luckycanuckTW: Pushup mountain - 46:35 and 460 pushups. Later at the gym: 10 SDHP, 10 pullups - 5 rounds. 10 corner pulls, 20 corner presses - 5 rounds. 50 bicep curls.
This afternoon I made my way across the border to Queanbeyan to renew my drivers license. (Officially I live in NSW at the Collaroy Castle as far as the state government is concerned.) It was a reminder that society as a whole is not accurately reflected by the people with whom we work and with whom we socialise and spend most of our time.
I've got the whole house to myself all weekend. If it were a bit warmer in Canberra I might walk around with nothing on. WOOHOO!!! Instead, I will enjoy watching the NRL and AFL finals tonight hoping that the Raiders and the Magpies manage wins.
Oh, one more thing. I know Oprah Winfrey has kind of a scary ability to influence people to do things, and as a result her recent announcement that she is bringing an American studio audience to Australia might pay dividends to the Australian tourism industry. (Though it's not exactly accurate to say she is generously flying her audience over, as Australian taxpayers are actually footing the bill.)
But I can really do without seeing the footage of her audience going hysterical over the fact that they would be flying to a modern and accessible country that they could have easily visited on their own. Oprah's not donating a kidney to you. It's like freakin' Beatlemania the way they were carrying on.
I know we need tourists to help the economy, but really, can't they just send money and not turn up?
