I got a treadmill delivered on Friday - my new fitness regime and spent the whole movie (plus trailers) - 1hr 45mins on the treadmill. I was going 4.5km per hr most of the time, so did just under 8 km.

I love it! I watch it just about every day. I'll probably watch it again tonight. Jack won't watch it. I don't know why. There must be something wrong with him. ;) ;)
Good luck with your new treadmill Kelda!
I'm still trying to figure out this metric thing. I THINK I have kilometers figured out. I have a quick way of doing the math in my head. For example if I hear somebody say 100 km, I'll divide it in half and then add 10 percent. So, in this case the answer I would end up with is 60, for MPH. 100 / 2 = 50 + (10 percent of 100) 10 = 60.
I know it isn't completely accurate, but at least it will give me a ball park figure.
For meters I will multiply (or divide) by 3. So 3 meters is 9 feet. Again it's not exact, but it's close enough. I still haven't figured out a way to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius. I just know 0 C is 32 F, 100 C is 212 F, and something around 25 C or 30 C is a good temp to hit the pool! :)
Now, this makes me think of something else. Why do Americans spell some words differently than in other English speaking countries? We say color and they say colour. Organize/organise, realize/realise, airplane/aeroplane. There's lots and lots of examples.
But why?
We are the only English speaking country that does it. Even Canada spells those words like everyone else. :-\

Apparently there will be some arctic air coming down from Alaska and Canada in a few days. They said it will be pretty bad too. Wednesday's high temperature will only be 10 F and the low will be around -10. That's pretty damn cold if you ask me. I'm not looking forward to it! In the meantime, we will be getting more snow tomorrow before the super cold weather arrives. :P
Yucky.

I just saw Jess look in here but she didn't say anything. >:(
Brad did the exact same thing the other night. If they keep it up I will develop a complex. ;)
