Went for a coffee (me!) after work, mostly because I wanted to get something done - not really possible at home.
I have discovered why I’ve spent 26 years not drinking coffee, I was jittery, yeah, that didn’t work for me.
posted by OmarIt’s an epidemic. It can strike anyone. It begins harmlessly enough… maybe with a cell phone, an online social network profile, or an IM. But before long, the electronic screens invade every corner of your life.
There’s a name for this tragic and extremely annoying condition: Screen Addiction.
But there is hope. Send an intervention to someone you care about! Help them take the first step towards recovery.
The song and animations are just lovely.
(The song is The Real Tuesday Weld - Blood Sugar Love and the refrain is Life is good when you’re filled with blood, life is good when you’re filled with love”.)

Saw a few children starting school today, stood at the bus stop with their parents. It was a just nice. In a very future-type-way, I am looking forward to having kids - though if, as babies they are like I was it’ll be hard work.
First day of school tomorrow, meeting the new children, finding out how we’ll all start to get on. I wasn’t sure, I still feel a little overwhelmed by all the things I need to keep track of. It’s not that they are all had, it’s just so many tiny little things.
In any case, I’m excited. I think.
posted by OmarWent to circuits today for the first time in 7 weeks. It would appear I’m not too out of shape. Today was legs and abs and involved lots of lunges (approximately 300 now that I think about it).
It was crunches, get ups (kneel down and then stand up), plank, lunges, weighted squats, single leg squat, up and over a step box, bike, lunges, sit ups, a rolling ab exercise, dead lifts, dead bugs (lie on back with exercise ball between hands and legs, lower and raise opposite hand/leg), squats with weights over head, sit ups, one-legged stand up, lunges > repeat.
It was awesome. If I could do that class three times a week, I’d be quite happy with that. It’s just a shame that no one goes, even if it is a Sunday. Next week is upper body and will involve lots of running! Sweet.
Though I did eat the skin off the chicken I had for tea, oops.
Edit: it’s the next day and my legs hurt, plus the one time I have difficulty getting out of bed is the last day of the holiday!
posted by OmarWell, to start with. All the music on my iPod I don’t listen too. Shuffle has been a revelation.
Hypemachine - it aggregates music blogs. Still working it out but their radio, plays random songs and is nice for a change. Glass Candy - Candy Castle
My new radio. I mean it’s just different to listening to it on the computer (not really a fan). Golden Silver - Arrows of Eros
Bonus - http://hypem.com/track/623174/MGMT-Kids+(Soulwax+Nite+Version)+(256k) - which is amazing. Please give it 45 seconds of your time.
Currently have Does it Offend You Yeah? - Dawn of the Dead on repeat. It was played on 6Music this morning.
