Uncomfortably Numb

Wednesday, 16 April 2008 1:33 A GMT+12
So I was sitting there talking to my Dad on MSN earlier, when shortly after commenting he hadn't dislocated his hip for awhile (long story) he goes silent, then follows up with "just dislocated the hip... calling ambulance": Initially I just paused

karting and bowling

Saturday, 14 July 2007 11:41 P GMT+12
This might explain part of the agony I'm currently feeling: Stiff legs, bruises, sore neck (karting isn't supposed to be a contact sport right?) - after the racing we (work mates) headed off for 10 Pin Bowling where I prompted felt the tendon in t

An old coworker just pointed me to Bikely - a new(ish) website for sharing your bike rides with the world. I've just entered my old regular ride from Onehunga to Mangere Bridge that I used to ride often when living off Church Street. Mmmm - I mig

Worst half second ever

Monday, 18 July 2005 11:16 P GMT+12
My parents were up in Auckland prior to flying out to England for a holiday, so I took them over to my brother and his wife's new house for dinner.  The meal was an tasty home cooked roast, the fireplace was blazing with a warm fire, the rain outsid

New riding record...

Saturday, 2 October 2004 1:00 P GMT+12
Almost trippled the distance for my not-as-frequent as they should be rides today, 13.8km in approx. 45mins. It also seems like I'll be remaining in this house after it sells, which is great as I won't need to pack anything, but it also means

Sunday Morning Ride

Sunday, 26 September 2004 5:38 P GMT+12
So spring's really here and the sun was out in all her glory this morning, so instead of just sleeping in I decided to take the bike out for a ride around the Mangere Bridge waterfront. Starting from [1] and heading out to [2], over to [3], al

So this weeks Weight Watchers "homework" was to endevour to do 10 minutes more exercise each day one would normally do, so what does a metal loving freak like me do? Aerobics Air Guitar Style - loaded up the new Exodus album "Tempo of the Dammed" bl

Downsizing...

Thursday, 8 April 2004 8:48 A GMT+12
Mmmm, downsizing - and no, it's nothing to do with work this time. So I ran out of clean pants this morning, after some hunting I found a old pair packed away, a little crumpled and creased but no major, till I found the lack of a button - PANIC!!!!

Weight Watchers...

Thursday, 11 March 2004 4:25 P GMT+12
So I missed last weeks meeting, and I've been to several BBQ's lately, and I ran out of food in the freezer, and have getting home late a bit lately, and have had probably one too many curries this last week... I knew things would be bad, and it was

I feel so naughty...

Both yesterday and today have been raining non-stop down here in Napier - so much for going out and getting some cycling or photography done. Tonight was pouring down and even though I had everything here, I just couldn't be bothered cooking, tempat

Christmas Parties are evil :(

Thursday, 18 December 2003 12:25 P GMT+12
Staff Christmas party at the Mexican Cafe in town, and numerous bars and tequila shots, mixed with a variety of end-of-year staff pub lunches, mixed with a pre-curry TNC curry last night, and I'm up 500g this week. Grrr. Still, could have been wors
