Revelations

I'm not entirely sure what I would like to blog about today. Nothing is particularly annoying me, so it won't be a rant. Neither is anything exciting me above the usual, so perhaps it will just be a meandering, waffly sort of post.

I had an impromptu baseball training session today. There was no game on due to the long weekend, but Oz and Rob decided to go down to the fields and train with anyone who showed up. Of course, having never managed to actually HIT the ball in a game, I thought I could use all the training that was on offer.

My shoulder is now killing me, and I'm still vaguely unclear on a lot of the game mechanics, but I did learn something valuable today...

I can bat. Not in a frightening new-baseballer-prodigy kind of way, but in a solid, over the heads of outfielders kind of way. It was pretty pleasing - I was sure that I would be destined to play the entire season and only have strikes against my name. *Not* something you want when you're playing in a super good team. Anywho, it was a great feeling knowing that I'm not a total fuckup at my newly embraced pastime.

I have also spent the long weekend sleeping (have mercy on my tired tired brain), eating my newly purchased groceries, watching the Catherine Tate Show and reaquainting myself with how to make origami cranes. Long weekends should happen more often. I actually feel rested for the first time in weeks. I have been running on a hideously large sleep defecit, coffee and nutritionally poor meals due to my no down time.

Therefore, I now aim to take slightly better care of myself. Not much, because that would be unrealistic, but small things. Only 1 major drinking night a week (if that), more meals with some veges in them, a daily vitamin tablet (too big to swallow usually), and a maximum of 2 coffees a morning (one large at 8am, one small at 9am). These goals are easily attainable, I know it.

In other news, I completely suck at playing Halo 3 on Legendary. There are 3 out of the 10 levels which are continually kicking my ass. Tsavo Highway, Cortana and Halo. I don't know when to give up for good though, because that Legendary achievement is haunting my gaming spirit.

Also, it has stopped raining after 16 (I think) straight days.
