Art thou a witch, viva espana?

[bending_sickle]

Today I finished the lion database I was working on (whoot!) and started setting up the next part of the results analysis. The Really Scary part, where I will throw myself at the mercy of Access and ArcGIS and all hell's programs.

"ALL YOU CAN HOPE FOR IS THE MERCY OF HELL."

"Yeah?"

"JUST OUR LITTLE JOKE."

I've also finally emailed people I've been meaning to for ages.

I'm now too tired to think or read or work (and oh gods so hungry but I don't even have milk at home oh woes) so here's some sports accomplishments of mine of late.

- I swam 800 meters in ten minutes yesterday and 2100 meters in thirty minutes.
- I run about 4 km in half an hour. Those 2 km are calculated from some complicated tricking of google maps, so...

The important thing is that this is waaaay better than I used to be. (Except for the swimming, which seems to be the same number of laps but faster...yet in the same amount of time. Tardis!pool, anyone?)


Quote of the Day, marika_kailaya, here

It's not that [Kito Aya] did something amazing, in usual terms. It's that she didn't stop. Her idea of giving up wasn't the idea that's generally accepted. She got the wheelchair, the disability, the letterboard, the diapers, the caretakers--the constant need to have someone at your side to do basic tasks right down to feeding and bathing you, and she made careful decisions to let go of things she could no longer even remotely have. Nobody wants to believe that there are some things some people absolutely cannot do. They say that if you admit you can't do them anymore, then you're just giving up. Aya admitted that, and found other things she could do.
