shin splints

i can't believe the weekend's over already... i don't really feel like i had one, as most of it passed by with me more or less dazed and with a serious headache. i think i'm just stressed because i don't really have any reason to be.

the kid and i went jogging today - i really needed that.
on the way out we were waiting at a red light, and i kept enough eye-contact with a cute girl coming the other way that she got confused, and her friend had to remind her to change direction - we all got a good laugh out of that :D

i was getting some good exercise until we reached the painful ending, and then we slowly hobbled back (along the promenade, quite nice actually). luckily, it began improving when we closed in on our apartment, and i've been good since.

spot made excellent spaghetti bolognaise, and we had a serious tekken session to go with the coffee afterwards. the rest of my afternoon was consumed by fallout 2 and heroes; the differences now that i've patched the former are pronounced, and the latter just keeps getting better.

gmail just came to the rescue - i've finally moved over all my university mail (and that didn't take too long), so i can stop being irritated by the intolerable volume of spam. i've finally outgrown the account that's been my "base" since i immigrated.

magist and his flatmate arrived, and we just came back from great sushi (right next door, too) and absolutely fantastic sorbet ice-cream (guava and strawberry). it's now most definitely past my bedtime.
