With the beginning of a new week I thought I'd round out the last.

New Toys
I found a voucher for Everything Linux that I received in my bag at LCA this year. I had a look at their webiste and bought a vi reference mug, an O'Reilly pocket book on vi, some crappy gum and a half golf-ball USB iPod holder thingo.

For my running I bought a heart rate monitor, which I've talked about already. I'm loving it!

Today I bought an MSI Mega DJ. Sounds pretty impressive, hey. It's a device that plugs into the cigarette lighter in your car and you plug your iPod or other audio device into. It has two USB plugs, one for the iPod and one for the FM transmitter. It then charges the iPod and broadcasts the iPod's audio on one of four FM channels. The sound is good, considering my poor stereo and lack of antenna.

Exercise
I started the week with a run on Tuesday. We were in a big group and went from Rich and Dan's place out to the Burswood golf course and back. It took us just over 40 minutes and we did about 6km.

On Thursday I did the same run again, after a gym session. Later that night I also had soccer!

Yesterday a bunch of us went and played Red and Blue (ask Rich about it - it's like hockey but better :) and then climbed a wall. The idea was to get everyone from the bottom to the top and we did it. We all have ideas on what to do next, which is planned for the 13th of August. It was stacks of fun.

Today I went for a run in the hills from my folk's place into Kalamunda and back. On the way back, about 1km from the finish, my shiins were hurting again so I walked the rest. I hope this is just because my body's not used to so much exercise. I also went to the gym for a 30 minute workout in the afternoon after lunch at my parent's.

Movies
Saturday night I watched the Family Guy movie with Mags. It was great hearing the characters swear.

Tonight I watched The Fantastic Four. I thought the dude from The Shield who plays Ben Grimm/The Thing was well cast, but the film wasn't very deep. It was what I expected, and was a bit of fun.
