tyggerjaiWell, that was a fun weekend. Went to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitlings on Friday night, despite having said I wouldn't, to watch while the filthy stinking gamers painted WarHammer 40K miniatures. Made the mistake of pickin up the filthy stinking rule book. I think I might need to borrow an army from someone at some point. It is, as sly_girl says, Car Wars without the cars. Not that I'm a filthy stinking gamer. Oh no.
Gym on Saturday - good day. Eased off on the weight a little - back to a step below my last session (so back to pre-Canberra levels) but good form for 3 solid sets in each exercise, and I added chest presses back into the mix. And did *real* squats. Badly, but I did them. Actually, not too badly. I had the bar too high (on the bony bit of my neck, rather than on the traps), but other than that, I felt good about my form. Light weight, again, but the squat is not an exercise where you want your ego to outdo your ability to keep your lower back straight. Gory details:
d/b shoulder press: 3x15 @ 30
Seated Row: 3x15 @ 120
Squats: 3x15 @ 10K (plus the bar, which is 19 K)
d/b Bicep curls: 3x15 @ 20
d/b chest press: 3x15 @ 35
Think that's it. Then a good 20 minute jog, and 5 minutes on the rowing machine.
I too was feeling bleh last night, and nearly didn't go to play pool, but I'm very glad I did in the end. I haven't spent much time withfreekboi and fizit, or vastneonwolf and strepsil, come to that, and it was good to be out with unusual people. In so many senses. And I hadn't forgotten how much fun it was to blow a night on bad pool with good people, but it's certainly been far too long. And we won, which helps :)
And I thought for a while that no-one would turn up to Frisbee Club today, given (I presume) the weather, butfreekboi made it, complete with frisbee, and then bunnikins, nigelw and kitling arrived all with kites, so it became Kite Club for the afternoon, which was, I must admit, a nice change from frisbees. And they all even flew! Though not all terribly well - being a geek, I suspect I'm going to have to invest in some silk and bamboo. nigelw and freekboi have done this kite thing before, I suspect.

I think I've got my hands on a Chaos army, so we'll have to arrange a game some weekend :)

he's get a few more troops together. It won't
be a big game but you can watch a bunch of Orkz
get mowed down by a bunch of Space Marines.

come over and look at more of Da Girlz to
convince yourself how much you want to kill
them :)
