A painful Monday

Recently, I decided to start entering running/walking events. This may not have been the wisest idea, but it was an idea and it was followed through. This has resulted in 3 races in the last four weeks. A 10km in 78 minutes, a 21 km in 172 minutes and a 15 km in 110 minutes. I am hoping to pull these times down further, particularly the 10 km one. should be able to get it under 60 minutes without too much effort, but we will see. There are a few more races happening in August, so we will judge improvement then.

Also, websites have fallen to the wayside. Lack of desire I guess, however will sort this out soon.

That is all

The week begins

so, after an eventful weekend containing pie, movies, and acquisition of gaming materials, the week has started again. But enough about the dreadful week and more about the exciting events.

Pie was outstanding. I could almost put up with longer winters if more pie was involved.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was watched. I enjoyed this more than the last one, but that may have been due to lower expectations. This was the worst book of the series so far and as such had lots that could be cut out to be turned into film. Expect a review of this later, hopefully this week, but no promises.

Icon was this weekend and I popped through for a look. As it turned it, it will become a very expensive look as a new gaming system rule book jumped off the shelf into my hands. I have decided that time needs to be made for gaming/painting and this will be done.

That's pretty much it. Hopefully some progress can be made on various things.

Monday and it's another update.

So, Monday as arrived again. No surprise there. And there is another update to the blog. Maybe a small surprise there, but it's been pretty regular recently.

So last week was a bit of a low patch. A couple of things went wrong, some more stuff went wrong, motivation went away, and then even more things went wrong. So not much useful happened.

This has now changed. Websites will start being updated with more frequency, articles will be written more regularly, and a final attempt at the wine stain venture will be made.

Also, a decision was reached to do more 10 km event type things, which should hopefully lead into running more often. but we will have to see.

Finally, an idea was had on Friday. Following halfhaggis's semi successful Nanowrimo last year I have decided to attempt it this year. Nanowrimo happens in November. For me, I am not going to just write a novel, I am going to use it as a fundraiser to raise money for Animals in Distress. What I will be trying to get is pledges for every thousand words. So basically, if you pledge 1 rand per thousand words, and I hit the target, you will have to donate 50 rand to Animals in Distress. I will try and write the novel episodically and post it on a blog. This will hopefully allow me to get it to a larger audience than just people I know. So, let me know what you think.

That is All

Wow, look at that, Monday

I've had a few problems in the last week with silly things. Stuff like being banned by Google Adsense, the napkins used in the plonc experiment starting to grow mold, and so on. This led to a large decrease in motivation to do anything. Hence there are no updates planned for today or any other time this week.

However, I will not let this setback stop me from publishing the websites, I will just let it delay me for a short period. So, once I have got motivation back, there will be some more movies reviewed, some more recipes, some more stain fixing experiments, and even some more websites.

Also, the first photo on photoprojects has been posted. Check it out here.
