that's funny, we're moving on the same day, although gf and i won't finish our move until we find a place in london in early september. this is the first time i've had to use professional movers, always just used a combination of self and parents/friends before. when i moved from the states to pakistan it was just two boxes sent via fedex and a couple of suitcases. but my gf and i have managed to accumulate several substantial pieces of furniture that we want to hold onto, a couple hundred books (how did i let that happen?! i finally bought a kindle before i moved out here specifically to avoid getting more books!), and a bunch of art. so movers it is.

^^^thanks!
last night
- GMB warm up
- pirouettes x ~10/leg
better than i expected given how long it'd been since i did these. nailed at least a couple.
- scales x 5,5/leg
- pull up breathing ladder x 1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,1
- stretch
so at least my run-less night wasn't a complete waste
tonight
- run 9.41 km in 49:58
- stretch
the storm broke the heat but not the humidity, which is up to 90%.

Sweet. We'll have to go running together when you get here! Where are you going to be studying? I'm guessing SOAS?
for sure. and climbing, although i'm shit at it.
master's will be at UCL, actually. my political tendencies are lefty like SOAS but that's part of why i went for UCL: wariness of the echo chamber.

got home and started helping my gf with something. now it's pouring, pouring rain. too scary to run on the street with visibility this bad and the track will be a pond. hilariously, the weather report is that it's currently clear. i'm annoyed, i should have looked at the forecast before i started working on this thing. could have run first. got an early morning meeting tomorrow as well so can't make it up then. bah.

my gf and i were at a party in some big rich person's house. she was running for president against donald trump and he was also there, although we didn't interact with him. until we were leaving, that is, when i found him in a bathroom, still wearing a suit but with his hair wet and plastered against his head and brushing his teeth using a bamboo toothbrush with very short bristles and some red powder (instead of toothpaste). he said something about how lovely it was to meet us and thanks for coming. and i said, "well, mr. president, given that my partner is about to debate you on live tv tomorrow night, i hope you get a horrible night's sleep." he looked shocked, like he couldn't believe i'd been so rude. and we left.

it's weird, i never got them as a kid. only started as an adult, not exactly sure how long ago. it really only just occurred to me that that's what's happening when my right ear hurts every 3-6 months. i should probably get it checked out tbh.
fwiw it's not even close to a migraine, at least the ones i get. migraines are crippling, i sometimes vomit from the pain and i can't function at all.
