I have water in my ear canal. I'm assuming it's left over from swimming. It's pissing me off.

Grrr.

Communism

When Mimi returned from China, she brought with her a windup Chairman Mao alarm clock, which she then gave to me. It's awesome. Mao's hand waves as the seconds tick. It is a truly awesome clock. The only issue is the alarm function.

I went swimming this morning, and so last night I set the alarm for 0510. This morning, the alarm went off... at 0445.

Score at the end of round 1: communism 1, sleep 0.

You win this round, chairman.

Chemical Warfare

The odour of chlorine oozing from my pores is driving me slightly loopy.

Here's why: I've been swimming for a total of 4.5 hours this week, and I already smell like the pool.

I hate to think of what I'll smell like by the end of the month.

On the upside, 4.5 hours later and I'm pretty much back to the standard I was at in March when I stopped swimming for the winter (and because I cbf getting up in the mornings because I'd stay up mad late doing homework...but I digress). But again, that's not saying much. Because I suck numerous five-pronged demon wangs (talk to any of the people in my year 11 English class. That's the last time I bring up medieval texts on witchcraft.) at sprints.

Swimming

Today I went back to swim training in a desperate attempt to expedite the speed in which I get over jet lag.

Holy shrieking expletives it was painful.

In other news, I'm pretty much hooked on True Blood after watching the two episodes of it QANTAS happened to have on their entertainment database.
