Fencing, RL, Fitness, TNA and Work
Fencing
Came 5th at the Liverpool Uni Open. Am annoyed because I was 4th after pools. But I got knocked out by a better fencer (even if, due to some dodgy refereeing it was 15-7, when it ought to have been 15-11) so I can't complain. Also, I was suffering from the hell cold (see below) and my fingernails were going blue so I really oughtn't complain.
The Hell Cold
Basically, the write up area where I work had to get new carpets so we tidied the whole thing. I immediately came down with a chronic 30-tissues-a-day cold. According to colleagues, I am not allowed to claim I am allergic to tidying, despite this evidence. It's a lot better now.
Fitness
However, because of the hell cold, I haven't been to the gym all week. This makes me a sad panda. The trainer got me lifting free weights and I have decided they are the most awesome thing ever. Results are slow but there. It's now a definite four pack and a barrel and I'm down to one and a half chins. Also, I think I'm back to having better legs than Bully Ray. Also I feel a lot better in and of myself. The old problem of none of my trousers fitting me is back (oh the joys of being a size 15) but that's what they invented belts for.
TNA - I think everyone else has already discussed everything else to death so let me rant about the X-Division.
So Kenny King and Chris Sabin both give good promos. Roles are established, the crowd now want Sabin to beat King. Perfect time for a one-on-one match.
Except, of course, with the stupid new rules, we've got a three-way match with Petey Williams thrown in. Petey Williams is too good to be thrown in just to eat the pin.
As I said, repeatedly, so far, I've only been wrong on one of my guess on who gets pinned in the X-division 3ways. And that was them having my beloved Zeema Ion get pinned. :(
Other than that Gail Kim's new hanging figure 4 is a thing of evil beauty, AJ continues to be Sting (to the extent that real-Sting lampshaded it) and James Storm remains the highlight of the night (whose name is not Kazarian, Daniels, Roode or he who has f-ed up mightly).
Work - Help, I have a project student. Who sets new records for being late, as in half an hour is normal. Also, all the NMR machines have gone down so my project is stuffed too. As is my work computer where one of the hard-drives is dying.
