⇒ we talked...sortof

i knew it was gonna be a good day...though a bit drowsy at work, managed to push through and complete loads of work, leaving everyone happy with me. Also 'helped' other ppl too.

Left on time and to good weather. That's not the good part tho...got home straight after work and went to gym...I hoped I'd run into the pretty girl that works there. Yes! She came over to talk to me...I must've seemed like such an idiot...She's trying to dispense training advice and I'm all 'umm...dunno...just rock up to gym...' like Cletus...oh wells...

It is confirmed though, that she's gorgeous up close. Slightly taller than me, but a total knockout. Very pretty.

as for gym, benched, ran, stretched, etc...I don't perform well when I feel self conscious...And even though I don't think about it when running, today I ran really poorly. Barely scraped in 2.6km in 20'

⇒ balmy springtime

f#ck off, winter! Springtime is back with a vengeance. Warm, sunny, no windchill--all very comfy 20 or so celsius.
Ate the Chicken Schnitzel Focaccia (toasted) w/ Lettuce, Mayo and Sundried Tomato again--the taste reminds me of uni.

Went for a run today--not bad but not great...the aim is to get comfortable with 3.2km in 20' before moving up...today did 2.75km in 20', which isn't bad, but isn't great either...

Did other weights and stuff, but rhythm felt off (that cute chick was there and I didn't wanna look stupid in front of her)

⇒ relapse

sydney experiences a relapse into typical, shitty august winter weather. It's only a few days until we're in the thick of spring, and by god, it'd better be good.

over the weekend summary:
friday night: uneventful
saturday: games, walk around, Lowenbrau, dessert, pool. Lowenbrau: a bit expensive, but worth it if you're after 'giant pork schnitzel with herb mayonnaise and chips'. Wash it down with a litre of Lowenbrau original and make sure you sit inside--the atmosphere's better with the Bavarian cafe ambience and Oom-pa-pa band.
sunday: shitty weather relapse

more: streetfighter IV finally in sydney. Had a go as 'Crimson Viper'. hmm...i didn't get a really good feel for the character before some douche challenged me with 'Ken'. What an asshole. Of course I'm gonna suck with this character, I've only been playing 5 mins, I can barely figure out the play mechanic! Speaking of which, it may need to undergo revision or take some time to unlock the depths of the game, but I definetly think that it's a step back from third strike so far. Time's gonna tell, I guess.
