rabbit heart

the start of another week. am not on earlies which is always good and i feel better for it, although it doesn't change the fact that i am struggling to concentrate at work. i need a break. arrgghh!!!.

watched the last couple of stages of the tour de france and it was wicked. mark cavendish is a monster sprinter. no one can get near him. have never seen anyone win a sprint on the champs elysee by such a huge margin. i really want to hurry up and but another bike, and have extra motivation because it takes so long taking the bus on the weekends. its such an ordeal getting to the gym these days.
i went to see a bike made by felt, but it had size 700 wheels and they are too big and just don't look right. i don't like the look of bikes with 700 size wheels, unless they are road racing bikes. i found another bike by GT that has 26" wheels which looks much nicer and better proportioned. 26's are how i roll playa!.

killed it at the gym on sunday. i always try and push to my maximum but somedays i go a little bit beyond. yesterday was one of those days and i am a little sore today.

still no news if my contract gets extended or not. friday will be my last day if they don't extend it. i should be worried but i am not in the slightest. i couldn't be any less worried if i tried. will look to get out of dodge if i don't get renewed and then get another contract upon returning....to dodge.....if i don't get renewed at this place.

the weather is shit as usual. dark skies and rain showers. its shit here. i wish i was somewhere else. this week i will definitely book my ticket to the states, once i found out what my situation is. thats a promise.

and now something completely random. fashions. london is a very fashionable city and every season you see a new trend, particularly amongst the ladies. it could be combat trousers like it was a couple of years ago, or its ugg boots or its fur coats or whatever. this year there are quite a few people wearing those shiny skin tight black leggings. a friend of mine was even wearing them a couple of weeks ago and they are so shiny and tight that they look like they could be made from rubber or leather, but they aren't. lots of girls are wearing them with short skirts and high heels these days and worn correctly with the right outfit they look quite smart and stylish.

anyways, the other day i was walking down the street in soho, and london being the freak infested city it is, i saw a fat guy wearing shiny skin tight leggings and he was wearing them with a black frilly shirt, like something a victorian dandy would wear. he looked so fucking ridiculous it was actually funny and i had to bite my lip and look away as i walked past him, because i would have burst out laughing. i wish i had taken a pic but i don't think i would have been able to hold them camera still, long enough to take a properly focused photo.

just to be clear, girls in tight black shiny leggings = stylish. guys in shiny black leggings = knob head, soho, fashion victim thats got it badly wrong.

today i have mostly been listening to florence and the machine - rabbit heart. wicked tune. look after yourself V.
