I went out to the beach to exercise just now. I had barely finished when I heard the rain coming, so I raced it to the nearest shelter, about 150m away. Just as I ran under it, the sky opened. Talk about close.

Train in the Rain, get used to the pain,
When your instructors get hold of you,
You'll be doing it again.

Started replaying WiH, actually paying attention this time.

[T-LoW]

Had nothing to read on the toilet - so I speedpainted some bird that came to my mind (apprx. 5 minutes). Sadly I'm not that good in drawing.

I had my thesis defense yesterday and it went flawlessly. I'm done with school at last.

Congratulations! 
Now, go get a job, you bum!   

In all seriousness, mad props.

[KewlToyZ]

Nice work!
Glad you didn't have a toiletry emergency 

[Bob-san]

No, that happens when he receives his diploma and realizes it's worth about the same as toilet paper.

[Dilmah G]

Jeez, that's harsh! It's not like it was an Arts degree or anything.

I don't think he's receiving a diploma, buddy (though I could be wrong). Pretty sure this is a masters or PhD, iirc.

I've decided to swap out my less frequent, more intense exercise regiment for a less intense, more frequent one after realising, at the end of my exercise routine yesterday, that although my body can probably handle quite a bit of what National Service will throw at me, my heart won't. I'm currently doing twenty sit-ups, twenty push-ups, fifteen inclined pull-ups and jogging for about 400 metres, and even that is enough to leave me completely breathless for about ten to fifteen minutes.

**** life.  I wanna get drunk.

Thanks! I started looking for jobs back in December and have one lined up at this point.

As for what I did, it's a phd in applied math. This is a semi-popular account of the stuff I worked on.

Ok, so it's not toilet paper. It's a hand-towel.

Better work on that stamina I guess... would more jogging help?

We covered subspaces in linear algebra today. I was thinking of FreeSpace the whole time.

Light jogging, brisk but not power walking, cycling, swimming any of them for 30+mins a day or light weights (a couple of bean cans would also do the job) with many repetitions.  basically you are looking to work your body over a prolonged, preferably unbroken, period of time, ideally over 30 minutes) to improve your bodies ability to take in and process oxygen which means keeping your heart rate in this range

It's like a second renaissance in my life....except it's puberty. ........


So many fit gorgeous, virile, lithe, slender, women in my work, yet cos i'm rebounding H.A.R.D i can't stand the thought of making a move. Imagine if Quagmire broke. Simply broke.



That's how i feel.


 

[Dilmah G]

Speaking of Quagmire, this'll give you a laugh or two if you haven't seen it before.

I finally got back to that big used-book sale that I hit up last week.  Picked up a whole bunch of books...a bit of Asimov and Clarke, since my sci-fi-fu is sorely lacking, two-thirds of a Star Wars trilogy by Stackpole that I think I heard people praising somewhere around here, four or five original James Bond novels, a random volume from the X-Wing series (Bacta War, I think), the sequel to Dune (which I still haven't read yet), and probably a few other things I'm forgetting.  I also stumbled across a vinyl copy of music from Return of the Jedi, as well as an old-school huge-box copy of the original Unreal Tournament.  And to top it all off...I found some sort of special copy of X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter which has a "Not for Resale" sticker on the front, which makes me think it was some sort of promotional copy.  There's a burned CD with a "Master Disk" label alongside the normal game CD, so I'm not even sure what's up with it, but it should be fun to poke through.

All in all, what I call a good haul.

[Scotty]

I have now been awake for 38 hours.

Yaaaaay....

[Qent]

Virile women.... Hmm.


I'm sure that could be a good thing. If you're Laporte.
