Went to the gym easly yesterday morning, 0200 until 0330, I was the only person there for the whole period!

I worked hard, lots of weights machines and stuff, and when arms & chest couldn't take it anymore I took a break by doing 60 situps, I went on the running machine and sprinted for a few km. It was eerie... getting a steaming hot shower in a building that was so quiet I knew the noise of the shower could be heard everywhere!

But, the gym here is pretty good, better than the one back where I work in Germany!

2am-3am in the gym... I was the only person there... I done an overload circuit on biceps/pects, with an occasional reprieve on the crunch machine. Done some standard weights.

If only I'd do that more often! 'Cos I'm on night shift tomorrow I will stay up tonight in order to sychronize sleep pattern (real reason: I like the night!).

I slept most of Sunday... stayed up late Sat night though. For a few hours I was actually just sat in the dark thinking about life and stuff... didn't light any candles, because I've ran out of black ones! Just lighting white ones feels really dumb and pointless and silly.

I got a nice long shower, a lot of which also included SMSing a friend, I am now sat here wondering what the point of getting dressed (more than a towel) when it's no longer cold!

Thought of the hour: Foooooood!

Good night...

Sneaking around cooking at 5am... *was hungry*

Beans, bread, hash browns and potato waffles. Yummy... grill the latter 2 sets of items (3 of each). Do the washing up. Put beans in microwave and finish washing up.

Wait... as I went to get the beans my careful and quiet operation came a cropper. Beans... tins of beans... everywhere. I caught one of them. I've never heard such a noise.

I froze on the spot after the noise had stopped, and watched one desperate tin roll slowly along the kitchen floor before coming to rest. Oops. The one that rolled away wasn't the most amusing one though.

I finished the washing up to find the most amusing tin of beans in the bottom of the foamy washing up water. A bit soggy. I then realized that that was the reason that the tops, and my top, were covered in little bubbles. Before realizing that, I must have thought the bubbles had made an independent (but co-ordinated) getaway along with the beans.

I restored order. I sneaked up the stairs with yummy food, hoping the slight creaking wouldn't wake anyone up.

Listening To: "Changes" by Girls Under Glass

I only got up an hour ago, at 9pm... when I have nothing to do during the day my sleeping pattern inevitably becoems nocturnal. Also my circadium rhythm seems to be about 30 hours long, so after a few nocturnal days I'll get up and not sleep for 2 days and "reset" my pattern back to nighttime life.

Advantage: Nocturnal is very yummy lifestyle. "I write by candlelight"

Disadvantage: My feet get cold if I don't bother to put socks on.

Productive:
The more code you write and resuse the faster everything gets done! Especially when you're an organisation-freak like me... and can find all those bits of code with speed!
theoptimist has proved to be the fast learner I hoped he would... he's on a big project now, and doing it all on his own, and well! I didn't have to train him much at all! Kieran and Opto (the 2 guys I'm training ATM) are both developing skills of their own (beyond mind)... Kieran in databases and clever SQL magic, and Opto in design/GUI.


Current issue in life: Living arrangements.

Current Sleep Status: I'm sleep deprived but for very good reasons! The current Demon-Of-Not-Sleep is an angel! Happy Vexen :-)
On that confusing note... bye!

Listening To: Wumpscut - "Black Death"

"Vexen I couldn't imagine staying up all night especially after drinking"

:-)

But I can.... because I was listening to Ultraviolence CD, and that kind of nasty hardcore techno is conducive to a re-firing of all the neruones in your brain, as all your limbs bounce and twitch in time to the Ultraviolence Experience you find yourself writing emails at speeds you've never typed before!

Listening To: "Superpower" by Ultraviolence

I hate it when morning comes around, I've been up all night, but I can't for the life of me remember what I've been doing, and I have only got a dozen little (insignificant) website updates to show for it.
