awesome run tonight — a completely unexpected 12.35km in, my iPod tells me, one hour and one second; now a little tired but not hurting

coco avant chanel was brilliant — well told, well acted, and absolutely gorgeous; love her style, looks great on audrey tautou

just watched kidulthood — gritty, too much sometimes, but really well told. and acted in and written by noel clarke, aka mickey from dr who

have spent the day implementing a bunch of java code that is well beyond my ken — here's hoping it still makes sense next monday

just got jury-rolled; wondering if it's worth becoming an avowed member of a religious order to avoid, being too late to get that law degree

30July2009 08:05

wine and pâté on toast in lieu of running and eating properly — it's one of those days, I'm afraid (recommend twin islands sauv blanc tho)

29July2009 04:38

just read a great essay by malcolm gladwell —Cocksure http://bit.ly/15JSRA — on the psychology of overconfidence, esp re banking

28July2009 08:51

got home and music was playing with no one around — spooky — discovered I'd left it on, real quiet, since this time yesterday!

26July2009 09:37

I don't know what negative reviewers were expecting; potter was actually really good — best of the set so far and decent in its own right

26July2009 03:55

potter it is, coco shall have to wait; cinema is, thankfully, rather sparsely populated

26July2009 01:15

a movie today, but not sure which — it's a toss-up between coco avant chanel and harry potter — am I feeling arty or trashy?

24July2009 21:31

haha, gotta love bert and ernie RT @untoward When was the last time you saw this? http://bit.ly/PP60Q Are you emotionally secure enough?

24July2009 09:57

got home to find a hole in my bedroom roof — http://bit.ly/orNkV — not unexpected tho, at least they found the leak

24July2009 04:04

hah #filmgeek RT @jonrog1 "... hold on, I hear wind." "Good for you. Roll, and action!" Not a director on earth hasn't wanted to say that.

24July2009 03:54

just survived a 100-minute teleconference — a new record; glad I downed that coffee beforehand

23July2009 11:24

just finished reading Charles Stross' Singularity Sky — thrilling read, and full of fascinating political tidbits — great scifi

geek that I am, I was gonna say endorphins but had to look that up on wikipedia — runners high is actually a cocktail — http://bit.ly/2vOvIc

17July2009 09:20

ran the elusive 10km — a pb, and a beautiful way to end a crazy week — legs are now on strike but body pumped full of happy-making chemicals

15July2009 22:36

dinner at Big Rig Diner on oxford st last night. burgers and chilli and jukebox. only new, and still trying to find their rhythm. cool tho.

15July2009 11:38

just finished iain m banks' _the player of games_ — great read — lots of interesting ideas and world-building and riveting from start to end

15July2009 10:18

"I am a vampire, I am supposed to be tormented." loving True Blood

13July2009 11:55

with a turtleneck and epaulette-d purple sweater, I was looking very star trek today — or perhaps it was just a retro-futurism thing

13July2009 09:14

tax all done for another year, and thanks to the medicare threshold changes, fortunately not as painful this time round (thx @KevinRuddPM)

13July2009 02:56

if it could take a portable, external, full-sized keyboard the iPhone could totally replace my need for a laptop - someone get on that

12July2009 10:08

RT @stephenconroy That Australian Idol TVC is like a Hillsong revival. Compelling viewing. Jesus would be proud.

12July2009 08:16

oh and last week was the first since starting running that I've totalled over 20km for the week — must try keep that up

12July2009 08:12

bought new "sports" headphones just for running — seems excessive, but so much easier not having to push earphones back in every few minutes
