⇒ teh bowlingz

caught up with some old friends over teh bowlingz...

of note:

• the refurbished joint is quite nice


• the lane 'speed' is well, fast


• good serving size for chippies


• hi-speed machines mean in-out bizness...don't be rushing my bowlingz!


• i won both games...and how! whipped my mates by 17 in the first and 40 points in the second game. I'm not claiming to be a good bowler, but the were just craptacular today so my mediocre skills still thrashed them.

also found time for quick gymming late in the afternoon. Stayed on the treadmill for 13'. Too ashamed to remember total anythings for that...definetly need a layoff, just so the shins can recover somewhat. Did manage to bench 8x60, which is good, for me.

⇒ marketing

First, how do you satisfy the core while still expanding appeal? And second, how do you leverage your strengths against entirely untapped audiences--to the so-called "blue oceans" in popular marketing speak? ... Provide a new product that actually underperforms on an established industry metric for "progress," and substitute an alternative that typically is smaller, less expensive and easier to use. Initially, the "core" of any industry will scoff. But if the product is right, enough new users will be attracted to form an alternative definition for progress.

Get outta here, who's gonna do for them what I do? Muthaf#ckas...Btw, I proved my point and myself, once again kicking another muthaf#cken Internet Explorer bugs' a$$!...little victories...

Was supposed to run today but the late finish totally blew off my gym-going plan for the day...

⇒ suvvering vor vork

work is hard. i need to keep reminding myself that if it were so easy/too easy, everyone would be in on the action. It just burns me up that I have to stay back and that traveling home takes 70mins. Oh well, I guess the next jobs will be closer and closer to home and logically progress/improve. Btw, I'm the man! Kicked that muthaf#cken Internet Explorer bugs' a$$! Now I only got one visual element left to un-bork in IE...little victories...

Went for a run today, thought I had very little time (stayed back at work 30mins), so I intended for just a run, an attempt at 5km even. Didn't make it. Ran for 20', notched up 2.8km (2km in 13') but legs felt weak. Why are my legs always hurting? Maybe should give them a longer layoff (7 days?). I thought the joint was closing, but as it happens, we're on daylight savings time now, which equals extra 30mins gym time. Haven't seen gym girl in 3 weeks(?).

⇒ too much food

had a big breakfast and big lunch, so I was all loaded up with food when I decided to run. My shins felt like they might snap, I was crampy all over and generally very uncomfortable. Held on running for just 6'. Stopped after 10'. Pathetic...

⇒ happiness, sadness

friday: ran--don't remember the quality, probably the average, ~2.5km in 20'. Skipped out of work at precisely quitting time because I saw the boss and don't give a flying f#ck she works til midnite. Good on ya. I'm not renumerated the same figures so leave me alone b!tch. Same goes for her lapdog. You want me to work harder? Pay me better, a$$hole.
saturday: ran--don't remember the quality, probably same as friday. ~2.5km in 20'. Do note that the run came after the enormous 24-year feast. I ate 3-4 times what I normally would eat in one sitting, so that couldn't have helped the running.

sunday: i'm both happy and sad...grandparents have gone home to l.a., cali. I'm not sure why i feel the way i do.

no run today.
