I sabotaged myself last night… but had a damn fun time doing it.

SAKI! BOMB!
SAKI! BOMB!
SAKI! BOMB!

wham! slam the table, knocking the shot into the beer, chug the beer. Repeat about 20 times. Stumble home. Boy, the food sure does suck at Tokyo Delves, but what a fucking blast. Birthday party for a friend, about 20 people… the rest of the place packed with another birthday party, for a girl that just turned 21. I thought we were professional drinkers, but their table put ours to shame.

Somehow, I’ve made it… didn’t even break down at the hermit lunch, even though I watched them eat through a mile of pizza and down a heroic jug of beer. Sigh. Admittedly, I’ve drank a bit more than I should have on the plan - I mean, Friday’s at Finn’s are Friday’s at Finn’s, so I can’t pass those up… but I’ve done some extra bike to make up for those situations.

Another one tonight - off to yet another birthday party. This one is all about the drinking, but I plan on keeping an even keel… a vodka tonic or two, and that’s it. No food either. Well, maybe some edamame beans, but that’s ok. I have a meal left for tonight.

Simon’s off in London interviewing Massive Attack… lucky bastard. I just spent the day sorting out a Flash navigation system for the previously mentioned new client…

Well, there ya go. Another day, another blog.

Just picked up a small new gig… it’s not earth shattering and it doesn’t mean we get to move into a fuck off house or anything, but at least the monthly bills will be a little easier. Assuming we don’t lose any of our current clients, that is. Can someone get the economy moving again, or sort out this whole downloading records for free thing?

I feel like I’m in bootcamp. It’s 9:30, and I’ve already done a half an hour on an exercise bike, another 30 minutes of yoga, and had a delicious, healthy breakfast burrito - eggwhites, salsa and some veggies wrapped in a whole wheat pita. I’m not used to waking up for another half an hour.

Goddamnit, gimme a beer and some cold pizza.

I overdid it again yesterday… went out for drinks after the superbowl, which we definately should not have done, but there you go. Aching head today and a little queasy; although, Wendy pointed out I’m most likely getting sick, as she’s just getting over a cold. I have no energy so I’m inclined to believe it’s true. Unfortunately, back on the workout / diet schedule today so I can’t have any greasy food to help out with the hangover, and I have no energy for the workout. Sigh.
