Well, it's been a while since I updated. Every time I have gone to write a new post, I look at the last one, and decide that I'm being to frivolous or it would be disrespectful to post something whingeing about how much I hate writing my thesis, or about how awesome Japan was, or even what's doing with my career.
But bugger it - it's time to get back to updating this more often. Not because I feel like I should. But because I want to.
OK. So. What's happening in my life right now...
First and foremost (at least theoretically), I am writing my thesis. It's a very slow process, and I have learned how truly lazy I can be. I have good days, where I work well, and can get 15-20 pages written in a day. This is followed by several bad days, when I think about those 15-20 pages, and what a good job I have done, and play more Zack & Wiki, Zelda, Cooking Mama, or whatever else I seem to do that takes up all of my time. Then I realise that that last "good day" was about a week ago, and I have just wasted days and days of time I'm going to need later. Then I panic, have another "good day" and continue the cycle. I'm so frustrated with myself! But I am slowly getting better, and have almost finished two (out of about 9) chapter. And one of them is the biggest (probably) of my chapters.
NExt thing that springs to mind is weight loss. It's sad, but I went to an endocrinologist, who recommended that "people like me" often go quite well on the Tony Ferguson Weight loss program. So I've started that (eating lots of veggies, 1 serve protein per day, and two special shakes), and it's going pretty well. I do feel like I've got lots of energy, and I lost 5 kg in the first week. Problem is, though, that Fletch and Sam are not on the TF diet. And so they can eat whatever they want (which is generally what *I* want), and they torment me daily with their bread. So on Day 12 of the diet, I am almost ready to snap! But I have another weigh in on Wednesday, and if it's good news then I'll have a but more motivation to keep going. I hope!
What else... ahhh, the future. I got a cool job offer from Melbourne that I think it too good to pass up, and Melbourne is an easier move than overseas, which was the alternate next step for me. So I've pretty much accepted the job, and I'll be moving to Melbourne (permanently this time) sometime later in the year. After thesis. Which will be finished sometime. Don't you love solid plans.
In less important news, Sam and I bought a HUGE flat screen HD TV. It's well bigger than we actually thought we wanted, and considering it's pretty much a vehicle to play MGS4 on, it's ridiculous. But we really like it, and we're happy with our purchase. And a thinkgeek box just arrived this morning, so we are knee-deep in Nintendo paraphenalia and gadgets.
OK, now thesis time.
