After driving Raquel to the airport, I watched the live DVD of Jet – Family Style. While it’s great to see them play live, while they really have great songs and while it’s always nice to see how a band works on stage (who does/plays what…), I found it a bit soft. Anyway, I had a good time and felt full of energy afterwards.

Long-term energy to really do something serious with music (finish and record my songs properly and find ways to play live with friends).

And short-term energy to go for a 50-min jog on campus with a quick stop to check that I had parked properly – I got a $45 fine yesterday for parking on the wrong side of Veteran as I ignored that they were cleaning the east side on a different day (Thu.) than the west side (Fri.). I will of course apply for an appeal – that got me out of a bad parking fine in UC Berkeley two years ago. Running was ideal to burn the Mc Do’s calories… as well as the pizza-related ones accumulated since last Tuesday when I entertained Raquel on a tennis court.

Now it’s time for a merited and necessary shower – I hope to post this soon afterwards as the network is not playing ball at the moment.

This is definitely no usual going-out Friday night…

Important note because I don’t want to spoil the LBS French Club reputation: I am not the sport-crazy (nazi?) type of MBA – marathon running, gym freak… well… you know what I mean :). I usually run faster and no more than 30 minutes. I think the last time I ran that long was the time I decided to jog to St Paul during my first weeks in London in 2004. So, once every 18 months. The French Club honour is safe.
