Woke up with the most massive eyebags. Ah, well.

Not entirely sure how to proceed. I could work on the Test Anything Protocol spec for a while. Or on either Singapore.pm or my own much-neglected website. But I don't feel like working, especially not on a computer. Even I need some kind of break!

Other option: play Half Life 2. Yech. So boring. And besides, I'd like to conserve my "Xbox muscles" for playing Bioshock tonight.

So how? The weather's fine, I could go out photographing or something. Or just go for a walk. Or go and check out the photo exhibitions or something. Sigh.

Okay, time to reboot and turn off computer. I'll probably be back in the afternoon/evening sometime.

Dreamed of her again. Also: parents. Also: a beach. Something horrible happened, but I don't remember it at all.

All things considered; hmm, yeah. Not bad. Not awful, at any rate. I:

• Woke up late (but, y'know, late: 2pm-ish. Not 4-5pm-ish like y'day).
• Played Medieval II a lot: the empire was largely being worn down into the ground, although there was a brilliant bit where one of my armies took down, in rapid succession, three armies, each one just slightly smaller than mine (but with a horrible "mix" of troops, mostly footsoldiers, while I had plenty of cavalry as well as solid footsoldier ranks). At the moment, the Egyptians are advancing on Jerusalem, while the Germans are building up troops for a further assault on Zagreb, my northernmost and westernmost city (yes, I lost Venice yesterday, when I attacked the Germans and captured one of their cities, and was immediately and simultaneously attacked by the Milanese and the Sicilians). Still, if I can survive the upcoming attack on Jerusalem while holding my western cities together, I should be able to expand into Egypt and build up a really solid power base ... unless the Mongols get here too soon, obviously (they should be attacking the Turks by now). Ah, computer game madness. Weekend madnesses. Such, I suppose, is life.
• Then I went out running with the guys. Fun.
• After dinner, I came home and slept early, so that I could wake up in a few hours and do my laundry. Also successful.
• While laundry was spinning, I did some planning sketches for M1 and M3; M3 in particular is really sounding promising, if only I could figure out what to do with a set of files. Zip 'em, yes, but what else? Rename? Organise using MP3 ids? What?
• I also watched Lonely Planet Six Degrees: Rio de Janeiro. Later, I got to see a tiny bit of a BBC show on happiness.
• Then I practiced the guitar until my (left hand) fingers were numb.
• Now, just as the sun rises, I descend into oblivion. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll start sorting out my home-office issues, as well as deposit my UK money into the bank. I'm going to have to start cutting financial corners as much as possible for a while!

Still, I am starting to get over my butterflies a little now; figuring that when you've got to survive, you will do what you can to make it through. Let's see, let's see. This summer solstice should be pretty interesting for everybody.
