Vic 2 Van, part 2 - Royal Victorian (Half) Marathon - Pre

Less then a half an hour to my first 1/2 marathon. The weather is forecast to be "pissy" with occasional bouts of "shittiness".

I hope I'm up to this.

Vic 2 Van, part 3 - Royal Victorian (Half) Marathon - Post

Success! On the order of 2:05. I'll know the exact time when they post the race results.

The weather improved greatly - it stopped raining before I left the building, it was cool without being cold. The sun came out halfway through the race. I actually achieved runner's high the last Km of the race.

Thank you to Ms. 5624, without whom I wouldn't have had nearly so strong a finish.

And thank you to mallt for the bandaid suggestion - my nipples have never been better!

Could Have Been Much Worse

Spilled coke on my laptop. Managed to completely miss the keyboard and any other part with access to the inside.

Brief Surrealism From Cowtown

A conversation with WJ:

"So when were you going to tell me about the party at [name withheld in case the party is not public knowledge]'s place?", she asked.
"What are you talking about? What party?" says I.
"Wait. Are you in Victoria?"
"Vancouver actually, but I was in Victoria a few hours ago."

The sound of multiple people laughing (who are not WJ) is heard from the other end of the line.

"You fuckers", says WJ to the unseen laughing people

It seems our Ms WJ was taken in by the likes of stephtopia and garething.

In other news, WJ begins almost all phone conversations with me by asking what I'm wearing. I told her "clothes" but I was lying. Specifically I was lying in the bathtub.
