so far...

So far today has been good. I have been very busy, though not always on my work stuff...

*I went for my run and managed two miles in 20 mins! wooo! was tired but a good run and got some speed going.

*My friend wants to go hiking with me on Sunday. Hurray!

*I have joined the free trial of lovefilm (14 days) and have got some DVDs lined up for my impending period of solitude: a boxset of Spaced (which was out originally when I was a bit young to appreciate it but think I will now. In fact I am probably onlder than they re meant to be now... !)) and the first Prime Suspect, as I haven't seen any but the last one and it was amazing! I also ordered Heroes boxset 2 but will watch that with DB...

*I got my new running top from ebay! £4.50 it was and it's great and I feel quite the business in it. DB is rather a fan too... Running does amazing things to one's physique I have to say...

*I got the Dexter DVD for my ma's beeday. She hasn't seen it but I know she will like it muchly.

*I also found the lego star wars game I was begging to get a wii for yesterday - but on PS2! After some deliberation I decided to splash out the £10 needed to purchase it and have decided to use it to bribe myself to work with. I really want to play this game. A LOT (I know, I know). And chill and be childish on a computer. But to do this properly and really enjoy my time off I can't be worried about work. And so I will make sure that I am on the second segment of this chapter before I am allowed on it. I shan't want to go on it before - this is a very strict rule that will be enforced. And thinking of this game makes me very pleased !! so I will work hard to play it. I can't believe how sad and immature I sound. But I will say this: a) I have always been a big fan of platform games like sonic and mario, but never had the time nor inclination as an adult to try and play the new ones. Nor would I know what is any good. and b) I am a bit obsessive and once I set my mind on something or want something it doesn't go away easily, and my love of it won't wane but will grow and grow until I pop! It didn't make me a very easy child. Or adult for that matter. I think perhaps it could be linked to the control freakery?!! I want it NOW, THIS WAY! LIKE THIS! hehe. I am nice really. ?!

I ramble.

So. I have managed to get myself out on Sunday, with a PhD friend, so I won't be sat moping around the house feeling lonely when DB has gone (whenever he is going. He can't organise anything or commit to anything in advance for some reason. Is a nightmare for me, trying not to puppet him all the time and tell him what he is doing...!). I have got DVDs to keep myself entertained and not feeling lonely, which I shall supplement with chips and dips and have my own partay. I have got a computer game to get me back into work-mode proper (of all things. Really). And I have a five mile and a six mile run to achieve, and a hike. So in the main I should stay out of trouble.

Phew!

I better do soem more work. Oh yes, I did work solidly for an hour this morning! Pitiful, but something. And guess what I worked on? Guess. Go on.

Yes! My introduction. Hot diggity this is going to be the best goddarn intro anyone ever saw, mark my words!

Intros are very important though? To focus one's mind and remind one of what one is trying to blinkin well talk about when you're halfway through it?

probably not *that* important I hear you say.

Well you're wrong. Humph.
