170km

A few days ago I cycled my longest trip ever: 170km. That took about 8 hours. I’m quite satisfied. Next goal is probably 200km, would like to get some company though.

The previous weeks have been quite active. Paprika-% is 76.8 now.

About one month left of vacation, then back to the university. Yesterday and today I’ve been very lazy, don’t really know why. Even watched one movie (Cube Zero). Most of the time I’ve played WCup515, the last event of the World Cup 5. Pipe it is and I like it.

4h of boredom

Category: Internet, Movie, Sport — Abula at 5:33 EEST in July 15, 2005

Over four hours without Internet at home (it was broken for some reason) - quite a scary experience. Watched two movies: Kymmenen riivirautaa and Menolippu Mombasaan. It’s not like I watch movies often. I guess the previous one was in the New Year Eve with friends in cottage in Lappland and actually overslept 30mins of it. Movies are not my business - actually all passive activities are not that much liked. For example reading books (I read a few per year) and watching TV (don’t have) is too boring.

Right now I’m waiting an hour and then go cycling. To bad they’ve forecasted rain to Oulu.

Nerd life

Just woke up. Talking about messed sleeping rhythm. Went to sleep at 13:00 or something. The last days I’ve been programming Java (one school work) and doing Paprika (tijsjoris: yeas, it’s progressing, most likely I’m able to publish it during the summer). If I recall correct last time I was outside was on Sunday: played football. I should go to the food store but they are always closed when I’m up. Been eating mostly just ice cream and a few breads which are run out now. Fortunately I still have some chicken - going to fry them after writing this.

Summer. Yeah, this is good way to pass it. Sleeping when the sun is shining. But I don’t care, actually I like my current situation. I’ve finished many old computer ‘todo’s, because it’s quiet at nights and you don’t get jammed to IRC.

Sport is hard though. I don’t really get inspired to do any at night and when the sun rises I’m too tired. I think I’ve skipped 3-5 points now, which I really should get back soon. I really hope that I’ll get my ass up for a long cycling trip tonight.

Bicycle back in line

I suck at fixing things like bicycles, computers, cars, whatsoever. Fixing my bicycle costed me 65e. I’m not sure if it was worth it because it’s already broken again. I just drove about 277km during three days, maybe this has some effect though. Actually I think some oil would get it working nicely again. Mostly it’s only the weird noises that are annoying me, nothing more serious.

Needed some time to get all lost sport points (because of FEM) back. We were going to do the walking battle in FEM, but then I was the only participant and didn’t bother anymore. Also the midsummer fest wasted a few days.

FEM over

One week. One of the best in my life, so far. Hopefully FEM06 will be even better although. You might think I must have the most boring life if this is best I get. I’m such an Elma freak, that’s why.

A few hours ago I finalized my personal story. After that I’ve done everything I wanted for FEM report. The videos are ready, the pictures are ready and all the results up too. 95% of the Applelane readers have already seen them all but for the rest readers: pictures, story.

I really hope that the participants enjoyed their week but also the people in community who weren’t there. At least I tried my best to offer many pictures, interesting videos and short story.

Also the GAA prizes were given. Only a few left to be snail mailed to Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Turku.

So now. Finally back to Paprika. I have also been mailing with one very interesting person. Stay tuned!
