⇒ it's friday!

(break: w6d1-->days on break: 43) friday, 22nd dec 2006
went to gym and swim for a brief session today. total of about an hour only.
treadmill record today was about 9min/km average and total of just over 2.2 km (?) in 20 mins. Still pretty far from top form tho.

didn't do much else today (it was 30 celsius, so i'm not obligated to do squat).

I'm only invisible when nobody looks at me.

went to gym and pool today. didn't really swim but did some cardio--5km in about 49mins. I know, not too impressive but that's really something for me. I've injured for pretty much a year, and then stressed out and pigged out too. So I'm slowly working back up to my 3km in about 20mins best.

in other stuff, i just watched Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. meh. He should do more Beetlejuice and Sleepy Hollow type movies, you know, stuff that's distinctly Burton-esque. While we're on the topic, Johnny Depp was the voice of Victor in Corpse Bride but here's a recap of my favourite roles he's played:
Hunter S Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Vegas
Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Constable Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow
Edward Scissorhands in Edward Scissorhands
Agent Sands in Once upon a time in Mexico

that's all I can think of right now. Personally, his Willy Wonka pissed me off. I don't get the angle. Wasn't really quirky or deadpan or bizarre enough. Gene Wilder nailed the biarre-weirdo-deadpan angle. I know he's supposed to be doing his own thing but what exactly was it? The only good thing that came of it was the "Good morning Starshine" line. I dunno why but it's stayed with me.

...feel it oh so silky smooth, just let it shine through yeah, just let your sooooooooooooooooooooooooooul-glo yeah! Soul-glo. :)

⇒ status: ennui

(break: w5d6-->days on break: 41)
i've discovered the closest descriptor for my current funk--ennui. it's french for indifferent. sort of. that's pretty much why I haven't been job hunting or really pushing to get into Master's programs.
