Unicorn Jelly.

Just sitting here at work and chilling out. The reaction I wanted to work this morning did, so that was good, and I've put on one or two others since. I joined the gym today, so hopefully that should stop me from getting bored on the weekends as well as giving me a chance to get fit again. For the first time in a while, I din't fall asleep straight after dinner last night, which tells me that the Androcur is finally wearing off after not having taken it for several days.

Positive proof that free food will attract people to seminars... *burp*

Today has been ok I guess. Last night I couldn't relly sleep much at all, which sort of says that my metabolism is starting to wake up again which is good. I have a meeting with my supervisor in about 40 minutes, so I figured I would chill out somewhat before. This evening at 5:30 pm there is a gym class which I'm hoping to attend, maybe I can coax my body back into some sort of respectability.

7:40 am - Friday 18th January 2002

Well, I finally made it to the gym at least.

According to my stars (forwarded to me by my friend Tim), I can finally look forward to some calm in my life (apparently Mars is moving out of my house). That is welcome, and in some regards true. I'm feeling more relaxed with the chemistry I'm doing, to the point where I'm finding it harder to justify spending weekends in the lab. Of course, this leads to the next question of "what to do with the spare time?" Well, at the moment the main option I'm looking at is getting back into RPG's (Role-Playing Games), however like most things in Miami, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of it (at least on the internet). I believe there is a Vampire LARP (Live Action Role Playing) at the University which convenient, however the whole Anne-Rice, gothic, death-centric games like that don't really thrill me. I much prefer Call of Cthulhu, where we're the good guys fighting against overwhelming odds. Oh well, I guess I'm a just a hard-core white-hat.
