The Book of Ashes

Pink lemonade in the sun, blue blades on the water front. 5:21AM

So today has been good. Good indeed. I went for my blade and it was nice. I need to swap over my wheels again though and soon enough it will be time to buy new ones. I got to the steps, the ones round by that fountain near Frank-Kitts park. I got scared and circled them for ages then went for it, Crispy style (he tried it once before when he had pads and went too slow and fell, hurting himself), except that I didn't fall but made a mess of it. You need to have guts and go fast down stairs otherwise you stall and trip. I did the tripping thing, kinda jumping down the stairs and it didn't look pretty. Luckily no hot chicks were around to bear witness to my embarrassment.

I came home in the afternoon and thought I had better make the most of the awesome sun. I sat out on the couch outside the girls place and bathed as I read my book. It was too bright! I had to get my sunnies. Olivia came out after a while and I pointed out it was so hot that my foot was sweating. (Nice huh?). We decided that what we needed was a jug of nice cool home made lemonade so I looked up a recipe on the net and we made some. She even had that pink stuff (grenada???) to make pink lemonade. It was great. Then my auntie came round and we discussed business plans. She was quite enthusiastic about my idea, so it looks like its a goer. It will only bring in a little bit of pocket money but will be pretty cool. I am not going to jinx it by saying what it is but lets just say wait a month and I'll let you know how its working out.

So I've just had a very late lunch and am waiting for Dan to come home and cook me dinner. I also got a call from Martin this arvo asking me if I wanted to go Salmonella Dub. I said I didn't have the cash so he offered to shout me which is cool. I compromised on halvsies. I hate not paying for myself, even when the other person can afford it. Anyway better go wait for Dan

Bad nights sleep, poster falling off wall. 12:03PM

Didn't sleep very well last night. Woke up in the night and found myself holding my poster next to my bed. I stuck it back on the wall on an angle wondering if I had pulled it off or if I had woken to it falling down and caught it. One will never know.

I was meant to get up early this morning and go watch the sun rise. Due to lack of sleep I piked, reseting my alarm for later. Got up at 9, had breaky and went to physio. Was good. Went for a run after that. Oh yeah, have updated Ems description, have put up another photo for Tom and also updated my one.

I find it interesting that when lying in bed with the light on you can feel real tired and would probably just fall asleep lying there thinking if only the light was off... turn the light off and your mind switches on and you can't sleep for hours. I think it may have some thing to do with the fact that when the lights on you are thinking about what you see and get tired. When the lights off all you have to do is think in your head, not really tiring... maybe I should try getting to sleep with the light on.

Right, now I'm going to go for a blade since its such a nice day and I'm going to use my pads (I never use my pads) and I'm going to try (if I have the guts) to go down steps... don't be surprised if I hurt myself!

Also of interest I gave myself a haircut yesterday, back to the good old #2... much cooler for the 2.2GHz brain. Might add a heat sink at some stage..
