UV is fierce down here.

Wanted to try it again to see if anything had changed. Now I'm INTP

Became that (moderate) hermit. slash thinker/architect...

beach runs argh

 

can anyone recommend solutions for carrying a galaxy s3 while running (music/endomondo)? pocket feels weird. just hold it normally but wanted to try something else

 

edit: armbands is probably the best/only other option (of course) but was wondering if there was any other kooky products out there

I can definitely second the travel light part.

 

If you're willing to play it by ear (and endure shitty travel conditions/things not always working out as planned) then you can travel for stupid cheap, especially overland.

 

Don't know how much risk you're willing to take, but hitchhiking, buying crappy second hand cars, making friends and going places with them have led to all my most memorable travel experiences. Of course, you're less likely to get raped/murdered doing it if you're a big hairy dude

 

One of the best trips I ever had was a week driving around sicily in a 100euro car that a mate had bought, sleeping in the car/on the side of the road. My least favourite trips are ones where everything is planned beforehand

well the physio told me i have to stop running for 2 weeks (so from last week - so no running for 14 days, i'm dying) and I've done exercises twice a day to re-enforce some weird muscles that I lake of (really strange as I used them for like nearly 12 years and i just took a 2 years break from all sporty activity) - but near the end hopefully I will do my first 20km early December! Small amount but a worthy challenge for me!

 

so this might be a weird question but can anyone comment as to when they really started to love running? IE was it something you always loved doing and you hated it when you couldn't get out for whatever reason or did you have to train for a while to get to a point where you really enjoyed it rather than it being exercise/something you did bc it was good for you?

 

I only ask because I couldn't imagine it being so bad that I couldn't run for a couple weeks (though I wouldn't dig the feeling of losing fitness, progress etc). There are definitely parts of it I like, such as being fit(ish) and the ability to spontaneously run through other interesting spots/alter your route on the fly to do some exploring  which you don't really get in a car, but it's still something of a chore which I'm doing mainly for the fitness...

 

I'm wondering if it'll get to the point of being a passion of mine - like climbing (a physio telling me I could never climb again would be shit), or if I'll always be like "doc said I shouldn't run... oh well *TV*"

 

TL;DR - was running something you guys intuitively loved from the start or did it develop into a passion after a while of doing it?

Chinless people.

 

I'm just getting back into it properly after doing my ankle - only doing easy 2-3 km runs so far but feeling good...

 

want to make a real go of it and try to start doing some distance for once

damn, I think that's definitely package of the swap. knolling just takes it to the next level

man I'm recognising some patterns in the books people are sending around

woogie gets a one week ban. supertrash goes silent

hahahaa glad you liked it! post a fit son

posted mine out this afternoon - many apologies partnah that it was so long. would have got it out yesterday but it was a public holiday and all the post offices were closed.

yo ADH92 if I occasionally mail you bulk (colour and b&w) film, would you want to develop it? what would the overheads be on that? be happy to throw some money your way (rolled up in film canisters, of course).

I've never heard of that film before. Doesn't look like it's going to be able to upload to my dropbox though, so can I get a link?

on the note of shitty australian post stories, I'm pretty sure a couple of the things I was going to send have just disappeared in transit. FUCK YOU AUSTRALIA POST. Will hopefully get some more dope stuff to make up for it and ship first thing next week

 

not looking forward to ridiculous shipping prices either but hey, was kinda expecting that

Sorry guys, I've been completely out of action the past month with work and uni. Should have some time mid next week so I'll watch it then if not before and report back. Anyone else seen it yet?

I'm waiting on one or two things to come in to finalise mine. feeling a bit self conscious in light of the quality of the packages so far though - debating holding off an extra couple days to increase dopeness quotient :/

Went and picked up lasseg's amazing package this morning. Some awesome stuff in there.

 

 

design mag and a japanese one "for your pleasure" lol

 

Danish licorice (google gives me "ammonia and lake liquorice" - from the taste I'm assuming salted and sweet) and amazing marzipan chocolates. wife has already gotten into the "ammonia" liquorice

 

walnut tray and a teak salt/tobacco/etc box/bowl

 

lego seattle space needle and an awesome nintendo x snoopy collab

 

a motherload of 'soulland' stickers and a tote, with a tshirt. super soft, really nice to the touch. thought it was going to be a bit big but it fits pretty well.

 

belly not included

 

+rep for my new favourite scandinavian, lasseg

 

I'm gonna have to step my game up

apparently a big ass-carton is waiting for me at the post office. haven't ordered anything recently so figuring it must be lasseg/ADH92. shall report back. keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

Fuck this. I need/want a damn thread. 

 

what the fuck you talking about man?

^^ sorry man but i think tabasco is permanently part of the sufugeist.

i totally spit out my coffee laughing at some girl at uni today carrying her books in an h&m bag like it was a fashion accessory

 

we made eye contact

bang doe?

fuckkkkkking hell

 

way better than the first package that arrived last swap

oh mannnn this always happens so when's the new deadline?
