Old Habbits Die Hard

With all the best intentions I promised myself that I would post at least once a week however I've found myself running out of things to post about and time in which to post my short ramblings. So with this in mind I am going to do a slightly longer post this morning on the way to work (though it will probably publish later rather than sooner as I don't have wifi access on the train).

Let's see what has happened lately, to be honest I don't remember my last post so I will just list some of the random things that I have experienced in the past few weeks.

Yesterday was. Bit of a relief as a big job I was working on turned into a much smaller job as a lot of the updates that I needed to make turned out to be  not needed.

Last Friday was an experience, I dressed as super mario for the day for movember, this is a charity that specialises in male cancers, and I travelled to Manchester, to the doctors, back to manchester, then to work and finally to a Katie Price book signing. It was quite the day but I managed to raise £35 and as a team we raised over £350!

Also at the docs I was given the astounding news that all my problems are because I am over weight and if I want to solve the sleep apnea, depression or the abnormal liver function then all I need to do is lose weight easier said than done in my experience but I will try.

To which end I was convinced by a friend to try aerobic DVDs, I got hold of the biggest loser DVDs and started them last night, I managed a whole 15 minute workout before I felt like I was going to die but I am sure that I will make it further and further if I keep at it. Also the same friend is taking me ice scaring next week, something that I haven't done before so I am just a little nervous.

Last Thursday I had my friend Chris over to watch some movies as there wasn't much on at the cinema for us last week. We managed the first two girl with the dragon tattoo movies which I really enjoyed even though they were a little dark in parts.

As I am nearly at work I am going to have to cut this short however I cannot end this post without mentioned the latest game I have been playing/beta testing.

Star Wars:The Old Republic.

This is perhaps one of the best MMO's I have played in a long time and a real contender for world of warcraft. All the quests are voice acted and you are given the choice to answer the quest in different ways so each players experience in the game is completely different. also you get companions as you progress through the game who help you in combat, crafting or even gathering. Not only that but they each have their own personalities and back stories.

I am really looking forward to the full release of this game and can see it absorbing what little time I have at the moment.

Until next time take care Jim
