⇒ do nothing

I almost didn't go running today--the weather was overcast, it's late in the day, my legs hurt...blah blah blah...I didn't put up with my bullsh!t, went an ran to a new personal best:
2.0km in 11'50" (new record) ave. 10.2km/h
2.1km in 13' total (168 KCALs)

cut the duration short because I thought I was short on time!

⇒ toshiba 'timesculpture'

toshiba's gone and done something special for an ad...a 'timesculpture' which is explained away as being a logical progression of bullet-time...yeah.

* The TV ad was shot using 200 Toshiba Gigashot Cameras: the highest number of moving image cameras ever used in a film sequence
* This particular technique, viewing looping action in 360 degrees, has never been done before
* The time spent processing footage from 200 cameras was over four weeks - 24 hours a day seven days a week!
* In terms of data, this is one of the biggest jobs a post-production house has ever taken on - 20TB of data
* New offline and online editing software had to be specifically built for the job
* Soundtrack is provided by Crystal Castles
* Integrated campaign to promote Toshiba's new range of upscaling products – TV, DVD and laptops - that convert standard definition TV and DVD images to near high-definition quality

⇒ rotten

wretched run today--felt cramped, rotten and bloated (not enuff time between eating and exercise, due to 'surprise training'--not training to surprise ppl, but being surprised by a training scheduling, geddit?)...the willpower showed up for a few minutes (that's how i made 2.95, otherwise it would have been around 2.3!)

2.5km in 17'15" (onto 2.95km in 20')
220KCAL+

⇒ horrible, painful day

today could have been a total loss, but I salvaged it with perseverance and brutal willpower...or complete procrastination...whatevs, man.

start: got my pops peeved at me because he didn't listen to me. wat? it's like in one ear and out the other with that guy!
more: half an hour late to work
more: work has to be re-done because some imbecile middle-man can't get the specifics right the first time! GAAHHHH!
more: dripping sweat all the way to work...DAMMIT!

later: run in spite of aching legs...did good too! 1.6km in 10'30" (consecutive) - ave. speed = 9.6km/h.
Went on to 2.8km in 20' and 210KCALs
10x60, 12x50, 16x40 = 1840...new record?

scott adams' ability to lampoon frivolous office culture and middle-management types never ceases to amaze me.

note to self: since quality of content is improving (little by little), I really should fix that style sheet up!

⇒ offlined

computers at work got upgraded. The downside being the system migration didn't go quite as planned and fluffed up my server/database settings. Add to that the new MACs don't have connectors for the older displays...pain in the a$$

fri: run, don't remember the specifics, but probably wasn't out of the ordinary
sat: laze
sun: had the moroccan spice chicken burger from Bitton's...man, my workmate waaaaaay overrated that. I thought it was ok...The only thing special it had going for it was the fresh ingredients, but otherwise not 'the best', as he put it...traffic was a nightmare to get thru! I hate King St!

went for a run later in the day, made 5.0km, but in 38'35" and 361KCALs, not my best, by far...my legs felt so locked up. I just think there's something really wrong with my lifestyle/diet which prevents me from running more than 2km continuously...
