(no subject)
Yesterday was terrible. I slept probably about 3 hours before giving up at 4:30am because my AC was broken AGAIN (people say I should continue living in apartments because when things break, I just have to call the office, but what they don't consider is that the office will do the cheapest job possible). I played around on the internet for a couple of hours and made a bagel run (the highlight of my day) before I finally felt tired enough to go back to sleep only to awaken three hours later due to the world's loudest cricket somewhere in my room (further searching determined it was inside one of my grates).
Rugby practice was a shitshow. I've been trying to go running/sprinting prior to practices, and I think I did an excellent job of wearing myself out because after the first half-hour, I had no more gas left in the tank. During shadow, I was in everybody's way and fucking up noticeably (and in very embarrassing ways). At the end of practice, during the 100 passes, the girl whom I drive to practices (who is THE most incompetent person out on the field) was standing to my right and, for some sadistic reason I kept tossing it to her just slightly further than she was (in 99% of cases, a person who knows how to burst on to the pass would read it and it wouldn't have been a problem). However, she if fucking slow and really fucking stupid so we fucked up TWICE. That's TWO GODDAMN TIMES, making the team start over again. It was officially the worst 100 passes exercise I've seen to date.
I really need to turn my brain on.
I think part of it is that I know I won't be here at the end of the month, so my investment is waning. This sort of thing kind of happened during my undergrad/med school transition. I don't do well in those periods between stages of my life. I feel listless, aimless, and bored wanting to move on to new things, but being stuck having to wait for the designated time to do so.
Okay, so just writing this has made me irritated, so on to happier things. I made a trip up to my residency city and found this awesome little condo that I'm in the process of buying. It's right next to soccer fields, which makes me really happy. The city itself was absolutely gorgeous and the people? So sincerely friendly, my mind was blown. Two of the waiters we had were guys and...I crushed on them within moments of meeting them. It was embarrassing (more accurately, it's so embarrassing being me). But just maybe I'll find people here whom I like? Maybe I'll meet people with whom I'd like to actually hang out with and get to know on a deeper level? We'll see.
Also, the hiking? I might be addicted to elevation.
In nerdier news, I finished the Daredevil Netflix series and realized that I know almost nothing about the characters, so I tried on my own to download the comics online, only to realize just how hard doing so is. Then I realized that my brother is home and knows the ways of torrenting. He was happy to help out and was able to find all the main series (plus some other random goodies) from 1964 to 2011. I've read vol 3 (Waid is amazing) and am currently on vol 2 (the relief I felt when Quesada was replaced was huge). Comics aren't as fun as watching this stuff live action (and way more corny: the Netflix universe would never have Daredevil cooperate with being sued), but it offers a neat perspective. My next request will be for the New Avengers with Daredevil in the lineup and maybe some Defenders? (I know nothing about the latter group).
Also, WtNV episode 67 [Best of?] broke my brain. HOMG.
