I’m just looking forward to running with the Dog again and losing the vast amount of weight I’ve put on this year. Weekly Twitter weigh-ins!
Running gear ordered. Blood tests posted. According to my doctor I’m finally rid of the glandular fever that has plagued me though-out 2010.

Its winter, and I’m meant to be loosing the weight gained over summer. But instead of running, I’ve spent today gawking at unnecessary gear.
Just watched the Blackpool v. Man City game from Sunday. Wow! The best game of football I’ve seen in a long, long time. Phenomenal.

But, fuck man, I miss the guy. No one ‘got’ 21st Century problems like he did.
He sadly hanged himself in 2008.
Give David Foster Wallace a paragraph and he’ll give you a reason and a passion to live. Ironically.
Nicely designed too! They also achieve the perfect balance between commissioning new pieces & digging out old ones. http://yfrog.com/n5v4hej

I wonder if the Penny University is where the expression “a penny for your thoughts” comes from?
Wow, we need to reintroduce the Penny Universities to London. It seems like a cool idea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_universities
