Jogged/walked (about 2:1) ~9,7km with the gf yesterday, discovered a beautiful spot along a bike trail along the coast and some swampland, I call that some gains!
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I've been writing a little snippet for the last few hours. Nothing major, mostly a prologue of a sort to help me start rollin' in this little story I've been crafting in my head. I sure don't see how to finish it just yet, but if I'm entertained, then it can't be so bad, eh? Damn, it's good to get back to this after a fucked up period of exams.

Watching a Canadian made show on ABC4Kids -
"G'day! I'm a kangaroo. I live in Australia and Tasmania....."
*facepalm*
Edit: It's actually a French Canadian made show. Pretty much explains it, really. XD

Seeing these shoes in town today.
I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of this feline.
For some reason, I thought of Abyss as soon as I seen them.

Been to the Poland - Iran game at Gdańsk/Sopot ERGO Arena (volleyball World League, heathens.). Was one of the most fabulous experiences in my life. Polish volleyball fans are the best crowd of spectators and supporters in the world.

My cousin is awesome. Today is my birthday and he's away in another city but saw something that he thought would be a perfect gift, bought it and sent it to me. I now have a 79 cm tall Darth Vader figure in my SW collection - his left hand is in the Force choke position. It's awesome and I'm like a little kid on X-mas morning right now.
The meaning of life is BOOM!!!

Confirmed test for a really exciting job on Friday, and I'm venturing into the vlogging with my illness blog tomorrow. I'm still useless at Youtube (why is everything linked to Google+?!) so this should be amusing!

On the train into Brisbane CBD today, I was waiting near the doors as we came into the station. Happened to glance down at 2 older people reading their Kindles. The man was reading Memories of Ice.

Fantastic coffee this morning.
I looked at coffee machines for about a week before getting an Aeropress and a burr grinder for a fraction of the price.
The Aeropress is like a cafetiere but uses a paper filter, which leaves no grounds, is easy to clean, and is super compact and portable so you can take it wherever. And it makes awesome smooth fresh coffee. Genius.
Combined with some fresh ground beans from the grinder and the result is better than a lot of the machine made stuff I've tried. Also my daughter saw the grinder and wanted a go, and now likes to sit and grind coffee..bonus!

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.
