How the hell do these dudes like Lance Armstrong and Andy Schleck ride like that for 5 hours a day for two weeks straight?

drugsssssssss

That or just being actually fit. Mind you, I'm a fat git and I manage and hour of spinning and then a hilly 12 mile ride home so it can't be that hard. Still, never be afraid of the fake resistance increase in spinning classes if you aren't on for the harsh workout on offer. Rest assured that everyone else is doing it. As for recovery drinks. I swear by chocolate milk. I have it on the good authority of a paramedic that it contains a good balance of sugars, protein, calcium and salts to aid recovering and prevent cramps.

My job application seems to be progressing along pretty nicely. I had a phone interview on Friday for about half an hour which I think went fairly well. Probably as challenging as any actual interview I've ever done and this was just the phone interview...

Had my leaving party on Friday night which was pretty rad. Lots of friends came along, especially some I hadn't seen in ages which made me pretty happy. Had a friend's 21st yesterday so I'm feeling a lot worse for wear. Tonight is the goth night I organise. Should be awesome, hopefully lots of people come, my DJ set goes ok and everything works out. I haven't organised it in a couple of months as I've been sick/recovering from surgery and the other two "organisers" drove it into the ground...

The reality of leaving the country in 2 weeks is beginning to hit me and I'm starting to get fucking terrified. Oh god what am I getting into? (The grandest adventures)

Have you ever seen a professional road cyclist at the end of his career? They all look around 20 years older than they actually are. Same with marathon runners. Me, I'd prefer to not almost destroy my body every day for a career.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before or not but I was just puttering around my mom's Facebook photos and my dad looks like Sam. Like, an awful lot. It's weird.

I took off work yesterday to move into my 1st apartment. It's pretty sweet. As a side effect of that, I missed the end-of-sprint review studio-wide meeting. Not a big deal usually, but this time the head producer told the rest of the studio (160+ people!) to give our department hugs. More specifically they were commending the work my supervisor and I have been doing, along with another group of 3 people. That's actually great news, I'm just a little bummed I wasn't there for it. Couldn't have been a better reason to miss it, though.

Jimmy & Ingelise are staying with me again for a few days! Also I've spent all tonight watching a craptacular miniseries adaptation of the Andromeda Strain from 2008 which is being shown on one of Australia's new digital channels all in one block. If I'd realised before deciding to watch it that, with ads, it would go for three and a half hours, I don't think I'd have bothered with it - and yet somehow I don't regret a minute. I mean, Daniel Dae-Kim just cut off dead Rick Schroder's thumb and threw it up a shaft to Benjamin Bratt so that they could use the thumbprint to shut down the top-secret government lab's self-destruct count-down, for goodness sake! In this version of the story, the Andromeda strain comes from an intergalactic wormhole! A flock of crows is turned homicidal by the infection and attacks and kills a heavily armed group of soldiers! The miniseries was apparently executive produced by both Ridley and Tony Scott. I think the slow-motion music-video style montage of the scientists being decontaminated as they enter the lab was probably mainly executive produced by Tony.

Oh by the way blog thread, I moved house again this weekend, did I tell you? It is nice and cheap and handy and I like it a lot and also my housemates are the best.

However: I did pick the wrong week to move out of an air-conditioned house.

That's not so bad. You've just got to make sure that you keep the curtains in the sunward side closed throughout the day. The humidity will be the worst part and some aircons just make that worse.

nufan · « **Reply #3089 on:** 31 Jan 2011, 06:11 »

I'd say it depends on what the pictures were like, but overall I'd have to say "Yes". If you asked him not to do it and he did anyway that's something akin to a Dick Move, but I'd also say it isn't that simple. Were they drunken pictures, drunken makeout pictures or just going-out-hugging-friends type pictures? There are perfectly legimate reasons for not wanting the first two types there, however the later shouldn't be too bad. Also, you could always de-tag yourself (I assume this is Facebook?) - not perfect but should stop most people finding them.

The Seldom Killer · « **Reply #3090 on:** 31 Jan 2011, 06:13 »

Completely reasonable to be pissed off. If you've expressed a wish for you not to have images of you made public to any degree then there would need to be a very good reason for that wish not to be respected.

Lines · « **Reply #3091 on:** 31 Jan 2011, 06:17 »

If you plainly asked him not to and he did it anyways, then yes, you have the right to be mad. Not everyone likes or wants to have their pictures posted online.

The Seldom Killer · « **Reply #3093 on:** 31 Jan 2011, 07:03 »

True, but he came out as a cyclist years ago. Amazingly enough his house has never been surrounded by illiterate Daily Mail readers yet. Probably won't happen now as they seem to like the gayers these days.
