Im going off the rails on a crazy train - 12:56 PM
This week has been all about learning the public transport system. And how it sucks.Work
Well I got a lot done, not as much as i should have, but yeah got stuff done. I got an assay to work, but really need to do it again to show how sensitive I can get it. I have seen more gene accession numbers in the last week than I care to. They were all blending together.
Social
Has been hard as I am learning the joys of commuting. I used to have a 30sec commute - now it is 1hr. Which involves walking to the train, catching the train and walking to work. The problem is the train time tables suck. So I have to catch the 8am train in the morning and the 6pm train at night. If only there was a 5.20 train... but there is. It just doesn't stop at my stop. In the last week of using the train system it has not been working three days. Six days i have gone to use the train and on three of them it hasn't been running or has broken down with me on it. It annoys me that Aucklanders get told it would be better if we used the public transport system...... Then get us one that works. But on Friday night I went to Kelly's and played WarioWare with her. Was good. Then yesterday we went to J-Day in Albert Park. Would have been better with nicer weather. But yeah.
Oh and insurance will pay out for the TV to have stuff. And I am getting a new cell phone, some where out there is a K750i that is lost and homeless. If you find it make sure you feed it well and give it lots of love. I miss you K750i. Hopefully my phoneless will not last for long.
WoW
I actually played some yesterday just for the sake of playing did some quests and enjoyed the game for the games sake. Was really nice, and rather relaxing.
Being a better person
With all the train catching I have been exercising lots. I haven't weighted myself so not sure if it is working. But yeah walking about an hour a day has to be good right?
Books and stuff
Reading the same book. But last night I went and saw
Pathfinder.
Which was OK. It is the first movie I have seen where each shot was really really well composed and just a beautiful photo, didn't work so well as a movie. The budget looked very small, and that would explain a lot of what they did. If you don't catch it at the movies, I wouldn't worry to much can easily see it at home. Doesn't have the big action scenes that need a movie theatre."What if we're still doin' this when we're 50?"
