Nerdy Thoughts

So I’ve gotten into a bad habit of staying up till 1am this past week and hauling myself out of bed at the last minute. I’m blaming RP but also just my brain not being able to shut off about life stuff. It was particularly bad yesterday as I felt like a zombie and I was irritable enough that my co-workers picked up on it. It was like I had a patch fog right at the forefront of my brain.

Last night I forced myself to go to bed at ll:30pm and wow, this morning was so much better. It probably helps that it’s also Friday and that the weekend’s upon us. Plus I drank coffee.

Today we’re going out to lunch at work. Last month we decided to do this thing were once a month on a Friday we’d randomly pick a restaurant for the office to go out to lunch at. Sort of a morale builder and we all had to put suggestions in. A few of my co-workers were like ‘No sushi places’ because they’ve never been to one and have misconceptions about sushi.

Out of badness, I put in one of my favourite sushi places and it got randomly drawn. Twice. Because they did a re-draw and still hauled out the restaurant’s name.

It was pretty funny. Some of the more adventurous folks & people who’ve already eaten it, were happy and we managed to convince the more reluctant ones that they could get cooked food as well. After all, not all sushi is raw and the restaurant has other cooked entrees. So, this should be interesting. I mean, it’s funny to me but I do hope they enjoy it.

....is similish for “What’s up?” apparently. I don’t know what’s funnier, that there are defined similish words online or that I went looking for them. This past weekend I re-installed the original Sims game after talking about it on papertea's journal and talk about a flashback of the past. It’s amazing to think I use to spend hours playing this game when I was a teen. What was even funnier is that while I was re-installing and playing Sims, John was playing Witcher II on his Xbox. Naturally, comparisons were made.
( Witcher versus Sims, plus more Sims talk )

What else has been going on outside the renewed addiction to Sims 2? John and I went to the gym together for the first time. He used to have a Goodlife membership but we realized it was cheaper to add him to my membership with Aquarena Gym which is right next to my work place and part of the university. I’ve used the pool for years but never used the gym before because I’ve always been self conscious about using the machines so it was nice to have someone else with me.

We had a good time and we’re already planning a gym schedule. This is very good as I need to get back on track with exercising. When I lived alone I found it easier because I could just go whenever I wanted but moving in together has thrown off my exercise and eating habits a lot. We’ve improved in our eating habits together in some ways, like including more fruits and veggies, eating less take out so I’m hopeful we’ll be able to figure out how to combine living together with being healthy together.

Last night I tried out a new recipe: Grilled Halloumi tacos with chickpeas & peppers. It was interesting as neither of us had tried halloumi before and found it okay but ultimately we liked the chickpea mixture more so I think the next time we’ll use the chickpeas with grilled chicken or vegetables instead.

I don’t have anything else to add so I’m going to end the post with this:
