Ow. Ice skating, it turns out, is kind of hard on the back muscles. Weird, I don't remember this happening at the holiday activity things I used to go to. Maybe it's because of my newfound appreciation for speed skating - you build up a good velocity on the straight and then do the turn with the wind in your hair, it's brilliant. My knees are also not happy about this development, however my ankles are ironically doing fine - you see, their issues I predicted, and thus took breaks every fifteen minutes or so to take off my skates and wiggle a bit in the interests of retaining functional ligaments for the walk back to the train station.

We discovered in the course of the day that Diana and Nicky can't skate and I can't skate backwards and snow is kind of sharp. Plus, the recent humidity has puffed up my hair to such epic proportions as to give Asian girls the irresistable urge to poke it in awe.

My internet time remains sporadic. We did succeed in connecting it to my computer but this led to continuous freezing up so we decided it was less inconvenient for me to come downstairs and use my dad's. However we are now in possession of a router so we shall have to work on the problem. My dad has a few ideas - and by a few I mean one. I'm still behind on webcomics because I can't remember what any of them are. Curse you, lack of bookmarks, curse you!

Finally, I have rediscovered ljdq, go play.
