BLOURNAL
Here we go again…
Well… here we are again. It’s a Friday night and I’m sitting in the pub trying to write a blournal entry when I should be socializing with the good folk around me. Probably would’ve started writing sooner but I’ve spent the past few hours playing through Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal (or Ratchet & Clank 3 as it’s referred to as here in the UK). Most of my time being spent doing… you guessed it, gladiator battles.
A random blournal entry about yesterday’s not-so-exciting activities, video games, sports and politics, etc.
So yesterday I went and got myself another hair and beard trim. After that, I went door-to-door around the parish selling tickets for an upcoming annual barbecue that’s happening this Sunday and finally, I closed out the night by whupping Captain Kwark’s ass in Ratchet and Clank. Probably not the productive use of my time but all in all, a pretty good day regardless.
The end of another weekend (and the continuing FUBARing of my body clock)
Hello once again…
Right now, I’m currently sitting in the local pub debating with myself over whether or not to stay up and watch the England v. Mexico match this morning. Given that I’ve pretty badly FUBAR’d my body clock as of late — and playing Ratchet and Clank until well after half-two in the morning didn’t exactly help matters — it’s probably not advisable, but at the same time, I do wanna keep a bit of a closer eye on sporting events going forward. Even if I’m not necessarily a fan, I know it makes for good conversation in the local parish.
An insomniac’s brief thoughts on the Insomniac Spider-Man games…
I’ve spent the last couple of nights finishing up the main story campaign and collecting all the trophies — aside from the New Game Plus trophy, which I’ll get somewhere down the line — in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, so it’s easy to why I haven’t been much sleep as of late. Sitting at a laptop typing up blournal entries at well after two in the morning certainly doesn’t help matters either, but I want to try and strike while the iron’s… relatively hot.
Looks Like I’ll Be Seeing Jump Ropes In My Dreams Tonight
Well, it took me more than a few tries but I finally managed to obtain the “Jump Rope Genius” power moon in Super Mario Odyssey.
TLC Overload
The anxiety still lingers about ever so slightly, so to make up for that, I’m trying to give myself a little bit of extra TLC… although don’t worry, I’m still working out at the local hub.
I’ll Add It To The List, Vol. 1
Anybody remember that bit in Captain America: The Winter Soldier where our boy, Cap, says “I’ll add it to the list”. Even though nobody has spent decades in ice (as far as I know), I think we can all relate to that line.
Focus (or lack thereof)
I'm still feeling a bit directionless but getting out on the bike earlier today did help to alleviate some of that frustration and ennui I’m currently facing.
First Day of 2025
I had a fun time in Lavery's Bar last night. I drank, I sang, I danced, I talked plenty of shite and I may also have taken a few glasses of Baileys after the clock hit midnight.
