It's gonna rain, and it never ends

Just went to the gym. This shitty rainy weather has continued, and doesn't look like it will stop, possibly ever. Just about to start work. Sigh. I worked last night too, this hobo guy was hanging around. George Orwell couldn't describe a hobo like this. He had the stick, the sack, all the equipment of a hobo, and a big fuck off beard.

He was hanging around for ages, but there was no way I was going to check him in. At one stage he pointed his fingers at me like a gun and said "pew pew" just like a little kid does. I saw him again in the street when I was walking here, I hope not to see him this evening.

Actually, there were a lot of crazies in my day yesterday, we went to get chips at the shops, this guy came up and pleaded if he could have a chip. Francisca said she saw him later on, sleeping at the bus station. We ended up seeing this band The Trivs playing at Transit. Apparently it was their last show. They sound exactly like every other band that's been played on triple j in the last 5 years. Not interested. I really wasn't in the mood either.

Francisca's friend Christian is staying with us, they went to see a movie at the Film Archive. He is from Germany, but he lives in Japan. Francisca goes over to Japan in a few weeks. If things go to plan I will go to San Fran for under $1000. I saw flights for $975, they could well get cheaper?

It was good to go to the gym, I think that's going to be my session that kickstarts me back into it. Today I did

5min walk @ 8km/h
10 push ups/5 chin ups x 3
10 situps, 10 situps with a turn each way
10 leg raises, not sure what they're called
5x (throw ball against wall (6kg), 10 squats with ball, 5 x jump over box (4 blocks high)
3 laps of the equipment with 2 x 15kg weights
10 leg lifts on the contraption- legs straight out
10 dips
10 mins bike, stretches

So just over an hour, I think it was a solid session to get back into it. This week I'll try and go quite a few days, gotta get my money's worth from the membership.

work, strange people, fitness, gym, friends, travel
