The orange, the lemon and the cucumber

Project 1000 update: due to an injury I sustained snowboarding I may have to forfeit the project. It's not sure yet, but it will be in a few days. Really hope I can recover fast enough.

Project 1000

Whenever a year ends, I cannot help but do a revision of what has been and think about things to come, set goals for myself and strive to achieve them. For a few weeks, anyway...

This year is no different. I have decided on a little project I want to make myself do while periodically blogging about it. I thought it up in December and decided that the 1st of January would be the perfect day to start it. And so I have. I went running yesterday morning. The purpose of the project is to make myself run 1000 km in 2013. It's not that much, if you think about it. It amounts to roughly 20 km per week. With a good schedule, some dieting and a bit of will, I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I came up with a couple of rules to help me stay on track and prevent me from cheating. Here they are.

• Run 1000 km. Don't walk them. I will use a GPS watch to keep track of my speed, distance, etc. Only runs that have an average speed of 10 km/h or higher will be considered as run kilometers.
• Runs should be regular. My schedule allows for breaks, but anything longer than 11 days means I will forfeit the project.
• Runs cannot be shorter than 2 km. This one's pretty self explanatory.
• Dieting. This is not so much a rule as a decision to help things along. I don't plan on going on any crazy diets either... just cut back on fast food and stuff.

A blog post is scheduled after reaching 100km. More about the project then.

Note: Rules may be added to the list.

Burning the midnight rum

 I found some really strong rum at the store the other day and I thought to myself... now there's an idea. One snoot adapter later and...

Crash course literature and a few shots

So, yeah.... John Green will be posting educational videos on literature on the Crash Course channel.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! If I would not venture to say I love literature, although I do like it, I absolutely love the way John Green talks about it and the way the way we see our world is held together by words. Here's the video.

'Faulkner beneath the stars'? I laughed so hard!


On a totally unrelated topic, here are some more shots from my little macro shoot the other day.

Cleaning old coins

 Macro, anyone?

We instant froze some beer

I also shot some video. If anyone asks for it, I might upload it.

I'm still exploring this new camera, but I am very impressed to what I've discovered so far.

It's a Ferrari!

A quick snap I took on my way home from work. Is this a Ferrari in a Halloween costume? Your guess is just as good as mine.
