ARGH!! Just completely wiped out in a mud puddle around the corner. Took a layer of skin off my knee, dirtied my jeans, landed hard. I’m a GROWN ASS WOMAN. Eventually I should grow out of stuff like that, right?! OW OW OW.
For the linguistics nerds: “stack it” means to crash or fall in Australian slang.
Me: “Snookums, would you say I stacked it last night?”
Him: “Oh, you TOTALLY stacked it.”
Why I like Bejeweled: According to this study of female gamers, it’s because I like simple controls, bright colours, and social competition. While I maintain that makes me sound like a BIRD or something… it’s probably right. (Link courtesy of the Snook.)
Rope Patterned Cement Wall by Dani Marti. Neat! This wall is actually in Sydney on the base of Centerpoint Tower on Market Street. I remember seeing the hoarding come off several weeks ago, and I actually stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the wall. My first thought was that it was knitting, but upon consideration I could see that it was woven. I had no idea what technique was used to create it. It’s very cool.
This was a pretty good week for running! We had a houseguest all week so I wasn’t sure whether I’d get in my runs, but luckily Eileen went with me for all three of them. She also pushed me on my pace a bit, which really made me feel the fitness I’ve lost since the Half-Marathon. My right foot hasn’t been bothering me too much. I can still feel a difference from my left foot, but there’s hardly any pain. It’s actually kind of frustrating, because I have no idea what’s prompted the improvement! I guess I shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. I also managed a session at Spudds on Wednesday, which has left me feeling pretty sore…
July 4: 7.44km
July 6: 5.48km
July 8: 5.50km
Total this week: 18.42km (11.5mi)
Total in 2010: 507.58km (317.2mi)
I have finally crossed the half-way point in my goal to run 1000km in 2010! I should be at 519km right now, so I’m about 11.5km behind. My weekend runs are going to start slowly extending though, so I should make it up over the next few months. The only danger is my three-week vacation to the U.S. looming on the horizon. I’m going to have to work to get the runs in.

On my way to M&S finally. Is this week over yet?
Piping hot carbs, fat, aioli, and beer. The cure for a cold winter’s night. http://twitpic.com/23fgxp
Congrats to @kunaal84 on winning the squash championship!
Such a huge day, a dozen things on my To Do list, and yet here I stand, still waiting on a bus that’s 15min late.

No girly Harley T-shirts, unless you want a strappy tank top! I got a pretty cool retro 70s style for you though, almost like a ringer T. Light brown with Harley logo and a kangaroo. (But I can get the tank top if you prefer!)
I should not be allowed to listen to the Garden State soundtrack at work. I’m all melancholy now.
Ohmygod. The vajazzling gallery is online: http://bit.ly/9ulx25 I’m serious. I actually work with 2 of those women. ABJECT HORROR, FOLKS.

Just completed a 5.50 km run with RunKeeper – Pretty good! Foot feels okay, actually.

Congrats and to many more 🙌🏽
My home economics teacher taught us to use “J cloths” as press cloths. (Cellulose cleaning cloths). The upside of using…
