Big beats are the best

Posted inFilms/TV, Music, ReflectionsNo Comments
They sure are. After listening to the album for the past three days straight at work, I just had to buy the new Ministry of Sound collection: Big Beat Anthems. Every track has the biggest of beats, every track takes me back twenty years, every track is utterly amazing. I'm having some issues naming tracks and what-not with the Zune…

Champix: Day nine

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Day two of the higher dose, and I think we may be getting somewhere. Today would have been the day I stopped smoking, but I decided to push it back a little as I didn't feel the tablets were working as much as they should be. Throughout the day my desire to smoke was normal, although I am beginning to…

Champix: Day eight

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Today is my first day of taking 1mg twice a day. I'm getting more and more down, feeling like this course of tablets won't work. Coupled with the news that my best Asda buddy has got a job elsewhere, today could have been better. It did have it's good points - I got to go home a bit early because…

Champix: Day seven

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Positive: Day off from Asda - done loads of weights and had a good hour on the rowing machine. Negative: Feeling a bit sorry for myself - Jane had some (potentially) bad news, and I don't know what to do. Throughout the day my desire to smoke was normal, and the relief after smoking was normal, but again, some cigarettes…

Champix: Day six

I seem to be needing the toilet more than usual. Is this yet another side-effect? Throughout the day my desire to smoke was normal, and the relief after smoking was normal, but the actual smoking made me feel slightly queasy at times. Progress?

Halo 4: First look

Posted inInternet, VideogamesNo Comments
First proper look, anyway. There's a video up on Waypoint (and most probably everywhere else on the web by now I'd imagine), and it's really good. The Battle Rifle is back. Three shot bursts confirmed. The graphics are insanely detailed. You play as a Spartan IV (yes, four) in multiplayer, and it looks like an even shinier version of Vanquish.…

Champix: Day five

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Day two of having two tablets. I had a go on my new rowing machine (did I not mention this? I bought a rowing machine with my bonus from Asda), walked to Waterlooville, had a haircut and then walked home again. It reminded me of the reasons why I don't want to smoke anymore - my health, and the impact…

Champix: Day four

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Sunday, bloody Sunday. I slept in until about 10 this morning as I was so tired. Working the late shift until 10pm on Friday night then coming in for 7am on the Saturday always takes it's toll, but it was worse this time for some reason. I felt I needed to sleep more. Is this a Champix effect? Who knows.…
