i like butter, don't you?

I’ve been busy with work and other bits, but here are highlights from the past two months.

• I saw the Wellington Phoenix win a few games
• I ran seven kilometers in the Wellington Round the Bays and finished in 34:32, which is about 8 minutes per mile
• I attended Webstock with my colleagues. It was inspiring and my favorite speakers were Shelley Bernstein and John Resig
• Last week I weighed 60.1 kilograms, or 132 pounds. I’m close to my fat goal. Soon I will be in a permanent fattened state
• I’m consistently winning cash in poker tournaments. I’ve placed second, third and fourth in 180 player tourneys
• I had my first bloody nose. It was scary
• Xero Personal was released this week. I love it, you should check it out

Last weekend Louie was in Wellington on a holiday. Our worlds are so different.

“They have 2 pound cocktails in London,” she says.

I look at her in disbelief. How do they measure that? Can someone drink two pounds of alcohol? How many liters is that? Alcoholics.

I say, “Are you serious? That’s almost a kilogram.”

She looks at me like I’m an idiot. “Two British pounds. They’re cheap, not heavy.”
