Tomato & Donkey salad

Once, when i was much younger, and the teacher taught us about fractions, she told us we can't have a tomatoes and donkies salad, in order to clarify the mistery behind different types of fractions and what can be or can't be done with them.

I really try to hang to this teaching, but today it won't be possible, so you'll get a mixed post :).



A couple of days ago, i finished exercising in my backpacker room, and was about to go running, when a guy (later i'll learn his name is antonio, and that he's french) asked me if he can join. I was reluctant at first, since i didn't want to slow down, but for good manners, and since he asked, i said "sure" and waited for him.
Well ... the skinny bastard made me run behind him all the way, and left me well behind on the sprint parts. Of course, being a mature adult, i didn't mind that fact, and even was happy for him pulling me to my limits, but, and there's a big but here, i couldn't let him get out of this so easily :) .
So, on the way back, i did the jesus running. Basically, all you do is stretch both arms at shoulder level, and leave them there. At first, you will wonder why. After a couple of minutes, the burning in your shoulders will be self explanatory enough (feel free to try it at home, you can post the maximum amount of time you were able to hold them up. And please, no cheating. Arms straight, at shoulder level). At first, he was fine ... and then, after a couple of minutes, he broke, and lowered them. He looked back, and saw me still running like this, and started again ... I waited for him to break again, then kept for some 30 seconds (not because i'm petty, just to show him who's da boss).
Afterwards, we went and had a nice dinner @ the backpackers bar. Nice guy.

On the last days, i spent quite a lot of time at the Brisbane cinema. First watching "3:10 to Yuma", which was nice. Then watching "Fool's gold", which was quite funny and very enjoyable, and today was "The Mist". Based on Stephen King novel. Good, disturbing movie. Liked it.

I have an idea for a post called "Why is it ...", But i need to venture more into it.
In the meanwhile, using basic statistics and simle math, i reached the very sad conclusion that less than 6% of the people who were on my updates mailing list, are actually keeping in touch. Another 10% take the time to write here and there, in the case I wonder where did they disappear to, and the rest ... well ... i hope they are well.
I would like to thank those 6-16% :).

And last, but not least, maybe i'll be going to dance tonight. I'll let you know how was it if i'll go.
