Working it out

I joined the Tipness sports club this month, and between Tipness and the company running circle have been exercising every single day (except for the 4th, when Tipness was unexpectedly closed). Usually 30 minutes of mild running and a tour of the machinery, then sauna. Sometimes swimming, until I get bored of it (takes about 5 minutes, I need a waterproof iPod) or too embarrassed of / annoyed by constantly bumping into other people in the rather crowded pool (takes about 10 minutes). Usually before work from 7:30 to 9, but it gets increasingly hard to keep getting up so early, so I started shifting towards after work from 9 to 11. In fact, it gets increasingly hard to keep doing this at all, this blog entry is hopefully effective in pressuring me to go on, as are membership payments in advance.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I have seen all previous Harry Potter movies, but this is the first one of which I read the book, so that I knew how things would turn out and the most interesting part of the movie became waiting for certain scenes to see how they compare with my expectations, the two biggest of which were Hagrid's giant half-brother and Dolores Umbridge. Nicely done (but one has to wonder why cat owners in movies are always villains).
