This is what the week had been leading up to! If not for a forced computer restart (yet another one), and finally getting around to seeing those two AMVs, I'm certain I'd have nailed it! Of course, next week will be another story, depending on how well I can hold things up.

The Daily Show, still the masters!:

Pushing the Limits . . .

Three hours past Ideal Time . . .

I really slipped; I just had to floss last night, first time in a while, ended up making me late, and I don't regret it. Did a little more messaging that needed this morning, and then I just had to go for a walk on what was already a Brain Age Day . . . though it certainly helped clear my mind. Anyway, a lot of time was used up, as I just kept pushing the limits. The limits pushed today will hopefully make tomorrow a lot clearer.

Speaking of pushing limits, a lot of that going on in Denver, and that is certainly not to be regretted!

I'm hoping to get off a long walk today; I'll mention it in an update-edit if I pull it of . . .

Last night I did finally finish off the last of the pre-Olympics Late Show with David Lettermans stored in my main DVR; whatever's said about TiVo, my RePlay's still the best as far as I'm concerned; my cable-company-provided DVR may be a POS, but it still gets the job done . . .

After another early wake-up, the dreaded "boulders" kicked in, (where my body suddenly feels like a boulder). Yeah, I got to bed a bit late last night, but I guess I'm still not fully ready for Ideal Time. My first long walk in a while certainly didn't help, though it will in the long run (no pun intended).; as sore as my muscles are, this makes the tougher. Maybe next week, though things will get tough with part of the household in Peru.

Yes, I'll say it, I'm 32 and still live with my parents; things are a bit messy for me right now, but I still hope to get a job and move into an apartment in due time. Well, with only me in this fairly big house, there's a lot more to do; as I said, "Lose Some" . . .

Yeah, people go through far worse, something I know as someone coming from Peru, but things got pretty messed up last night. Basically, everything that was supposed to work, (specifically on my main computer) didn't; not that it mattered, as I got what I was supposed to do then done today. Pretty boring day otherwise, even for a Monday.

The Olympics have certainly cleared my TV schedule, not just with NBC making room, but the other networks putting filler on (reruns and old movies) knowing they'll be crushed in the ratings. Michael Phelps making history should be interesting, as another step was apparently taken today . . . errr, yesterday? "Tomorrow"? Nothing like having a major event on the other side of the world (and the global time line) to mess up one's chronological sense.

Well, another "stone morning," and on a Sunday I could've gone to breakfast outside. I keep thinking that all I had to do was open the blinds early to let the daylight in, and I wouldn't have been so lethargic; it just didn't feel like a legitimate lack of sleep (no dreams) . . .

Well, besides another TNA PPV today, it's a regular Sunday, meaning it's another Laundry Day . . .

Well, Kim went home early today; considering developments in the last few days, she certainly had good reason. She certainly should be happy back home in Colorado; maybe she can finally figure out what the deal between her and J.D. is, or just keep enjoying what they have. We ended up going to Ramen Nippon on the way to the airport, also taking a tour of The Valley en route.

Besides a late Brain Age, I also finally did a perfect (100/100/100 in every mission) Hard Campaign in Advance Wars DS; I guess time to do the same with the regular campaign, then the many solo missions, and move on to Days of Ruin along the way.

The usual Wednesday morning rituals, and yet more unexpected downloads, made for yet another surprisingly late morning. More strange confidence of going to bed early tonight, but I guess what happens happens, and I don't care much anymore.

A surprisingly effective chiropractic visit today; in spite of tenderness along the spine while on the "wait rollers," the session went well, and I felt much better afterward. I was offered a free appointment this month, and I just might take that if I find the time. It's always with the time, never enough of it.

Late-ish Morning, Night Up in the Air . . .

Five hours past Ideal Time . . .

Well, I got up fairly early, in spite of a surprisingly late night, but a whole bunch of update my computer was overdue for ended up taking up a good portion of the morning. Yet another update to iTunes, SP 3 for XP, and Firefox 3. One fixed a bizarre crash report when closing iTunes, one was yet another overdue Microsoft update, and one (in spite of a few crashes on my laptop's test version) seemed ready to go.

What happens tonight, hopefully a long-awaited early turn-in, depends on . . . well, life.

Well, another late start, even though I set the alarm for this morning; my body simply would not give, and last night's late stay-up did not help.

(step)Sister Kimberly (Ramirez) is visiting starting today; things can get a little wild with her around, though anything can happen. This to add to (bio)sister's visit (with her family) last week, on their way south to Comic-Con as well. Either way, a visit to either Casa Bianca or Ramen Nippon will be in order, with a probable movie as well; maybe The Dark Knight, maybe Pineapple Express.
