10:41 am - *squints* Okay, when I decided that babysitting/nannying/whatever for Cory and Dani was a good idea for a job, I did NOT expect Savana (the 1-year-old) to be waking up an hour and a half earlier than when I left. She’s also not even bothering to waste any time playing before wanting up, either. So now she’s taking two naps a day instead of one. As for Shayla (she’s four), there are two shows she likes that make me feel dumber having seen. One is Oobi. Oobi talk funny. Make Randell think Oobi wrote for foreign TV, was translated bad on purpose. And then there’s Boobah. I think it’s meant to be an exercise show for two-year-olds. And my feet are cold. I need to start wearing socks downstairs. Oh well. Good with the bad, I suppose. Current Mood: apathetic

11:28 am - Lessee... Did my exercises last night, some ups, some downs. Crunches are down to 112. I tried going down farther, ‘s why. I actually got two pull-ups, though I need to work on keeping my legs straight. Jonathan ran with me last time, managed to get 12:10 on my run! Felt kinda nauseous afterwards, but it was gone after a shower. I was thinking about some other stuff too, but I forgot what it was. Oh well. Current Mood: amused

08:54 pm - Ah, much better. Okay, not that I’m not running on fumes and only four hours of sleep a night when I’m used to eight, I’m feeling almost normal. I didn’t have to redo any of the paperwork, so I got dropped off at the hotel. The next day, I didn’t even have to go through a physical exept a basic height/weight check. I’ll probably always remember when I swore in. It was with a short black gal going into the Army, and I grossed her out by popping my neck. *laughs* Now I need to fill out the job request form, or I go in under an open contract. I think I’ll try to get something either electronic like computer stuffs, or blowing stuff up like ordnance disposal. After two weeks of pretty much slacking off, I thought I’d do a lot worse yesterday. Oh yeah, I got to work out the evening I got back from MEPS. Still only one pull-up, 120 crunches (got 100 straight though!), and the run was 13:44. I hope I sleep well tonight. Current Mood: listless

01:31 am - Urgh. It’s now 1:31 AM, and now I’m REALLY tired. I’ve been short on sleep for three days now. I’m off. Current Mood: tired

11:40 pm 23:40, August 17 Slept for most of today. Feeling a lot better, except for the shakes. Still got those. And tomorrow I have to go to MEPS. Joy. Current Mood: cold

07:56 am - ****. I have never gotten this sick so suddenly. First I wake up at 5 AM-ish, with diarrhea, chills, the shakes, and an upset stomach. Come 6 AM, I have this wierd gas/burp/vomit fit that really wasn’t any fun. Ugh. Current Mood: sick

01:41 am Figures. The time I have the most amount of waiting time between planes is the time I arrive and leave from the same gate. Other than that, it was uneventful. I got myself a Game Boy Advance SP and a pair of games, Advance Wars and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Advance Wars rocks. Plain and simple. FFTA... is a bit more childish. The chars still have issues, of course, but there’s no political sidestepping and backstabbing, and it’s a bit shorter. Not to mention the AI is dumb as a brick. Anyone who’s played a bit of it against a White Mage will know what I mean. I have a thick skin when it comes to plots, so the game amuses me anyway. I expect multiplayer to be interesting, though. I intend to get myself Golden Sun and Fire Emblem, and maybe one of the MMZ games. Although there has got to be something to do out in Mississippi other than get drunk, wasted, or laid. I NEED something to do. Current Mood: calm

02:18 am - 12:18 AM (CA time) Had a party with my folks. My cousins Genevieve and Erin were there, along with Gen’s significant other Miguel and his son. Uncle Pat and Sherry (Sherri?), were there too. And Jill and Skye, of course. Mostly sat around and talked. I got to watch a few movies here. The Return of the King and Matrix Revolutions. The Return of the King is a good movie. Revolutions wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Only the finale baffled me, really. Got in a run, too. Started raining about 1/3 in, but that only got me worked up for some reason. My grandmother gave me some money. Not too sure what I’m going to do with it. I think I’m gonna look around, but I have a few ideas... Current Mood: relaxed

03:37 am - 01:37 (CA time) Ert. Done some bad backsliding. Haven’t done much exercise at all. Some push-ups, but not even a single run. While it’s nice to be back around my family, they don’t seem motivated towards helping me. Not to mention I’m up REAL late, and they aren’t even trying to wake me up. *sigh* Going to stay at my grandparents’ for a few days after this. Current Mood: blah

02:12 am - ****. 02:12, August 8, 2004 When I was thinking about waking up tomorrow, this is not what I had in mind. Ah well. At least I’m mostly sober now. Current Mood: tired

11:29 pm - *pulls on desk instead of keyboard tray* Oops. *pets cat* Ah well. I guess Saber will have to wait. I have to focus to do things. Daniel had his going-away party tonight, so he tried to get me drunk (again). Too bad the hot dogs interfered. Those things don’t stay down for jack. I seem to have occasional trouble getting some letters right, but ingrained spelling has enabled me to correct these. Yay for the Backspace key. Anyway, I’m rather buzzed, but I can do most things if I concentrate. My cheeks feel red. Wow. Cliché sign of a happy drunk if I ever heard one. All I need now is the red nose and I’m set. Uh, yeah. I told Saber I should be on tonight, but I’ll send him an email about my current condition. I’m sure he’ll understand. I ran most of the way back, but I didn’t really feel it. How odd. Oh my gawd! I need to pack! Tomorrow. Current Mood: amused

05:24 pm - Bleh. Good news is my exercises are going pretty well, except I’m slacking on my push-ups. Bad news is I’m STILL thinking about Ragnarok Online, even though I’m probably never going to play again. How infuriating. Current Mood: annoyed

09:59 pm Got out of the shower, and I’m feeling lots better physically. Only my shins ache, and I still feel a bit when I breathe deeply. Tried that loofah and body wash thing. Wow, that DOES get rid of a lot of crap! Mental note: Old Spice’s Fresh scent is nice and neutral. I’m gonna stick with that. Current Mood: relaxed

12:34 am Watched The Butterfly Effect. Damn good movie. And Daniel was right, the director's cut version IS messed up. But still worth watching. And now I'm no longer tired. ****! Current Mood: energetic

05:47 pm Figures. The game after I say I haven’t won a game yet, I win. Ugh. Today sucks. Shayla’s misbehaving with a vengeance, I think I might be coming down with a head cold, and to top it off I’ve been feeling lethargic and all dream-like all day. I’ve been doing my push-ups, so the blood is flowing. I’ve been eating pretty well, so it’s not that. I even got a little extra shut-eye last night, sleeping in ‘til noon. I figure either the extra sleep is threw me off, I’m messed up and getting sick, or I badly need something to do. Current Mood: lethargic

12:22 am Well, let’s see. Did a pull-up plus got my chin to the bar for the second one. I may just hit 3 by the time I head out to California yet. 117 proper crunches in two minutes. Pretty awesome. At this rate, I might have great abs. Did my run in 14:25. Kinda sucks overall, but it’s better than my last two runs. The thing that stands out this time was I was concentrating on how my feet landed, the length of my strides, and I noticed that my legs didn’t ache as much by the time I was done. My lungs burned somethin’ fierce, which means I exercised them today. Cory picked up Scrabble yesterday, and I’ve not won a game yet. Kinda normal, most of my words score points in the teens. And I get to sleep in tomorrow! Yay! I was going to today, but Dani was throwing up for some reason. Really weird, since she seems kinda okay now. Also, tried out Warning Forever and Dope Wars 2.2, both great little ways to kill a few minutes. Dope Wars 2.2 is a vast improvement over the previous one. The Loan Sharks, buying weapons at leisure, and more cities. Warning Forever is a goofy name, but hey, it's a Japanese game. It's a top-down shooter a la Raiden, but it's only bosses with some varied modes. The enemy adapts to your style somewhat. Just fun. Current Mood: chipper

10:24 pm Well, I succumbed to buying some Yu-Gi-Oh cards today. I might buy a couple of boosters here and there, but I don't think I'll ever hit "fanatic" status. I got a starter and one booster, riffled through them for maybe ten minutes, sat down to play with a more seasoned player, and won rather soundly. In more interesting news, I got my new glasses today! They're really screwing with my peripheral vision something fierce, but I'm adapting. Dani and Cory said they're the "movie cliche smart-ass" look, but it's okay. I like them. Oh! And I'm going back out to California for a week starting on the 9th. Looking forward to that, even though my mom took over my comp. (Hers died.) Current Mood: chipper
