A rather tame weekend

The poker game never materialized Fri night.

Went skiing on Saturday, not snowboarding. My first time on long skiis (can't believe I tried the bigfoots first). It took a few runs on the bunny hills before I realized that it's a good idea to carve using the back, and not the side, of the skiis so that the edges don't catch when changing directions. I still can't keep my skiis parallel and carve smoothly, but the improvement after that moment of epipheny was otherworldly. So was the view of the Daisen sunset, right after the blizzard stopped and right before the slopes closed.

Went to SATY gym for the first time since enrolling last Thursday. Lifted for the first time in like 5 months (and before that single time at Kate's apartment, maybe another 5). Celebrated muscle failure in my arms, shoulders, chest, back, abs, and lower back (damn) by splurging \900 on a 200g steak. It looked good, was good, but sure as hell didn't taste like a $10 steak to me.
