Nothing in particular

Oh man, I'm all dried up for ideas lately so I can't produce one of those hilarious posts you've come to expect from me (yeah right) so I guess I'll just write a bit about what I've been doing lately. *Warning* The following text has no structure at all in part because the author is on 6 hours sleep, maybe 9, since Friday and in part because he sucks at writing.

So yeah, I've been keeping myself quite busy. I guess what I spend most of my free time on is playing squash, during the summer I joined the Sugden Metro team which plays North West Counties Squash League. The club has around 30 players and three teams. I play for the thirds but not every week, in fact as of now I've only played once but I'm playing this week again. Basically, out of the 30 players the best 5 play on the first team every week then the next best 5 play on the seconds and the 20-odd left play on a rotational basis every week. The guys in the seconds have a very good level so I don't think I'm gonna get out of the thirds any time soon. Also, the standard of play in the league is really high and you meet people who've been playing for ages and have loads of experience so it's not a surprise that in my debut I got fucking trashed (that's my results page so if you ever happen to see a W celebrate big time for me hehe) :'(. I guess is a matter of keepin' at it and gaining experience, I know what my weaknesses are but it's hard to address them man. The nice thing is there's a sense of brotherhood in the team and even between teams, actually after every match, the home team has to provide dinner and drinks to the visiting team whi is quite cool.

Well that's that, usually squash takes 2, 3 or 4 nights out of my week (since we train on tuesday evenings and the matches are on thirsdays and I also have to play in the internal sports centre league on which I'm group 3, 1 being the most ass kicking and 13 being the shittiest one so I'm not doing too bad really).

This week we had a poker game at the house which was pretty cool since we hadn't played for 3 months and more so because we were more people than usual, we were 10 and we finished at around 5:30 in the morning and I made a 10 pound profit which works out to be like 1.20 per hour. The reason we had so many people is that we have new housemates which are pretty damn cool if you ask me, one's french, the other one's dutch and the last one is chinese. I like'em and they're always up for a good time. It's kinda nice to have international housemates again after 2 years of living with almost only mexicans. So yeah, went to bed at 5:30 and to wake up at 8:45 to go to my french lessons which are saturdays from 10 to 1, it's a pretty sucky time if you ask me but the other class is on tuesdays and it overlaps with my squash playing so tough luck. Actually yesterday was very weird day schedule-wise I went to my french class at 10, went to play squash at 1 came back home at aorund 2:30 watched some tennis, some darts and went to bed again at 4:30pm until around 7. Had my first meal of the day at 9 and went out to this warehouse party that my french housemate knew about, it was pretty fucking cool and even though I was really tired we ended up coming coming back home at 5:30am (again...) . To my surprise I woke up at fuckin 9:30 and couldn't force myself to sleep again so I'm gonna be like a zombie all day, oh, and I'mplaying squash inlike 40 minutes so I've better stop here.

This post sucks...sigh.

p.s. Last week I rented the film Catch-22, I can only urge to watch it because it friggin rules! Actually read the book first, in my own homble opinion is that best book you'll ever read. One day I'll make a tribute post about Catch-22.

p.s.2 This post probably has like a gajillion spelling errors but I'm not gonna correct them so suck it!
