Out out damn spot, out!

I had my first swim lesson at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre today. We learn to kick our feet. Oh, and breathe also. It's actually a lot harder than it looks. I've been told I should try to get my chin higher into the air before trying to breathe... I'm swallowing a lot of water. I think I should get ear plugs, nose plugs, and goggles. Basically prevent any ingress of water.
I also smell like chlorine. Everytime I sniff myself, I smell chlorine. I've already taken 2 showers. Maybe it's all the chlorine I've swallowed... the fumes are still getting into my nose or something. I definitely can't scrub anymore. The last shower and scrub left me feeling peeled.

I’m a good worm owner

The temperature in Vancouver has been in the 0'ish range lately, and it's supposed to snow tomorrow. Since I'm a responsible pet owner, I've moved my worms into my apartment until the temperature reaches 5 degree lows once again.
 
When I was lugging the box inside, I was amazed at how heavy it was. Even though I don't always have a lot to feed them, 7 months of banana peels do add up. At this rate, I'll have to start thinking what I'm going to do with the compost soon.

Done

Done done done.
After years of paddling, I have registered myself for swimming lessons at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre.
 
Adult 1: Basic introduction to the water. Introduction to front and back floats and basic propulsion.

Adult 2: Introduction to front and back glides with basic propulsion. Introduction to front crawl, 1-2-3 breathe. Introduction to deep water activities.
 
I figured since I already know the basics of the front crawl, I would just skip the Adult 1 and go straight into Adult 2. The very notion of deep water activities is scaring me a bit though. Visions of me slowly sinking keep running through my mind. Let me revise that. It's not scaring me a bit, it's scaring the bejeebies out of me. I no longer have any bejeebies left to scare out. It's not good.

Thieves of petty things

To the thief who stole my bike lights tonight:
I hope you sell my lights for enough to purchase some tainted drugs that leaves you bent backwards in pain for the last miserable minutes of your life.
You managed to take off the front light which was detachable (I suppose its my fault for tempting you with such an easy target), but you also stole the cover from my backlight along with the batteries. Either way, you rendered them completely useless to myself and you. Well, I suppose you have 2 half dead AA batteries from the backlight. I throughly enjoyed biking home in the dark with no lights.
I hope by now you're still in the last 30 seconds or so of pain. Have a wonderful night, and burn in hell you boil on the ass of mankind. There aren't any excuses for you or your life.
