Gaming + Gym
by Shaun Johnston on Dec.01, 2009, under Diary
Starting to warm to l4d2 now after having a pretty fun multiplayer vs. last night. It’s so much better playing with friends than randoms. I am liking the originality and thought that has gone into some of the achievements too.
Started running at the gym again last night. Managed 2.5km with no real effort, 1.5km of that on a 6 degree incline and 1km on flat. Ankle was fine. Did most of the walking between 6 and 16 degrees. Burned 315 calories in half an hour – I can smash that I’m sure! Just need to watch the ankle.
Keen on starting to ride to work again once we move office. Indications are the shower facilities there are much better than here!
Sundays

Day thus far: Waking up at an ungodly hour then rolling over and denying consciousness for an hour or so, then getting up, internetting on my eeepc til the bus was due, then bussing into the city and enjoying french toast with strawberries and a macchiato, then bussing again to Dave’s at Red Hill, before going to Virginia BCF to pick up a nice light tent, a sleeping bag rated to -5 degrees, and a camping chair. Incidentally I’m now a member of the BCF club so I guess I’m really Australian now or something. Then we stopped off at Treacle for lunch, where I had a rather nice chicken & vegetable pie with salad, and a decaf iced mocha. Bloody lovely. Finally home, attempting to bask in a breeze after a tepid shower.

Some recent shots taken using my Canon 450D tethered to my eeepc, mounted on my 100-1000x magnification microscope!

Last weekend smigit, jeze and myself decided to try our hand at making some sushi rolls. It went very well, all things considered!
