I’ve been playing with an iPhone app called “Everyday” for a few months now. Every day, it prompts you to take a photo of yourself. It provides a grid so you can make sure you’re lined up in the same spot. Then you can turn them all into a time lapse! Kinda fun.
Who’s a badass running in the rain? Me and @rajsingh2505 are badasses running in the rain.
In the pouring rain. BOOYAH.
What a dreary, crappy week of weather we’ve had! Sunday the Snook and I went for a short run (cutback week) with a Magic Mile in the middle. I’m thrilled to report we did it in 9:24! I have definitely gained some speed in the past few months. I added an extra bit to the run to take it to 7km in total. Monday I was meant to give blood so I didn’t bring any workout gear… only to have the Red Cross stab me twice without getting a decent vein. Damn. I ran on Tuesday at lunch, then had a Spudds workout on Wednesday. I felt kinda crappy and ill during Spudds, but I’m fine now so it must not have been anything serious. Today I went for another run in the pouring rain with my friend Raj. We’re tough!
July 17: 7.09km
July 19: 5.62km
July 22: 5.52km
Total this week: 18.23km (11.4mi)
Total in 2011: 704.45km (440mi)
To meet my goal of running 1200km in 2011, I should be at 669km this week. So I’m still ahead of the pace! My ankle is still not 100%, but it’s better. I’m looking forward to our scheduled 15km long run this Sunday. It’ll be the longest run the Snook’s ever done!
It appears that I am not the only person enjoying the recent 80’s sax solo resurgence in pop music. Awesome.
@bellsknits @that_alison There are many int’l foodies that actually prefer American cheese for burgers. It melts beautifully.
While yes, there’s lots of gross American food, I would just like to say two words to the Aussies: MUSK STICKS. I rest my case.
@drkknits @gilmae Peeps are just sugar. Musk Sticks, as far as I can tell, are meant to mimick the taste of SECRETIONS FROM ANIMALS.
@that_alison @bellsknits I heard similar about chocolate in Aus. That a lot of it is sold as “choc” because it’s not legally chocolate.
I had no idea so many of you like musk sticks. This is disturbing.
Musk Sticks are the Australian equivalent of Circus Peanuts, in that I associate them with old people, styrofoam, and disgusting tastes.
And by Circus Peanuts, I mean these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Peanuts
@brodrigu Just somebody acting all horrified by American cheese. As if Australian cuisine didn’t have equivalent grossnesses.
@drkknits @gilmae Wait, what? Teeth? YOU ATE TEETH?
@drkknits Oh, THOSE. I’ve seen those before. Again, I think of that type of thing as “old people candy.”
What’s worse? Being a sociopath, or tolerating that behaviour OVER and OVER and OVER? #soverytired
Discovery: Paul Kelly’s “Before the Old Man Died” has a wicked saxophone solo. I’m, like, collecting 80’s sax solos now. In my head.
@knitdra Ooh, no. Must investigate!

@imdominating For 2 sec, Rodd and I considered going as Khal Drogo and Danaerys for Halloween. But neither really wanted to be topless! 🙂

Celebrity sighting at Spudds gym! Twice now while our Wednesday lunchtime class has been going on, a guy has come in early for his personal training session. I recognised him immediately. It was Brendan Cowell! Yesterday I got up the nerve to say hello as I was heading out the door.
Me: Sorry to bother you – but were you on Life Support on SBS?
Him: Yeah, that was me.
Me: You were brilliant. That smoked salmon dish you made… I thought my husband was going to die.
He had a chuckle and repeated the punchline about capers (“They used to be pretty hard to find, but now they’re available basically everywhere!”) for me and Spudd. Heh.
While my love for the Harry Potter books is well-documented, I still wish I lived in a universe where Hermione was the hero, Jo got to use her real name, and Neville ends up hot. (Oh right. That last one is already true.)
