Egglicious

So blogy faithful, it's that time of morning again when I inform you of my daily activities. To begin with let's talk about juice. I really like juice - this may be an effect of disliking soft drink with a passion, but even so - it kicks arse! Apple and Blackcurrant juice is the culprit this evening, with around 7-8 glasses, but Orange Juice is another prime time appearance. It makes me wonder how wine can taste so bad - it's basically the same idea. Ah well, no time to ponder such life changing questions, let's get on to some lighting fast bursts of my interesting, daily activities.

 That beret... is horrible

I awoke at around noon, despite my proclaimed 9am wake up, that I declared on D.I.D (a group blog, with an unclear purpose and general lack of themes, much like this one - but occasionally entertaining) yestereve. One of the main disadvantages of waking up around noon is you become confused about meal times. "Do I eat breakfast, or do I eat lunch?", I hear my body say. "I don't know", comes my reply and together, we stand looking at the pantry shelves open the fridge two or three times, until eventually we find a hardboiled egg, from the day before and eat it. That's the great thing about egg, you can consider it any type of meal. Yes, even desert. Bring on the cakes. It's simply a wonderful piece of food, and because of its aforementioned versatility, I didn't feel guilty when I returned about an hour later, for some Vitabrits.

Don't feel guilty at all. Nup.

I think you know you've wasted time, when you can't remember what you spent time doing - and that's exactly what ensued after breakfast. It involved the Internet (most likely Facebook and YouTube) - but anything that involves the Internet and can't be recalled is a waste of time. I did play some guitar afterwards though and learnt the main bass line of "Jungle Groove" from Donkey Kong Country. Damn, it's catchy. However I didn't play anything particularly breath taking, nor enlighten my audience (which was Christoph for all of 2 minutes). After that I had a shower. It was a good shower, and it involved music. Mum had given me a ring a while earlier, saying she'd be home around 2.45pm, as we were to head over to Knox, so I could get my eyes checked at Specsavers and pic up some new glasses. My shower ended at 2.30pm, so I leisurely took my time as I dressed. Mid-way through said dressing, Mother rings, informing me she's practically already home, and wants me to meet me on the street. Great time estimating skills Mum.

So anyway once we'd found a park and Mum stopped complaining about a really slow driver, we arrived at Specsavers and after a couple of minutes waiting, one of the receptionists did some strange test. I look inside a standard eye testing scope thingo, but it had hot air balloons as the imagery. Very weird. She then informed me that the Optometrist would call me when she was ready, and I could go look at frames and what not. I found a nice pair of sunnies, nice and black, but sturdy too - and decided they'd be the go. Then Sanja, the wonderful Optometrist, began my test. It was pretty standard. Two lens strengths, "which one is clearer? Or about the same?" Nothing new there. My eyes have degraded a little, I've gone down another 0.25, bringing me to a -1.25. Nothing too serious, and probably a combination of expected deterioration with age, and enhanced perception which comes with mental maturity. After that picked up two pairs of glasses (2 for the price of 1), but they won't be ready for around 2 weeks. However, photos and comments will ensue shortly after their arrival.

When I arrived home, I'm once again not sure what I did - and therefore it was a waste of time. I probably surfed the net a bit, posted on Vooks and chillaxed to some awesome video game remixes. Eventually, Dad arrived and he took me down to Shell for some petrol. That was very kind of him. Unfortunately, the pump was acting up and I got petrol on the side of the car, but that's hardly the end of the world. Upon returning home, I got going with some Super Luigi Galaxy (I have 57 stars to go before I begin Super Mario Galaxy 2) and then I completely re-did the layout/theme of both this blog and The Game Over Blog - they both look delicious now.

I then spoke to my wonderful girlfriend Kim, who wasn't in the best of moods - and despite my best efforts, her mood did not improve much. It's difficult not being able to just be by her side, but I'm committed to holding on until it's easier for both of us. Eventually things will turn out fine, we just have to stay positive and keep chipping away at the mountain the separates us. The important thing to remember is - mountains are climbable. No matter how tall they appear. I finally got to sleep around 4am, which wasn't very ideal and I'm hoping to rectify this tomorrow (which as of writing, is now tonight - however I woke up at 2pm, which won't help).

So pretty <3 (Kim, not me)
