My exercise for the day and a shameless request
I’ve just finished washing my car. M came out when I was almost done, and we polished it together, and now my arms are well and truly buggered. In true Murphy’s Law style, my car had bird shit on it before I could get it back under the carport. Bastards!
I have signed up to do the Relay for Life. This is a walking/running/whatever event to raise money for cancer research. You enter a team, and each team has to have at least one member moving a baton around the track for the duration of the walk. I think this continuous movement the people with cancer who have to live with it day in and day out without a break. We’ve got 15 people in our team, and it’s a 20-hour event, so we’ll be camped there overnight. I’m actually quite looking forward to it - it should be good! There are a couple of people from my Auslan class doing it as well, which I only recently found out about, so I might see them there. Naturally, the whole point is to raise money, so… if any of you would like to donate to a great cause, please send me an email (the address is in the sidebar) and I’ll let you know how you can do it, as well as give you my eternal gratitude. The walk’s not until April, but I’ll take my camera along and hopefully have some good photos to show you after the event.

what a good cause! i haven’t done anything that intense, but i do walkathons when i can.
i like the red bull commercial where a bird takes a crap on a guy’s suit, so the guy has a sip of red bull (it gives you wings), and then flies above the bird to have revenge. ^_^

We don’t have such things in France but we do collect money like everybody. I hope they find a cure very soon even though there are many different kinds of cancer.
Good luck with your team!

Heh, that sounds like a good ad, JR… a lot better than the crappy Dove ones I saw on The Apprentice last night (yes, we’re behind).
Thanks, Miss Qt!
Oh, sorry Kunaal! But it’s not mechanical, and a bird is probably going to let fly (heh) on your aunt’s car anyway
