Dont try to wake me in the morning - 1:43 PM
It seemed like I was half asleep all this week. I brought a lawn mower and a compost bin. I feel like an adult now. We also got some really nice deck chairs.Work
Last week was interesting, as some of you may know I have two bosses, and last week they had a disagreement over what i should be doing. It got sorted, but yes not as much fun as I would have liked. So last week I did ELISA which although a useful technique is boring as hell and consumes large amounts of time. I need to do some work on my paper though.
Social
Yay after my rant last week, the diet club has decided to start being fun again. 
So on Friday we played pool and table tennis, the pool game took forever and the table tennis was good. But unlike pool you get worse as you have more beers. Then we all got table tennis sharked by the CEO of our company. He played a lot when he was a kid. Then on Saturday night Briar and I went to the netball. Now normally I am not a netball fan, but I had been given tickets to a corporate box with an open bar and 2 course meal. And well I am in science - we don't get freebies like that. So rocked along and it was great, we got scorned at by the people there for the netball as we were deciding who was a good player based on their favorite TV programme. 
Briar drank 2 bottles of wine, maybe 3. And was starting get get that surreal feeling about it all. But watching netball is a lot more interesting than playing it. The meal was really nice too. Oh and the mid game intertainment was Suzanne Paul doing ballroom dancing. Some one should tell her red statin is not flattering.

Patch 2.1 came out in World of Warcraft and had some interesting changes. Most importantly it had the druid epic flight form quest. But I need 5k gold to be able to got the quest. So have been grinding gold and that. Almost have my funny antelope thing. Maybe next week.
I have also clocked all the games on my cellphone except The Birds, 
which is so crazy hard i don't think I will be clocking it any time soon.

Last week Nick was starting early so I was getting a lift to the train, what a mistake. My days felt like they got to a slow start and i was drinking hot chocolates to wake me up. So I put I weight. Next week. Going to try and do a week meal plan today.
Books and stuff
I went and saw Spiderman 3
I went and saw Spiderman 3
during the week, which was Hummm. It was long, longer than it needed to be and the best stuff was right at the start and right at the end. But I did enjoy it. Not sure I enjoyed 140min of it, as I know I looked at my watch a few times. Reading Boy 
by Roald Dahl again. If you have not read his autobiography, you should as it is a damn good read. Yesterday we went to Gotham Comics, and picked up a couple of new additions to our slowly growing collection. My favorite is Hellboy, 
Mike Mignola's art work is very strong and I enjoy the way he tells stories. Vol. 6 has been released 5 years after vol. 5. It was really good to see where he is going with the story.

Which has nice art work and an average story. Rally a bit of fluff - but enjoyable fluff.

Well I haven't done anything - but my guilt level is rising. So at any point now it will have risen to a level where i will do something.
