Ambient Movement

Yesterday, courtesy of a birthday gift from , I took possession of two CDs and a novel. The CDs got MP3′d immediately, and listened to through the day, as music from Tangerine Dream and The Future Sound of London goes well with coding. However, this morning, listening to them again on Meeces as I walked across to Lansdowne Road, I decided that ambient was made for walking and MP3 players. I shall be seeking more of this stuff.

Weight Loss Thoughts

Since starting to try to lose weight, I've knocked off about two stone. This is having the desired effect of letting me buy cheap clothes, but it's having some other odd and in many cases unexpected effects too.

First, I'm losing my insulation, and it's getting cold. I'm having to go over a number of old meditation routines and alter out the ones that deal with bloodflow and keeping warm, which is weird. I used to be able to stand in the old “beer garden” in Fibbers and keep three other people warm, though, when I was smaller before, so I know it can be done.

Second, while I have more energy at the start of the day, when I get tired, I go down like a poleaxed bullock, thud. No reserves of energy anymore.

Third, my body is developing all kinds of weird planes and angles where there were none before. There are inward curves at points on my arms and thighs where there weren't before, and they look fundamentally wrong still. I suspect the shape of my face is changing under the beard as well.

Fourthly, I can now keep up with silly-fast walking pace, even while carrying a full gaming kit.
