april 10th, 2017: 90% failure

today was a bit heavy on the pain front. wasnt sure why at first, then i remembered i did a core workout yesterday. so the morning became a leg day exclusive.

this was set to be one of those go into work and power through a thing days. then binh happened. and then ashley happened. so much for that. she finally noticed that i changed her background to what it should be. and so did a few people around her. 

before she left she complained a lot about her work things. a while back and i wouldve definitely cared a lot more. ive somewhat come to terms with it so i guess thats part of the problem. anyways, its largely her fault. but shes not gonna be trying to hear that.

killing time in the other building before going off to lunch.

knocking out a lot of the stuff i meant to do in the morning. it went fairly smoothly thanks to the nice company of alkaline trio. but it did take quite a bit out of me overall. that and the general business.

stopping by to get some calendar time setup. i took that moment to try to explain to ashley how she screwed herself. it falls on deaf ears. theres a surprise...

home. raw. it's very tedious to watch it, but i was curious to see how things would play out. people are moving around so that creates a bit of suspense. in the end, i couldve done without watching.

april 9th, 2017: stage presence starts in the hips

i wanted today to be a lazy day where i didnt really do anything. but the problem with that is that i end up not really able to fill the day.

laundry. gym. ive been needing to get back into some type of cardio so that happened today. i wasnt sure id be able to pull it off since my back was in rough shape after yesterday. somehow it worked out though. 

the middle of the day was more studying and a nap somewhere in there. followed by finishing off work stuff.

overall, the day was largely a waste in a way. but kind of fine in others.

april 8th, 2017: i'm in and taking roy with me

no shoe releases today. well, there are...there's always at least one. but this morning is about comic con. somehow i managed to get in a few minutes after opening. i tried to get a badge for jims friend so big money could go, but there was a bit of a problem and that didnt work. but olivia's setup to go next year so thats cool. and then waiting out to see how the rest of the group would fare. not bad overall.

while waiting through all that someone, somewhere bumped an old webos thread. i miss that little os.

a brief gym session. i tried that squat machine thing. i dont like it. and i feel like ill like it less later.

so, mattycollector shut down recently. im surprised i didnt know that. there were probably emails and such that got ignored. and it was probably a big thing at sdcc 2016, but i wasnt around for that panel. lots of things have been taken away this week. boo to that. the question though is how is that going to effect buying exclusives. my guess...negatively.

nap

more studying. i really gotta remember to print that stuff out. itll make things so much smoother.

nxt. its the first time ever watched an event that i watched live. and mostly just from coincidence. and here i was thinking those opening matches were just something to entertain us.

there have been a handful of videos going around the youtubes about shoe guys selling their collections. and all for good reasons. in a lot of ways, its an awful hobby to get into. hobby may be the wrong word, but still. im probably going to do my count which should be around 90 and then go for 'grails' until 100. a lot of those 'just because' purchases are adding up and are far from favorites in some cases. though some were pleasant surprises, its just a bit much.

april 7th, 2017: you're buff

i slept terribly last night. im not sure why, but i woke up more often than usual. and i dont think i was comfortable at any point.

gym time. shoulder and leg day. it wasnt super great, but i did it.

work stuff. there was one thing i needed to do today and i took care of that. my attempts at doing stuff that was in my best interests didnt go so well though. and eventually i was out of time since i had to be home for a repair guy to come over.

finally got toilet #2 fixed. and followed that up with a nap. a little trip for groceries. the lady in the hair stuff place may have been hitting on me. im not quite sure honestly. sometimes people just have compliments. 

trying to catch up on my shows and talking to some chick on the cupid site. shes responding so thats cool. but things have a way of not going anywhere so we'll see how long it takes for that to happen.

april 6th, 2017: damn wendy and her purple shirt

chicknot nuggets. breakfast of champions.

there are a handful of things im supposed to do. so i try to jump into them before the day starts demanding attention. it kinda worked i guess. lots of number calculating. more than i wanted so early in the day.

after my little training thing i figured id get the low down on some work stuff so i could type up a thing. well, that didnt go well. not as well as i wanted anyway. but im somewhere so theres that... and then came wendy. wanting to do background checks at the end of the day. not a fan of that. not even a little bit.

but i did get to kill a bunch of time with big ash so that was fun. its been a while and will likely be a long while before that happens again.

laundry. raw.

earlier in the day i got a message from an old friend/associate of mine. i buy games from that guy. well, i used to... today he found out he wont be working for wherever he works anymore and therefore no more games. it's crazy to think that ive buying games from him since 2000. the first being anarchy rulz i think? and looks like the last will be marvel vs capcom 3. it's a sad thing. yet another chipping away at life things that i knew wouldnt last forever... i guess you just expect things to end when you want them to end.
