sensis concedes to google. Using either whereis and google maps for directions still kind of sucks--it's missing a distinctly human element. Case in point: to get from A to B, go 10m forward, turn right continue along for 10m turn left continue along for 10m, turn right continue along for 10m turn left continue along for 10m, turn right continue along for 10m turn left continue along for 10m, and so on...where as an actual person (or my preferred directions giving style) would've just said go forward 100m, turn right, go forward 100m. Done!

further evidence uni was a waste of my time: via ABC news. I knew it was a sham! And i called it years ago. Time told on that one, eh?

dude said it. After last week's a$$hole(t), I couldn't agree more with this guy...the problem is in the system, and it filters down on to the streets.

I may have posted about this before but it's just too damn impressive. Papercraft Kraken diorama from a single (big) piece of paper.

no energy at the gym today. Might have been all the sweating I did on the way home. I was sweating profusely for most of the journey, and it wasn't even as hot as other days.
Was so embarrassed, I hope no one could smell me.
Afterwards, it got really windy, and since Glebe is a rock quarry right now (get off your a$$ and finish the f#cken road!), all this really fine rock-dust sandpapered my eyeballs. Not fun.

Didn't run today, the legs were barely holding me up walking. Rode the bike for 15' (boring!) and like I said, I had no energy this arvo.
Somehow managed to bench: 12x50, 10x50, 20x40, 30x40 (incline)
Maybe it's the urgency of the 40+KG of metal about to crush my windpipe should i fail to move it? I got a feeling that's it...

Overall a day of misfortune. I won't even describe the horrible morning with that ultra snooty b!tch on the train. It's cramped, get over it!

some good deals going on today at MYER...like two for ones, buy one get second at half price and spend 75, get 20 off, which can be used with the other 2 deals--now you're talkin!

found some gym time today, run was ok...losing the willpower to push through pain and make numbers i used to, so I'll be modifying the workout next time I go.

ran 2.8km in 20', 210KCALs.
Bench: 16x50, 16x40. Not bad, but I should really raise my minimum to 50 now.

I committed to 'Movember', but I think I made a mistake...I look horrible with a 'stache...it's all patchy, thin and runty...add to that, I work an office job so the in-between phases of not having 'stache and having full-blown 'stache are really problematic...Hopefully my bro will step in and save the day with his uber-impressive 'stache growing abilities.
