This weekend I bought Windows 8 from the computer shop on The Broadway, Wimbledon. Took it home, stuck it on my laptop and well, it's mine now. Even though I've had it for some time at the office(and hated it), now that I have paid for it, I'm rather drawn to it and liking it... I went to watch Wreck-it Ralph. That was a good film, I laughed a lot. Probably the best film of 2013 for me so far, and I'm not going to watch Django or Lincoln. Still, love growing up in my 20's...much more fun than growing up for real. It's snowing this morning. I like the snow but I don't like the snow-that way I can be neutral about the fact I realised as I saw it walking out the door this morning: I can't run home tonight. Watched a very interesting channel surfing mistake last night. It was a film on J Edgar Hoover, the first Director of the FBI and the longest standing Director ever:48 years. You see now that's pretty interesting - well to me. The guy died while still being employee as Director, that's a long career.

I was thinking the other day why they don't have clocks in the London Underground tubes. My friend says that in Japan, when he was there, they have clocks in their underground trains. I need to think more about that. Still haven't got my passport. Missed my cousin's wedding because of it but that's ok because she knows I love her to bits. I had a grilled chicken breast, sweet potato and those new green beans, engame I think, for dinner last night at the gym. Ive become to especially like that dish. That was after my gym session. Thinking of grilling my own chicken...at home, save some money - that sorta thing. I figure that working in a restaurant must mean that you know diffirent techniques to cook good food real quick. Maybe i should take a look into this. They bring out a grilled chicken breast and cooked sweet potato in sub hour time, something I haven't been able to do. Work has been hard. I was down in my neighbours flat last night trying to figure out how the boiler/thermostat works and figured that I really like trying to understand things that aren't evidently understandable, like trying to learn everything without instructions. I looked at my email on my phone sometime last night and saw my tutor marker my latest assignment and I was pretty glad that I had a Windows 8 machine because now I can use it for assignments as well. I calculated that if I wanted to visit 14 countries, it could take about 12 months and it might cost around £20,000 which is crazy speak but it's a figure. But I came up with these numbers over a lunch break loosely talking to someone plus I don't have a passport right now.

My run last night was good, very cold. You know, I don't know if I can actually run any further than 7km because as soon as I walk up those stairs going up to Waterloo railway station, I'm proper out. Sometimes I wonder if I knew that I had to run 10km each time, you know psychologically, how I'd feel at the 7km mark. I figure I'd be ok. I had sushi yesterday for lunch and it was pretty great, that's because I haven't really had a real sushi meal since moving a year ago. I user to order out sushi all the time, it's the healthiest fast food I can think of, isn't it? Still drinking a suspicious amounts of coffee and I can hear a echo in my mind saying that that's not moderation. Did I substitute beer for coffee? I think I did.

As I walked with a crowd of people across the road outside Liverpool street station I remembered its Valentines day soon. I sorta like Valentines day. I get to see people show off...maybe that's weird but I like seeing how people get their kicks from it - I don't get it but I like it. That's in 3 days time. Actually, it's almost, now that I think about it, a very stressful time for many people, maybe its that I actually like seeing that! A deranged but amusing thought... Had the silly thought of buying another iPad or laptop just for the office, so I don't have to carry them with me to the office - you see, that's just plain lazy right there but it would be supremely convenient - 1st world problems, huh?

The more I think about it, the more life and everything worthwhile seems like I'm learning it without instructions...but it's ok, I like trying it out.

I should have eaten breakfast this morning
