  • Oscar Nominations

    The 2010 Oscar Nominations have been revealed, and you all know what that means…

    The 8th annual web-goddess Oscar Contest is coming soon...

  • More on forefoot running

    CoachPRS has recorded an excellent video about forefoot versus heel striking, especially with regards to overpronators. (*cough* SNOOK! *cough*) He shows exactly how the movements and strikes differ, and how the forefoot striking can benefit you.

  • This weekend vs. next weekend

    This weekend or next weekend? Ahh, the dreaded “this” vs. “next” debate. Contrary to what Kelly McMahon and the Snook would have you believe…

    “Next weekend” always occurs after “this weekend”. It never occurs before it. Since “this weekend” is never in the past, that means that “next weekend” will occur a week after the “this [forthcoming] weekend.” Anybody who thinks that “next weekend” is less than a week away is forgetting that “this weekend” exists.

    I really couldn’t agree more!
