Looking back at 2005

Posted inInternet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments
I'm just going back through all my old posts on the old blog as I work to transfer them to this new domain (iaindstewart.net), and I can finally see why I was depressed all those years ago. It's as clear as day now I have some insight into what depression is and how it affects you. I was essentially staying…
Our Honeymoon – Day 3

Our Honeymoon – Day 3

Posted inFilms/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments
On Day 3 we finished off the last of the farm eggs (which tasted so much better than regular eggs it must be said), and went to Brixham. I like Brixham, it has a nice atmosphere, and a nice fishy smell to it. I drank too many random beers the night before, and I was hanging a little bit, so…

Nearly Christmas already

It's come around quickly again this year. Like last year, I have been working night shifts on Music and Video to prepare and repair the department. It was four night shifts spread over two weeks this time, rather than three night shifts in a row, and it took it's toll on my sleeping patterns. Still, think of the money. I…
Holiday 2011: Day 1

Holiday 2011: Day 1

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Holiday! I got up at 5am so I could jump in the shower first (I must have a shower every morning - I get terribly sweaty at night), and be ready for the designated 7am departure time. Funny - 5am is my usual Saturday morning wake-up time, so it wasn't too much bother for me. As I said, 7am was…

New record!

Well, I've been this weight before, but not in a long time. I hit 16 stone 7 today. Now, considering that about two years ago at my heaviest I was almost 21 stone, that's quite good. I attribute my weight loss to working hard and being active, and drinking and eating more sensibly. No more Coffee Mate in my coffee…

Doing well

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. So it's been about 2 months since my last cigarette... It's going well. I must say I've had a bigger appetite, and I've craved Diet Coke and cups of coffee, but all in all it's going well, mainly because I have no money to go and buy…

Giving up smoking

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. Spent Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday with J, it was quite nice. Didn't do much, just kinda hung out, but it was cool. And now it's back to normality. Went to the Jobcenter earlier, that was great fun. I really want a coffee but that would…

Another boring day

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. Another boring day of waking up, going to the Jobcentre only to be patronised out of the building, then coming home and getting semi-bored waiting for Lady T to get in. Ah well. I'm going to have a coffee then finish off my Darwinia review. I'm also…
