Today I was working from home and playing on my iPad. It's growing on me is that iPad. I've got a samurai game which I'm hooked on which was great because there is quite a bit of down time between compiling code, re-building etc... so in actual fact I think I worked more than usual, far beyond the usual cut of that is 17:30.

It's 2 weeks until my next 10km run in Kent which is very cool indeed, I love running. Had a pizza for Dinner, took it with me to the bath and leaned the box on the clothes basket and munched pizza while in the bath. I liked it, nothing like doing something just because you want to and can!

Latestly (lately and lastly) I've been watching angry cats furiously conveying their thoughts at vets trying to give them their routinely jabs. Sounds like a daemon rock band at times! Turned the heating on, which isn't really news but this isn't really a new website so whatever: i think it's cold enough now to warrant it as I'm not afraid to get out of bed in the mornings anymore!

Stumbled apon a channel on YouTube while searching the keyword South Africa and came across a guy who was very spoken out about the issues in South Africa, from his attitude, motivations and passion I felt it rather telling of how various things in reality affect people in South Africa. The guys name was R3INDI3R like in the animal, I guess.

One of the cool things about working from home other than drinking your coffee out your own mug, for me anyway, is having my guitar around to play a few notes between work intervals. Someone said to me that music stimulates the brain constructively, not that that was why I was strumming on the guitar but that the subconscious 'works' well with the variety of complex and alternating sounds that is the very nature of music. I only mention it because maybe I got less dumb from 'twinging' and 'twanging' away at it. Probably not, I'd anything I got stupider'er'er.....hai gee gosh?

I'm seeing so many practical benefits in going to bed early. I feel brighter, clearer, more attentive - its probably one of those things you have to realise yourself enough to do it I suppose. Realised that I'm near my birthday, I like my birthday for some odd reason. There wont be anything outwardly rewarding about it however on the day it feels mighty fine to feel that it belongs and is dedicated, as far as I'm concerned that is - mainly to and because of me!!

Oh, went to the dentist on Monday - my tooth broke again, had to take another mould. It's like the 3rd on we've done on this tooth. Love chatting up the receptionists at the dentist, dunno why. They get bored, who wouldn't right? Fact for the day: Sent flowers once to a girl I met at reception,, I even got to walk her home, twice but she was a bit strange, I must confess.

Still playing Gears Of War 3 once in a while, I figure after about 2 months ill be done but that's at a casual, play-when-I-feel-like-it way. It's so much like GOW2 it's a little disappointing - I expect a sequel to be different from the prior one, that's when know and can tell which ones better.

Oh and another thing, if like me you gym or are active and run and your cool new running shied eats your nipples, don't be an idiot like me and put plasters on them before you run. Taking them off is unbelievably, excruciatingly, mind-numbingly, eye-twitchingly and butt-clenchingly painful. Probably pure entertainment for a bystander.

Thats aboud it, foget aboud it!

Smashingly good night of sleep. I woke up at 5am and went to bed sub 12 which is rather good. I even had breakfast this morning which is me just being oh-look-at-me I have extra time. I found that I should not wake up twice as second time 'round I don't wake up quite as good the first time - I lost 30 minutes as I hit the snooze button this morning. Still had plenty of time.

Woke up at 14:00 yesterday afternoon, contemplated just what was there to be done that day and losing hope that the day was all but lost, I rolled over and saw my book. That was a relief. Read that in bed for the rest of the day.

I have just one question today, Why do cows make so much milk? I mean who do they make it for if not for humans, which they don't - sure for their calfs but do they really need that much milk? I'd they do, damn. Maybe they need more milk because they are bigger creatures. Human mothers dont make near as much milk as Cows but then again we're small in comparison. I don't know but that question hit me this morning as I poured milk into my cereal bowl.

I'm pretty keen to go on holiday soon but my folks are not around in the next month and I want some sun. I guess I could just take the time off and chill out in the UK? I don't want to visit anyone else.

After that programming side project that I got to which interfaces with a software based PBX and work, I'm yearning for another distraction. I'm also keen to write an app that I saw on the big screen which shows you which websites you're visiting - but remotely. I've written some agent before to record web traffic URLs - if I can just play those into Watin.Core - job done! But I might just not do it...

I've realised that I'm not keen on the smell of Fur coats, real ones - I'm sitting next to one and it smells like it should, I guess, but I don't like it. And last week believe it or not, again I sat next to one - I hope Fur coats are not in season!

I'm currently infatuated with Mila Kunis and here is a fun fact she's originally Czech. Also Im thinking about a strange thing just now while listening to Blondie... Debbie Harry never got married, unbelievable - she has always had a beautiful allure to herself. Makes you wonder really. Makes me wonder.

Read something insanely scary the other day that said your 200% more likely to develop cancer if you don't sleep well. Thats worked me right up and now I'm taking a post new years resolution to be in bed by 21:00 which will give me that 8 hours. God that's scary but makes absolute sense, unfortunately and if I was going to go, cancer, I'm almost positive, is the way I will go.
