always lots to do forever

I went and got the book, a great bike ride and a good chance to listen to one of my favourite podcast: Raisin Man Arena.

After that I failed to do any real work on sizing and scoping my tasks. I got distracted looking into textmate grammars for a sentence length decorator VScode extension. Looks confusing, and complex, to the point that I might look into some other option. I considered modifying Left, and this is still I reckon a strong option. It doesn't have the file system access VScode has, but I wonder if I could build that in too? Need to put this through the wringer!

January is marching on with a pace, and there is lot's to do! Always lots to do, forever.

smashed brothers

We hung out with some guys and played a lot of smash brothers, it was pretty fun.

I've been secretly training up King Dedede as a main character. I brought him out a couple of times yesterday to get a feel for him with these guys. I didn't do too well but didn't do too badly either. Copped a couple of "Oh you're pretty good with Kind Dedede" but I brushed it off as luck and circumstance: "Oh I got lucky with his smash attacks and the big crowds". Hopefully by the end of Jan I'll have enough punch to give Luke a run for his money.

I find it hard to get back into the working mood after a big hangout like that, so I didn't do anything after everyone went home.

The working mood

I'm worried at my lack of work ethic, how long it takes for me to do so little. When I'm actually working on things I'm not too bad, but it feels like it takes me a lifetime to get my hands on the tools.

other books

I also got out How to Read a Poem by Malcom Hebron and Clear & Concise: Become a Better Business Writer by Susan McKerihan. Neither of the two have amazing reviews, just middle of the road, but they're both quite short so I don't think it'll do too much harm.

forgot to finish this one, what else to say?

I'm going to try to go no screens tonight, try to achieve a bit of focus, and then to relax. I'm borrowing my friend's old ipod, will see how that goes.

an idea

Not today, but tomorrow I might try writing even less, but actually rereading and editing what I write. I've had enough of writing badly. I re-read the description of the pita I had for dinner yesterday, prompted by a chat with my brother. Disgusting.
