aiming high (twenty five!!!)

So i started doing chin ups today. I figure i'll try and do them in the mornings before i head out to work. I did discover something interesting this morning though, and it is this: even though my arms look normal enough, they are actually very weak in the chin up area. I barely managed ten, which i guess i shouldn't have been too surprised by.

Anyway, i'm pretty sure i saw guitar girl today when i was at work. I was just coming out of the lift, arms full of metal cylinders and some strange electronic boards, when i could have sworn i saw her go round a corner. I quickly followed her and saw her go through a door, but when i got there it wouldn't open. Then a guy said 'Hey! What are you doing?' and i said, 'I'm trying to open this door but unfortunately it refuses to budge' and he said 'you probably shouldn't be in there anyway,' and i was still trying to open the door and i said, 'yeah, but i saw someone go in and i'd like to ask them something.'

Then i realised what i was saying and i turned around and it was that guy who wears a suit and sunglasses that i feel i have met somewhere before. He said, 'I think maybe you will have to meet up with your friend later,' and i said 'yeah i think maybe you are right,' and then he said 'you don't seem like the others here,' and i said 'i am from out of town sir,' and then before going through the very door i couldn't open he said 'you watch who you're looking for, friend. Sometimes people make themselves scarce for a reason.'

Up there it reads like a threat, but when he said it it really sounded like advice from a friend.

Also, i tried the door again but it wouldn't work. What gives?

Lanks and i went for a walk after work for a coffee and he asked me some stuff about what was happening in the world, because he had been working at the factory for a long time and felt a bit out of the loop. I wasn't too sure where to start so i asked him how long he'd been working at the factory and he said he couldn't remember very well but it sure felt like a really long time now that he thought about it. I told him things had probably not changed much except that now there were people walking around called emo kids who wore funny jet black comb over hair cuts and seemed unhappy all the time even when they were happy. I also told him that for some alternative rocker type people, fashion seemed to be moving in a backwards direction.

He said that time moving backwards could sure be dangerous, but sometimes being trapped without time moving at all could be worse.

Roger and Peter were shouting at Turbo when i got home. Roger was shouting 'COME IN! DO YOU HEAR ME?', and Peter was shouting 'ANY NEWS TO REPORT?', so i took Turbo for another short walk because i felt bad for him. He seems ok though.

I am thinking of buying a new book but i am not sure what to buy. Any ideas?

Blake out.
