Woah where'd you get a wiifit for $110?

[ittykat]

Work. I got it at cost. That said it's not expensive anyway at work. $120 I think? Maybe $130.

What happened to that evolution assignment you were doing? It sounded pretty cool.

Also, I'm kind of really impressed with your fitting fitness into your life. Wii fit, netball, swimming. I think you win a whole more than a lot of people on this front.

That was done on Thursday and handed in. It was pretty cool! I hesitate saying I was proud of it purely because if I say that then I'll get a terrible mark for it, because that is the way of life.

And yeah, I'm really making an effort. The hard part isn't actually going out and exercising for me though. It's more trying not to eat shit and eat healthy, and trying to keep my eating the same with the extra exercise. That hasn't been going so well lately, but it's the next thing I'm putting the effort into.

Mmm, that is hard. I only really have trouble with that when I'm out... The whole shopping for myself thing means I can make sure there's no sugary or fatty foods in the house.

I've got to get better with asking for skim milk in coffees (I taste little difference), and choosing better options when I'm eating out with other people. Sometimes foods have got to live up to their namesake though, havene they? :P

We play tennis now every weekend :D

And sometimes we go for a run afterward. Only sometimes.

That does indeed sound like a good day. Although you now have me thinking how to spend my tax return, which I really shouldn't. Good luck with the netball.

Thanks! Don't spend it all. Try and save! Even I'm going to try and do that.

I was thinking of you and Jenni today at work. We had two ladies and a teen-aged boy from Australia come through. They were very nice, but I couldn't give them my tour properly because the hobbit-troll-man kept sabotaging (that's what we call it when another interpreter keeps interrupting and taking over) my interpretation. He kept going on and on about the similarities between aborigines and the Powhatan Indians and then he starting going on about Crocodile Dundee...it was distressing. I really felt bad for them because they were really cool and didn't deserve that. They came all this way too!

[ittykat]

Jenny. All we think about is Crocodile Dundee and how we can aspire to be more like him.

Dur.

I'm spending most of the weekend on assignments (except we're going to the Multicultural Festival for a bit tomorrow), but you know, I'm looking forward to it. I'm starting my last programming assignments, which means I get to play around with stuff. Plus, programming is more instant-gratification than essay-writing. You know when it works. And it's sure satisfying when it does!

Have a good weekend yourself! Enjoy your new games - Wii Fit is awesome, and I'm sure Lego Indy is great - I'm a big fan of Lego Star Wars :)

Lego games are awesome!
