Today was not a good day as far as hurting myself goes. I was getting a box of gloves, which were under another box, and said box was a lot heavier than I realized when I was moving it. The corner of the box did a nice number on my face. Had to ice it and fill out a little incident form thing. :/ I didn't think it was that bad but it still hurts... I think I bruised my cheek bone.
And then a co-worker and I were making eclairs, and you have to cut the shell in half to fill it with custard. She cut her finger doing it. Maybe 5 minutes later I cut my thumb. Just not a good day for injuries! On top of the random bruises that are multiplying across my body, I think I'm falling apart.

Kicked back and played some Mario Kart Wii for the first time in a while. It was fun. :)

This is not a good picture, but the only one I took.

We listed his old sidekick on ebay, sold within 2 minutes of listing. Nice.

Allergies are ridiculous. Because everything is blooming now since the seasons are screwed up, it's like springtime all over again. And the allergy medicine you can get OTC does absolutely nothing. :(

New words that piss me off:...

- billennia: crappy popular science writer shorthand for "billions of years". Derived from a fundamental misunderstanding of how many years there are in a millennium.

Okay, that's the only one I can think of right at this second, but I'm sure there are others that I've purged from memory that I'll edit back in later.

It's still uncomfortably hot, but it's supposed to cool down tomorrow. Today after work my legs broke out in itchy hives. I think it was allergy related. It was not pleasant, that's for sure.

Right now I'm watching the men's 4x100m medley relay on the Canadian station, because they are amazing and show swimming at 8 pm, instead of 4 in the morning like the US station (I watched the Phelps butterfly race last night [live] and then watched it "live" on the US station this morning.) Right now the US is winning because they are amazing.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Michael Phelps has won 8 medals!! How exciting!! :)

It's still really hot.

Also, Michael Phelps is my hero.

I don't know why I even bother making friends with some people... makes me wonder what they really thought of me to begin with.

3 weeks.

Stomach is hurting and it's too hot and I'm very tired, even though I have done nothing today. Early work days for the next 4 days, woo hoo.

Went home and hung out with our good friend Dan. Went out to dinner, watched some Office while playing Nintendo Monopoloy. Lost horribly. It was fun. Very hot though.

The Olympics started and the freaky Chinese alphabet made me stay until late to watch the Mexican delegation to pass almost at the end. Apparently the order is based on the number of strokes of the last symbol of the name of the country, or some sort of that.

By the way, I just read in Slashdot that some fireworks in the opening ceremony were actually computer generated.  Oh China, we love you because you’ve mastered the art of faking :). Oh, a bit of black humour: how the Beijing 2008 was actually created.

Note to my Chinese friends: China is a great country no offence intended.

Note to my non-Chinese friends: Offence intended.

Lewis was tired. We were watching the Olympics. The US men's team winning the 400m freestyle relay was quite possibly the most exciting thing ever.

The stats from MacFest '08 day 1...

A short breakdown on the people with stalls:

• Christian groups (primarily prosperity-preaching evangelicals): 40%
• Nationality-based groups: 30% (There are some overlaps, such as the Chinese Catholic Students Association, but these stats were never going to be terribly precise)
• Other religious groups: 2% (I think I saw the jewish students group somewhere)
• Charitable groups (eg. Amnesty, Cancer Council, Macquarie students who want to help the starving children in Africa (yeah, they didn't have an acronym)): 10%
• Clubs based on choice of major (eg. economics students association): 10%
• Actual clubs for hobbies or social activities (eg. role-playing society, dramac): 8%

I feel old and unwelcome. Even the clubs I used to have membership of don't seem to be there anymore. Now if only our corporate overlords had shown up, there might have been some free food to scab. But I'm assured they'll be there tomorrow, so there may yet be ramen for Catherine.
