I’ve got two invites to sign up for a wordpress.com blog. If you want ‘em, come and ask for ‘em.

119 Kilograms

Booyah. Cracked the 120 kilogram barrier. I’m now eating breakfast after after my walk to work, and that seems to be working better for me.

I’ve also got myself a pedometer. Black Julie from the Town Hall and I were supposed to be having a competition to see who can get the most steps in a week, so I’ve been walking myself stupid. Yesterday I walked from North Melbourne to Prahran and back (~20,000 steps) and today I walked along the river to Punt Road and back past the MCG (~15,000 steps). Apparently my daily goal should be 10,000 steps, so I’ve done pretty well for myself.

Unfortunately, Julie “forgot” to wear hers, and she doesn’t think she can participate in the competion now that she’s leaving soon. I say she’s chickening out now that she realises how obsessed with the walking thing I am.

The Drunkest Man In North Melbourne, nay, The World

Apparently, I was quite drunk on Thursday night. I’ll have to take everyone’s word for it as I don’t remember too much after getting the Taxi to the Jawa Bar. I remember the work barbeque, I remember the very boozy little bottles of champagne I got stuck into once I ran out of CC & Drys, and I remember the big glasses of bourbon I gulped down at my boss’ place, but I don’t remember too much after that.

The next day I did front up for work. It was horrible.

Superannuation

The Commonwealth Bank doesn’t want my superannuation anymore. They’ve shut my fund to new applicants and anyone who changes jobs.

For now, I’m switching to an MLC fund, but I’m considering putting my hard-earned into one of those crazy ethical funds. Of course, the hard part about this is doing the research…

New westernbulldogs.com.au

They’ve redesigned the Western Bulldogs site, and I reckon it looks fantastic (well, compared to the old site, it looks fantastic). Shame about the layout of the content–the “Broadband Features” on the right there is basically an ad for Telstra BigPond.

~123 kilograms

I’m getting very, very frustrated. I’ve been working hard. I’ve been careful about what I eat. I’ve been walking to work just about every day (I’ve even started taking detours through the city; my walk home is taking me around an hour now). All of this has been to no avail–I just can’t seem to get below 120 kilograms. I’ve been hovering between 120 and 125 for months now.

Personally, I think it’s because I’ve started eating breakfast, but everyone I ask about it seems pretty adamant that eating breakfast is a good idea. Maybe I should leave home without having breakfast, then eat some fruit when I get into the office? Or is it important that I eat breakfasty foods? I’ve never been good with the idea that particular foods are only for particular meals. Cold pizza for breakfast, Coco Pops for dinner, ice cream sundaes for lunch… wait, this is how I got into this mess in the first place, isn’t it?

Anonymous Comments

Turns out that none of my hundereds of readers could leave a comment, even if they wanted to. So now they can–anonymous comments for all!

Little Milo Moog

Neil’s missus Rachael gave birth to Milo Jay Moog last night this morning. Weighed in at 10 pounds and is 59 centimetres tall, which is pretty big apparently. Either way, congratulations to all.

George W. Bush in Freefall

I’m not overly political, but this is a lot of fun.
