Reaper Minis

Apoem of recent events:

"Davids car broke down,
an awful sight
no transport for our love.

we walked today,
some exercise,
to get icecreams from coles.

essays due
no time, no reason
getting ahead of me.

solstice brings a new change.
rode my bike.
just once around the block
because i was too puffed to do otherwise."

here is two pictures of my latest obsession: i ordered 80 dollars worth from an American site.
i guess this means i am a real nerd now :)

P.S: they are like little mini war hammer figurines but a different game-y thing
you just hand paint them however you like.. like U-Paint but on a smaller scale!

over and out :0

fitness take 2

What can i say, some days i feel like a born loser.
This week is no exception. I had a gym membership... And, like all things that i start i go hacks for a month or so, then petter out into nothingness. I spent 300 big ones on a good gyms membership, only to end up not going in the last month of it.. Oh, sure i can use excuses to back up my reasons, but i know that in reality its all down to laziness. I didn't want it enough.- but like the fool that i am, I always say it doesn't matter, that i have a better plan, so... while that plan forms in my head i neglect the last plan and etc, etc in a never ending cycle of destruction. I know i shouldn't beat myself up over it, many people don't take to gyms- and i know a few people who let their memberships lapse... But i wanted to write it here.. so i can remember for myself- and so some of you can prod me to move my ass when you see i am flagging again!
On this same topic i went on a school excursion the other day, the final component of which was a climb up a hill... I was the last one up the hill.. and for a long shot too.. seriously like ten minutes after the rest of the group had climbed it i finally made it to the top and by golly did it hurt, not just physically but mentally.
So... I bought a helmet the other day. Its purple and silver and pretty. yep, you guessed it, my new pursuit is bike riding. It worked once when i was living with Bernardo (when i didnt have the naughty David shoulder imp saying bad things in my ear: e.g. FRAPPPPPPPPEEEEEEE)and i have decided to do this alone. I am not setting a goal thats unattainable, (like my lose 30kilos in 6months gym deal) but something broad. The official label is "just be healthy"- No crazy four-times-weekly-only-eat anything-green-plan... I am going to allow myself some leeway- a little bit- like, coffeees on wednesdays for uni, and when i meet up with my fave girls; dinner out only once a week maximum- and choose the healthy option- cut down on meat, and increase my vegie intake to 80% of my daily food( which i am proud to say i have been doing pretty good at) but keeping my goals to a cyclic and easier to manage area. :)
Tegan has volunteered to be my wing captain and go with me, which is excellent as she has an awesome bike track close to her house! so yeah like i said earlier...
This is my new plan of attack. Riding, riding towards freedom... and hopefully i will stick with it.

P.s i just read over this and i realise its all crazy eccentric all over the place weird sentances... but really...meh.
