Study going well. Am currently reasonably confident I'll pass.
I am however annoyed that the book I'm currently reading has quite a number of mistakes in it, which means it can't really be trusted...
Hmm, well, I have another two 700+ page books to read on the subject before my exam on the 03/03 so I guess that between the three of them I should get enough knowledge to ace it.
Joyfully, I have finally managed to do pull-ups in the gym today. This is quite a milestone for me as I have never been able to do that before. So yay. I should probably also point out that I weigh a bit over 100kg (About 16 Stone) so it's hardly a trivial matter. This also means that I will make pull-ups a very central part of my work-out...

I may make a proper gym entry at some point and describe how well I'm doing.
My gut is noticably receeding, so yay.

Also, weekend rocked due to many people being really cool.
B-Movie was good and full of great people.
And the nightwish gig rocked immensely.
Every song they played was fabulous, and they played a good mix of new tracks and old favourites.
And as always, their show was magnificent as they are dedicated showmen/woman...

Sunday I got a few bruises during sword training, but when you have a hobby where big burly men (And small not so burly girls) try to hit you with pieces of metal, you should really expect the odd bruise or two here and there...

Am supposed to be seeing Nightwish on Wednesday ... but it's not looking like I'm going to make it. :( (not unless I can sneak the wee one in under a long coat or something, lol)

Am also considering doing that going to the gym thing. Not done it in years, but it's probably a good idea!!

Going to the Gym is definitely a good thing.
Especially with your energy levels. I find that I got a lot more energetic after I started in the gym.
And it's also a nice and friendly place where everyone is united in a common goal...

Ah yes, I will see if I can find it in boot.
Thanks :)

En garde!

Whereabouts were you in the queue / in the venue at Nightwish? Was looking out for you, then sort of forgot due to finally-seeing-Nightwish-induced glee.

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

I got there about 18:30ish. I got into the queue around the corner at Soho Square...
There were a lot of people, so it's understandable you didn't see me...

[pelicanzed.livejournal.com]

Ah right; I got there about 6, and it was indeed rather heavily populated by black-wearing people.

hej, my opinion of you as a person has not changed but I am not really in love with the Nazi icon. but I think you should be fimiliar with my opinion on the whole thing.
Hope the sword fighting is going well.

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Sword fighting is good. Let me know if you'd like to come along...

And the uniform thing is really meant as a bit of a mockery.
Myself and naziboy has a long history of mocking the third reich...
I guess it's what one might refer to as internal humour.
That the uniform suits me so much is pure co-incidence.

As you un-doubtedly know, I despise all that the nazis stood for.
But they still had the coolest uniforms...

[blakeshell.livejournal.com]

I agree with all of that. Except the posting of it in public. But Hey, I'm not your mother, censor or your judge.
glad you said somthing though. Honestly I could not have included someone in a nazi uniform on my post as a certan jew on my friends list would never forgive me and I don't think I would blame her. :)

Can Sy come to sword practice?

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Well, I think most people who know me know that it shouldn't be taken as an endorsement of the 3rd reich, and those who don't... I'm not too concerned with them if they don't mention it.
And if they do I'll happily explain my opinion to them. At great length :)
And no, you're not my mother, you're far too pretty...

Sy is more than welcome to come along to sword practice.
It's every Sunday from 16:00 to 18:00 at Archway on the Northern Line.

[blakeshell.livejournal.com]

The issue is a bit larger than weather or not you are an actual natzi or endorse there views. But the fact that I am far more pretty than your mother is probabally more a statement about your mom ;)

I might come along to the next sword practice if I can come late.
I have a book group but they are mostly wankers and I am not likely to hang out after we have discussed the book.

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

You can come late, I don't think that's too much of a problem.
If Sy wants to come on time, I can meet her at Archway.
That way she'll probably get to try a bit of beginners training rather than just sitting around watching...
