Round 1
Played my first day of cricket for the season yesterday. It went pretty well. I opened the batting-- something I do occasionally but not all the time-- and scored 36 runs. For me, in the last couple of seasons, that's pretty good. My team scored 6 declared for 233. That's pretty good as well. And the opposition are 4 for 44 or something similar. That's good too-- for us (though I bowled a couple of overs and helped the opposition more than my own team). Unfortunately the opposition is made up entirely of guys under 18 years of age. I don't think we can judge the entire competition on them. Oh well. I'm still hurting...
After that, went to Heather's for a house warming movie night. Watched Buckaroo Banzai-- sort of anyway. More time was spent with people making smart arse comments about the cheesy dialog, bad acting and crazy story ("Buckaroo, the president wants to know if you sorted out the alien problem, or should he just go ahead and annihilate Russia?"-- may have paraphrased a bit there...). Then Napolean Dynamite and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Napolean was pretty good. Lots of very funny situations/scenes but laked a bit in the area of actual plot. Bill and Ted was a great as ever. "Hello royal ugly dudes."
I've done about 12,ooo words of my novel. Just into chapter 3. Is going along nicely. I've also added to my blog novel... Go and read it people. Comment.
I seem to be on a bit of bit of a diet or health kick or something at the moment. I haven't eaten chocolate in about 3 weeks (except for last night-- blame Heather for that) and have only drunk water in the same period. I don't need to be on a diet in terms of weight-- adding some wouldn't go astray, actually, and my cholesterol is low so... The real test will come on monday when I am supposed to go for a run. I was actually supposed to go on friday, but there were storm clouds and... stuff. It could have been dangerous... Well, that's my story and i'm sticking to it. I also have a home gym type but a bad back has been my excuse for not using that. Last year I also had fluid on my shoulder which basically meant I couldn't move my arm for a couple of days. Need pain killing injections in the joint and stuff to make it go away. Wasn't fun. And when I do too much with my arm it still hurts (though not as bad as it did, thank god.) I will exercise none the less. You just prove if I don't.

Yeah, yeah, blame me. Ever heard the expression "Just say 'no'"? :-P
Besides, 100g of dark chocolate per day is supposed to have health benefits. Antioxidants and stuff. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. hehe.
