So, last night I had a talk to my two meter's about scandinavian architecture, middle eastern restaurants in east Brunswick and breaking up. It was all very civilized, no strong emotions or passions, interesting to see the similarities with the relationship..

Today I went swimming after work and then got complimented by a straight guy for my torso while having dinner. Very odd.



How awesome is this little dog:

Movember

By the way, I'm doing movember, mustache growing month. Meaning me looking like Burt F'n Reynolds meets pedo bear meets Ned Flanders for the last three weeks all for the sake of mens prostates and free burgers at Grill'd. Apparently I am passionate about tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer. I'm doing it for the burgers.

Donate online using your credit card or PayPal account to help the cause.

Suggestions to mo-designs are welcome as the last couple of days people have been literally folding at the hip or sprawling on the floor in laughter when they see me. Or asking me to say something that Ned would say.. Okily dokily.

Hi-diddly-ho!

Have some imported Japanese banana cake, with a complimentary non-edible oxygen removing sachet..




So the other day I accidentally came to read a text message on my boyfriend's cell phone from one of his best friends which has had me basically trying to break this going-nowhere-and-doing-so-slowly relationship since. I should have confronted him straight away of course, which I was too shocked to do, and after a bit of consoling retail therapy it just seemed too late. Damned nice jeans and an awesome top though, in retrospect.

It just feels so empty when you realize that a person whom you've devoted the better of four months to doesn't even respect you and as of late is mainly burrowing himself in work and making up excuses not to see you. Enough on that topic, I've been over it for too long already and can't be bothered to elaborate. All I need is a quick fix to break this chain that's been tying me down too long. And the actual coinciding of these two ships in the night as we're mainly outside shouting distance.. Telling someone that you feel inadequate and redundant and that the both of you will probably be better off with another prefix than 'relation' to the 'ship' (though at the moment I can't see much future in even having any kinds of relations..) is something that I don't want to do in any other form than in person.

Other news.. Finally I got my computer back from repairs; Apple took their sweet 5 weeks of time repairing it, and I gave them some pretty interesting feedback scores in their web survey. As if they'll care anyhow. It's quite fascinating to see how absorbed and dependent I really was of this machine. Without it I actually was getting up at six in the morning and going to the gym, feeling fresh and great. First day back and it's already 2AM. I know this situation just all too well..

I've also just got four more days left at work before heading to Japan for two weeks and then home to Norway for five awesome weeks of holidays..! I'm so excited I might've soiled my pants. I'll try and visit some family friends in Hiroshima, but not sure if I'll be able to make it all the way there. trying to find some bullet trains now, apparently it takes about five hours or so on to hiroshima, 894.2km's from Tokyo. Not that crazily impressive high speed as the French TGV i caught about ten years ago did 310k's an hour, but still - good name for a train.

I've also been one week in Tassie, or Tasmania, bicycling for the last week with a friend from the office. Beautiful nature, lots of roadkill and plenty of head wind. Good to get to know people in a situation outside the office environment, particularly people who you have conversations you feel challenge you and make you consider your own standings as a man. In the highly rare unlikelihood that he should come across this blog; thanks R-train for an awesome trip, you pretty much made my year! (Japan still to come though, you're up for some competition..)

Love your local train station:
