I've added a link, pain , on the side to my all new counter-blog, vanishing pointless . It's a training log for the Melbourne Marathon.

The idea is to publicly shame myself into training. Feel free to offer manliness questioning encouragement there.
The race will be, funnily enough, the day after the Australian Federal elections. For my efforts I'll get a trip east, a medal, and chaffed nipples; battlers of ideas get a change of government and to say farewell to the present dissembling bunch of fuckers. Here's hoping for the lot of us.
