I dunno why but today I woke up with Bob Dylan's Lay, Lady, Lay in my head. Started humming it while the suns rays streamed in over my bed. I ended up listening it eventually. I feel like being very alone today. I suppose that can sound really weird but I get that sometimes.

I'm listening to U2 on the tube into London Liverpool street. It's 7am and I'm early. Stuff just got done this morning and I sorta just wanted to go. Got a bottle of water from the news agent outside the station, strawberry flavoured. I'm not sure what today holds for me but I guess I'll make it happen. No one else will, right?

Spoke to my Mother and Father yesterday. It's good for the soul. Watched the Dark Shadows this weekend, in IMAX. I enjoyed it. Apart from the house viewings, this weekend has been good for my health: I've rested, got some sleep and that's real good.

I watched Legends of the Fall on TV. I want to go away from it all, like Tristan Sonetimes - forget everything, loose everything and then taming all that which lies within. I need to be with the bear within me. It was a good movie.

My cold has dissipated but I'm going to lay low for a bit today and maybe head out for a run tomorrow, sounds pretty early but I'll see.

I had pretty Ok day at work - looks like my cold payed off last week. But how? Well in my rushed,hurried and run-down state - I managed to implement more than was expected even though I underestimated. So today I pretty much had to test that my extra work actually works as it was now a requirement today. Im leaving the office today a bit early because I got in early. Must say, its a peculiar sensation leaving the office while everyone is still there.

Today really evaporated before me, with lunch not being really interesting. That said I played Bob Dylan most of my music-listening day. It's sorta like Aerosmith - it doesn't get old, well not for me anyway.

It's been pretty rough the last couple of days. I went to bed at 4am on Wednesday trying to finish an assignment, the nett result thereof is that I've realised that I can't go on doing assignments the day before. I could before but now, thepartial time to read up on assignment and do it is more than a day. And don't get me started on the laborious and pedantic and verbose questions I'm finding myself in.

I got sick on Tuesday - like a flu which I still have(got some throat losangers today). I've been working pretty hard since Wednesday sleeping at around 5 hours of sleep on average over the last 2 days. We had a deadline and I underestimated something and it came back and took a chunk out of my ass and so I've been up against it. Not really healthy or appealing.

I was supposed to go up in a hot air balloon today, as well as view a property at 13:30 and also accompany a few guys as a guest to the local gym to seeing I'm up for joining - none of this happened today, I had to cancel it all in favour of my deadline.

But hey it's Friday now, I ended off with a session of Dance central 2 on the xbox via Kinect sensor at the office with two colleges at work before heading out.

Kinda everything is happening or happened. It's sorta nuts and I'm over it, really.

I'm viewing a flat tomorrow and then potentially two more later on in the day. Crazy - my phone hasn't had this much talk-time in ages and frankly I think it caught a bit of a wake up call and is recovering. To be honest, the first decent flat I see tomorrow, im taking; one less thing on the radar and back to me concentrating on my life; going to bed at 4am is not cool.

So I had the viewings today of various places - one in Wimbledon, Earls field and putney. Putney is a cool place but it's kinda out of my way. The letting agent I was traveling around with was nice, she told me that the weird funny dressed people we were seeing allover Putney was for a 70s dress theme rugby match at Twickenham. The sun was out, it was a pretty cool day but I was still sluggish from my cold. I got some sleep today half way through watching Dusk 'till Dawn at home. Some guys at work love that movie; it wasn't that awesome not as good as Everything Must Go which I watched on Friday night about a Husband loosing everything and then realising it(First serious film I've seen with Will Farrell , very good though ).

I'm back to coding today, well really officially today, I've been coding since last week but my project was shelved so I'm officially back. Probably a good thing as I kinda was finished and was nearly getting bored and im a certified self-proclaimed code monkey anyway so that's what I love doing.
I'm sick again, and again it's because I upset my sleeping routine, this bank holiday weekend had me going to bed at all hours of the day. I'm learning - tissues by my side in bed, hazy walking around my apartment and general lethargy and tiredness. Silly really. Funny today it's back to work and mentally I'm ok but physically I'm not really there. Learning...learning.

Yesterday I went on a bit of a London expedition from Covent Garden all the way to Holborn. Walking. It was very zen. Got some real progress with some of my projects I have at home. I even did some window shopping, trying a few rucksacks on, browsing for tech and other gadgets - not buying a single thing. Zen baby!

Saturday I bought a mag and read it while I had an all day breakfast in Wimbledon and I guess, also zen'd it a bit. I know no one will understand the beauty of this solitude when I get back in the office.

I woke up on Bank holiday Monday to find out that in 15 minutes the estate agents had arranged to come view my place with a potential customer. That woke me up fully - I fully flung stuff away rather frantically. Surprising how good I got it. Only thing I missed was that I was still in my PJs when they knocked. Oh well, it was my day off so I so wasn't even bothered.

I've got a running noes, running god knows where but is pretty keen on going somewhere so I've packed some tissues for the road. I hate blowing my noes in general on the tube - I dunno it's a kind of thing for me. No good reason I know but there you go.

I developed an interesting thought though this weekend which was how do we begin appreciate beauty; Is it a state of mind who's interpretation and view of it exposes it, embellishes it or is it something else like seeing scenery
after it rains. I suppose it's a bit of both. I had this thought after noticing how while walking to Charring Cross station, viewing the grounds of the park adjacent, how beautiful and appealing and generally aesthetic it was. It had just rained. Bizarre, I know right? Or is it, really?

Today was pretty snotty, I've clasped to my tissues all day, sneezing and blowing my nose. I'm a bit bummed that I can't go running tonight but I have to look after myself - we were swapping stories earlier about how this one guy/girl died because he/she was doing sport while ill - so that pretty much sealed it for me. Got some good headway work wise, even treated myself to a KFC BBQ chicken wrap for lunch. I really need to get some rest.

I think I need a good TV session tonight; I activated my on demand service from Sky and downloaded some noteworthy films i though were worth watching this weekend, so I'll do that tonight. I might also grab some fruit juice, and I've got a craving for bacon rashers crisps(they call then crisps here!)

I was just thinking while walking down the station tunnel towards to tube how it's kinda easy getting involved in everyone else's life and forgetting about your own(especially in London where there are so many lives to think about) - like worry about someone else when that just takes your time up and you don't worry about you. Sounds selfish but sometimes when it doesn't hurt anyone - you should forget everyone. Don't know if that makes sense but there it is.

Just seen a guy on the tube with his Nintendo and makes me think mine is not getting enough air time. Not great.

Anyway yeah so I bought some decongestants this morning at the pharmacy on the way into work today and they helped. It was at 4am this morning whilst sitting on the edge of my bed, reading the medical note that accompanied a decongestant I had found that I learned that decongestants work by relieving the inflammation in the nasal cavities - I know pretty ground breaking, right? But I found that interesting. I had a interesting chat at lunch over my BBQ wrap about Tibet and China's tempestuous relationship with a native Chinese collegue. Nice to hear her perspective as it differs to popular belief. Challenge and let the truth fight for its right!

I got an assignment due on Thursday and depending on my predicted movie night might even venture into a couple PDFs for enlightenment. I enjoyed my last assignment; this ones in concurrency. The more I think about it the more I wished I'd brought my java book with me today but I took it out this morning - unlucky I guess.

-- Can I just interrupt and say I'm loving my life --

I had an awesome moment today when having a sneeze: I massive Lurgy was dangling and I managed to catch some new girl's attention and gaze at this precise moment - pretty great huh? Remember the massage therapist? See that just makes me feel better now thinking about that.

Decided to resurrect my NatGeo Kinectic wrist watch this weekend and wore it into work today - I love it. Still like the idea that when I die, it will also die - why I have this purculier quirk.

Haven't been reading much, just hasn't kicked into action recently yet. Im real close to finishing Dostoyevsky but I'm getting slightly bored of the intelligent psychobabble if I must be honest.
