Day Fifty Four: Bigger Is Better

Even if it's just sniffing glue.
Hopefully then you won't be capable of interacting with me.

Mondays are never particularly exciting goal-wise, and while they're normally quite enjoyable for myself personally there's very little worth sharing about my schedule. Also the majority of non-derby related people I've interacted with over the last couple of weeks have been passive aggressive to me. What is wrong with these people? Seriously. Get a hobby. I'm making an effort to keep doing non-derby things but if people are rude to me my primary response is to never interact with them again.


Aside from that the old CRT has been replaced by a 50" plasma in the lounge, I hardly ever use the TV but when the CRT died I suddenly wanted to play the wii. Now it's hooked up to this beast of a screen and it's just fantastic. Distractions plus plus, I've also started reading the Walking Dead. Which is why I went to sleep so late last night.



Fitness: Ran up the stairs in Britomart again. It's three flights and if my legs aren't tired from training I can spring up them at speed without feeling a thing. I like to use it to judge how my legs are feeling that day, the same way I banana jump in the corridor doorways at work to check my vertical leap. Other than that I have obligations after work so I don't do any training.

Aikido: No training today

Derby: No skating today

Diet: Tea and banana cake for a early breakfast as we were having a shared morning tea for Dobson's birthday. I'm always keen on free food. Buns with cheese, salami, coleslaw, chip dip, and chips (best 'cheap' sandwiches ever) and a couple of glasses of coke. Dinner consisted of steak, salad and potato bits with processed cheese on them, and then fruit salad for dessert. I then ate several pieces of banana cake with chocolate frosting.

Sleep: I got a passable amount of sleep the night before and (as I'm writing this the next day again) 'tonight' I should have gone to sleep a little earlier. The family only left just after 11pm so I had a few things I needed to do before bed, and then I read a few Walking Dead... the problem with single issue comics is the whole, "Just one more..." if they only take six or seven minutes to read. So it was closer to 1am, realistically 1.30am before I would have fallen asleep. With a 6.30am wake up and a minimum 16 hour day for Tuesdays that probably could have been planned better.



It's not like I have an abundance of free time but I really want to play Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn now that the wii is hooked up to a higher definition screen (and it looks like a modern version of Sukoden, which I loved) and I've gotten a little immersed into The Walking Dead pretty quick. I guess it's all about priorities.I'll find the time no doubt...  I'll only need about a hundred hours for these things.
