07:47 pm - Is this thing on?
It's just dawned on me that I leave the country in around 24 hours and don't get back until the week after next. I'm suddenly really nervous. (Work trip, not holiday).
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiit.

09:03 am - Oh right... this thing
I can't recall if I mentioned this to more than a few of you but I'll soon be the editor of the Official Xbox magazine locally. I'm swapping Nintendo for it. Nice huh? Anyway, I'm off to San Fran for work this weekend – if I get free time does anyone have any recommendations for places to go?

01:14 pm - Like Lazarus, deadlift Friday returns!
It's been a while since I've done any heavy lifting weights wise, so first day back in months I was pretty chuffed to smash the last PB by cranking out 3 reps at 150kg.
Then my lower back gave way.
After the blinding pain had faded we moved on to rack pulls on the idea it would possiblly hurt less. It did! It's kinda the top part of a deadlift – you lift from the squat rack and return to the rack, so there's less range of movement. It's the straighten and shoulders back part. Never done 'em before but they rock and because it's limited range you can really smash some cool weight. I topped out at 200kg this session and I'm hoping to get that to 250kg before the end of the program.
Anyway, return to your business.

05:11 pm - Question for the BBQ chef
I was in the gym at lunchtime, as is my wont, and I happened to look up at one of the many, many screens dotted around (also my wont). It was a Kanye West track (a little less wonted) and I was actually rather stunned to see that they'd censored the n-word during the track – a word that happened to be a rather major part of said song. (The track was Gold Digger to give you an idea of how often this particular word comes up).
So, riddle me this internet: if Kanye West can't use the n-word, then who in the name of dear fuck actually can!?

I still own an El Jay don't I? I knew I was forgetting something!
Well – here's a weird dream from last week: I beat the shit out of Benjamin Sisko from Deep Space 9 because he interrupted me while I was praying to Mecca during one of his briefings. I even stabbed him under his armpit with a futuristic looking pen.
Apparently, in my dreams, I'm a very devout space muslim.
I'm okay with this.

They've announced the follow up to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It's Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.
And they've made a trailer for it:

Why, when police are actively looking for two men in regard to the recent Moran Murder, would the faces of the released IDENTIKITS be pixelated?
Colour me confused...

I'm back, I'm exhausted, I got homesick and now I'm so busy I feel ill! But no Hog Flu, I hope, despite a couple of chaps in the customs line ahead of me being dragged out and shot taken upstairs by people wearing masks.
LA is a depressing and filthy city.

10:44 am - If you only click on two YouTube links today...
... make sure click on this one twice. It's the catchiest Czech song about capturing a swamp monster with a crop duster you will ever listen too. And it features some seriously awesome dancing:
