Okie dok. Let's have a very unbiased look at my life right now.

I have one of them twitchy eye things, you know the one where your eye just won't stop twitching and google is of no help because apparently it happens to everyone and there about a thousand theories that every day Einsteins have as to why it might happen.

Apparently my thesis is still not done and I need another journal article because that's how things roll around here. Too bad I'm still having this love/hate relationship with my whole post-Masters education. We're back to the hate bit, in case that wasn't clear. Actually I'd even say that today is a very negative day, the kind of day you don't want to see anyone, because I'm anti-social from time to time, but alas it's the day that everyone wants to see you.

But hey, those almost-three-weeks in the south were good. I had actually forgotten what high levels of humidity felt like... I was quickly reminded here with 95% and sweating like there is no tomorrow on a short bike ride when it's only 18C. The hand seems better, a month or two and things should be at 100%!

Oh, and how amazing was Vos yesterday? And all the other women in that race. I'd say that this was the highlight of the Olympics, I doubt any other competition can beat the amazing level of that road race... and to say that women's professional cycling still doesn't get even a quarter of the coverage and sponsorship that men's professional cycling does. The men's race was pretty awesome too but the comments/reactions some people had about the finish were rather upsetting because the bashing that Uran got was just not justified. As I said on twitter, imagine being almost a "no one" in cycling (I know, I know, he's Sky and had the white jersey and had tons of other stuff, but relatively speaking he's a no one) with no apparent finishing abilities what-so-ever (again, relatively speaking but Uran has never been known to be a great finisher) going up against Vino, I think a freaking out freeze in a final sprint is more than a possibility. Then again I would make the worst ever hockey mum because I want everyone to win and be nice and everything. And really, the bashing was just plain old mean. And my current self might not be into Vino but I certainly am in love with the idea of my 2005-self being in love with Vino (don't question this, that sentence totally makes sense in my head). And he'll probably be sporting a golden tracksuit as Astana DS next year and that's going to be even freakier than those kits with his face on them. God, those things were things of nightmares.

Just now I also thought that I only watered a tiny bit the one plant that's still alive in my flat since I've been back. I should look into watering it a tad more. Super transition to... some old photos of the other plants that were not dead back in March! Dude, best transition ever or what!
