I spent the day tweaking this blog (and its <a href=\"http:\/\/sixroupillons.fr\">French<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/seiscabezadas.es\">Spanish<\/a> homologues), coding an <a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/svgfig\/\">svgfig<\/a> script, working, tidying, video editing, and sharing the evening with my partner.<\/p>\n<p>But I missed my <time datetime=\"2012-03-09T17:00\"><strong>17:00<\/strong><\/time> nap. I got carried away by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc\">Kony2012&#8217;s video<\/a>. I was moved by their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kLHOh-9f8xI\">2006 documentary<\/a> when I first watched it 3 years ago but did nothing. This time I had to lend a hand. So I decided to give them <a href=\"http:\/\/www.universalsubtitles.org\/en-gb\/videos\/mCkstKbdREwv\/info\/KONY%202012\/\">spanish subtitles<\/a>. Of course &#8230; 0:30 watching + 0:40 writing, 0:40 cutting, 0:40 editing &#8230; soon adds up to &#8230; sore eyes, tiredness and \u00a02h delayed nap &#8230; but I think it&#8217;s a good cause. The press has complained about a simplified, Hollywood style, partial, US-centric video. I agree with all those adjectives. However, where were all those <a title=\"guardian on kony\" href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/politics\/reality-check-with-polly-curtis\/2012\/mar\/08\/kony-2012-what-s-the-story?newsfeed=true\">commentators<\/a> in 2006 when they made the real documentary? Well, nobody watched it. Nobody noticed. Nobody cared. \u00a0Hollywood style appeals to the masses. \u00a0I think it&#8217;s a good way to raise awareness and start the conversation.<br \/>\nBut coming back to sleep my late nap was unsuccessful (i.e. no sleep).<\/p>\n<p>Exhausted by <time datetime=\"2012-03-09T23:00\">23:00<\/time>, I&#8217;m going to bed.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Health <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My top priority (as it should be for life itself) is to stay healthy. But exercise has not always been where my mouth is. Last year I became a chair-potatoe. No bike, no running and way too much computer. I&#8217;m fortunate to have a doctor at home (my partner) who can keep an eye on me, but I want to closely monitor any adverse effect of this experiment.<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks ago I started a daily (and easy) run, bike ride or walk. However I pushed myself a little too hard running about 3 miles. I know, I know, &#8230; 3 miles is nothing! But I&#8217;ve never really run in my life. I&#8217;ve cycled many thousands of km (litteraly), but have probably never ran more than 50km in my entire life. Anyway, pulled hamstring. So I&#8217;m concerned about it not getting enough sleep to recover. I&#8217;ll monitor that very closely in the next few days.
