The Challenge Rambles and riff raff about all this and that

A couple of pics…

Got back home a couple of hours ago, downloaded a batch of pictures from the camera. There are some nice shots, but I still need to sort them out. Either way I thought I'd share 2 of them here and now. You can click on them to go to flickr and see the description n' stuff.

Rambles and Riff Raff vol. 3

Last week was one of the hardest ever. This time work provided shelter for "other stuff", something I could focus on while trying to keep the head above the water.Infamous unordered list follows.

  • Voices is really taking off. I need to write a piece on why it is the right play at the right moment and nuder the right circumstances.
  • Next week I'll be on a vacation; good news is that it has recently snowed at Bariloche.
  • Inertia is the most idiotic of all principles. I'm under the feeling that I have been acting in such way for too long. I need to apply a lateral force somewhere to alter the direction of things.
  • Olympic observation #1: I hate short-lived direct elimination sports. The fact that people train an entire life to "act" for about 9 minutes and then head back home (as in Judo or Fencing) disturbs me.
  • Olympic Observation #2: sports I'm interested in don't get TV time...
  • Olympic Observation #3: the fact that some sports are Olympic and that squash isn't bugs the hell out of me.
  • The body can sustain massive amounts of abuse. The mind can too, but side effects are nastier.
  • Even in the worst circumstances good stuff can surface. That is what keeps us sane.
  • When shit happens, it goes all the way!
