Don't mention Beast.

This morning was nothing exciting, I played DJ Hero and lazed around before my 3pm start at work. My biggest achievement was the lunch I created; pasta with cheese and some vegetarian spicy 'meat' stuff I found in a shop.

Work was an average day really, except for Allan finding a new job before finally breaking the news to the deputy near the end of the day. He was a little miffed to say the least and went on to ask me how motivated I was on a scale of 1 to 10. I negotiated the terms of the scale first, agreeing that 5 was an apathetic medium, with 4 being slightly disgruntled and 6 being fairly happy, continuing up or down. My honest answer was three, prompting a tantrum.

After work I headed to the Benleva with Drew where we met Darroch, Jon, Pepe and Beast, who doesn't want mentioned in tonight's blog. Jon treated me to a viewing of the video in which Jamie MacKay broke his arm, filmed the other day. It was pretty nasty, the cracking sound. After some decent banter Drew, Darroch, Beast and myself headed down to the cover for a general wall. At the river we stopped and talked for a while, throwing rocks at a tree for about half an hour. Beast did particularly well at this, though he isn't to be mentioned. On our way back Drew treated us to a sneak preview of his new play about Domestic Violence, coming together in a whimsical musical number "Where can I hide the body?".

I ended the day with a cycle home which I won't pretend I enjoyed, but things like that are essential if I am to achieve my goal of getting fitter this summer.

Song of the day was something I discovered in Last.fm this morning. It signals me getting properly back into metal after a hiatus of a couple of weeks. It's not the greatest song I've ever heard but it's really catchy and I like the way they use techno keyboards without being shit (cough cough, enter shikari).
