Bi-yearly update 2014

Hey, this is going to be an epic update, a half-year special so to speak. I’m going to go back and take a look at the targets I made at the start of the year and see how I’m doing with them.

With regards to the Fitness Targets – I’ve done nothing. I don’t know why. Can I not be bothered? Or do I feel like I should be doing something else? I think I feel like I should be drawing or recording videogame footage, but then, I don’t really spend enough time doing those things either, so I have no idea. I reckon I should draw up a timetable, allocate my time. It would illustrate that I have more time than I think I have. But then again, now I’ve said that I’ll put off drawing it up and won’t change until I’ve drawn it up. And a plan like that is ridiculous to think about now seeing as something that I never imagined would happen at the start of the year is happening…

I cannot understand how June is nearly over already. I'm sure we're being sucked into a black hole or something, which is why time is seemingly all over the place. So, Jane gave us a bit of a scare late last week, she had a bad headache and texted me to say that she was going to have a scan…

E3 has been and gone, and one of the only new things that I was interested in was the Master Chief Collection. The other things being Halo 5 (which there were not many details of, because it is so far away from release), and the Dark Souls 2 DLC (which I am intentionally not looking into because I've not even…

I finished some pictures for the nursery this week - I'll post a link to them when I've done a little write up for them on my creative blog. They are of characters that I am developing for a children's book that Jane is writing - I think it's quite good myself (the book that is, not my pictures -…

Jane is feeling Flipper quite a lot now that she knows what it is that she is feeling. She had been feeling butterflies for a couple of days, but has only just cottoned on to what it actually is. Our child moving around! That is magical. I've still not felt them move from the outside though, that's the bit I'm…

An update to the update

Just to update you on this post, well, we're all moved down to the garage now (I say garage, but it's not been very garage-like for a long time). It took about a day to get everything all moved and plugged in and organised, and it's turned out quite nice. It's a bit nicer on the feet, as this room…

365 days

It's been 365 days since I last had a cigarette, and I feel terrible. Not because of not smoking, that is undoubtedly a good thing. It's because I've essentially replaced nicotine with sugar. Yep, instead of going outside and inhaling some fast-acting nicotine smoke, I'm able to stay inside and comfort myself with some feel-good chocolate, or have a lovely…
