travis' brain dump

happy easter to everyone… whatever it means for you. 🙂

Been staring at the update for FFXI and talking to my mom for the last 20-40 minutes…  Finally it’s done just as I find something to do to occupy some time… I’m so restless right now agitated, bothered, annoyed, whatever… heh. The weather sucks outside, I got absolutely nothing done today and the combination with other things has left me feeling kinda useless. oh yeah and Arwen feels like crap and is whiny…  one or the other folks, one or the other… So frustrating.  All that’s left… playing FFXI I guess.

I don’t even know why I’m writing a blog right now or planning on playing FFXI, kinda don’t feel like doing either… Mike is supposedly coming up later… perhaps we’ll come up with something to do. I need to train him on his blogsite so maybe we’ll do that… i’m so wiped out and tired too… ugh… this sucks. I don’t really feel like doing anything.

Guess I should stop doing this and talk to my mom… I feel like an awesome son… heh

wireless networking, a good laptop and a good warm bed. makes for a pretty good start to a day i guess… it’s cold and crappy outside… but it seems to be getting better. i was hoping it would clear up enough and be warm enough for a hike later today, but i don’t know if that will work… it’s just the calm before the storm. it would appear winter is paying us another visit tonight in the form of low temps and measurable snow. yay… hmph.

anyway… think i’ll just continue to lay here with tatter (kitty) until i think of something productive to do or something comes up that is more interesting.

surf eBay for stuff you don’t really need while listening to some rather interesting industrial genre music. 🙂

No, really – I’ve actually been working today – aside from setting up Mike’s blog but that only took a few minutes. 🙂 I actually didn’t even take lunch today I was so busy. Just glad I had a cup of noodles to eat … Either way, this project is going to be interesting. Everything almost has equal priority and that is a problem seeing as how I’m only going to get so much to set aside for resources to do this thing. Oh well. Enough with work already!!!

I need to go workout again tonight. I’ve got to stay on top of this and keep going until I’ve gotten into the habit again. It’s amazing how at one point in time I would readily get up at 6am to go hit the gym before work and now, the thought of waking up before 7:45 truly disturbs me. I’ll get there, just need to stay on top of it. At least I’ve got my schedule pretty worked out. Tues, Thurs & Saturday (falling back on spare time on Sunday or Friday if Saturday won’t work out) That’s just for muscle work though – cardio has to become a 5-6 day thing if it’s going to work the way I want it to. At least I’m starting to trade out some fat for muscle again. I’m fluctuating on my weight pretty steadily now with minor gain. I don’t expect too much difference for a few more weeks, but the balance and bouncing back and forth is a good sign that my body is starting to align itself. *crosses fingers* I’ve got to get retoned in the next 6-7 weeks … If things are looking well by week 5, I might just enter the Bolder Boulder again… I haven’t done that since the first year I got here so it’s a nice goal for me if I can get myself back in shape from a cardio perspective by then. At least I’ve got someone who will encourage the continued exercise rather than keep me from it. 🙂 Speaking of cardio, ugh, I’ve got to do a full session tonight since I didn’t get to go on my walk today. *grumble* It’s kinda crappy weather outside so I’m subject to a treadmill or something of the sorts. I loathe equipment for cardio training.

Side note, I wonder if my server at home is smoking … *grin* I’m doing quite possibly the most music conversion sessions I’ve ever done right now… the processor is pegged at 100% and has been in such a state for the last 45 minutes … with 1 hour to go. LOL I fully expect to roll home and see a fire truck in front of my house. 😀

So… I guess I should wrap some things up before getting out of here. 🙂
