completely anaerobic

lethargic? no. gym was hardcore, and neither of us can believe that we haven't been doing this properly the entire half year that we've been signed up.

i think it was particularly difficult for me because i don't usually breathe normally, so i don't really get enough oxygen even when i'm focusing on proper technique.

i didn't quite finish because i got a bit dizzy, but my noodle-arms are already feeling better and the only thing bothering me is my neck, which i mentioned earlier. i'm also glad i didn't do any legwork, because i'm already paying for yesterday's crimes :)

we've watched all but the last two episodes of how i met your mother, which has taken a couple of rather dramatic turns but still hits good (the x-box joke took a second to sink in).

we took a break to get ice-cream, and i tried waking our neighbour with a tennis ball to her window so she'd join us: this was totally unappreciated and i really upset her, and i felt awful. the kid hit upon a good idea - to apologize to her with half a kilo of her favourite ice-cream, but she hasn't responded to the invitation yet :S

we watched a history of violence, a beautifully made comic book movie that totally flew below my radar. i really enjoy a good story told well. and the romantic bits weren't soppy.

we've just done the last of the shopping, now to close the packing and get out of here.
