I'm Back on Track




Diet-wise I've struggled to get this. I'm about 168 and just before bed. This means I'll be about 2lbs lighter from the water loss. This weight has stuck for a week, since the caffeine withdrawal. A good sign is that I'm waking up earlier and sleeping earlier. After the airsoft game and the generous sweating I was at 165.

Target weight is roughly 160 where I lose the gut my man-purse accentuates with its strap across my torso.

Only had about 2-3hours sleep. I've checked up night time allergy, but there doesn't seem to be any good sources on my initial search. Strangely the allergy i get before bed sometimes doesn't happen or happens while I sleep, which wakes me up. I'm trying to keep track of it, and today was one of those nights where i decided not to preemptively take benedryl before bed.

Dreams. I feel fine despite the few hours sleep. My hypothesis is that sleep is only needed for recouping mental reserve lost in tasks of concentration, learning and processing new experiences. For my game research, people can survive without sleep... assuming if psychological stress doesn't wear them out or they don't mind dumping valuable experiences. I've read about how the body consumes the same amount of
calories awake and relaxed. I assume the same metabolics occur awake or asleep as long as the body is relaxed.

So a kid still grows those inches awake or asleep, unless the time he is awake stresses him out and compromises his body functions. People heal the same way either state, as long as the physical is at same relaxed position.

I'm not going all Inception. I've always had this notion after the lecture about the Body, Mind, Consciousness and Thinking Machines. Dreaming is a skill that allows people to min-max their subconscious. I think there is a way to use dreaming as a way to resolve issues and sculpt irrationalities into something more productive, and enhance memory.

When I study and there is sufficient reciprocation (IOW flow) I like to dream about what i'm studying. In some dreams I rattle off all the little bits of key words and ideas. Some dreams are like a giant 3d chalk board where I sometimes work out some fun puzzles.

Cramps. The Wife has been suffering the affects of being unable to draw from other vitamins other than what she eats and takes for the pregnancy. She woke up to cramps and couldn't sleep... waking me up also... where I realized I can't go back to sleep because of my allergies.

Her sensitive preganancy requires her to lie down and not walk around as much as possible. So I can understand how her muscles and her entire metabolism is kinda off track because of the little parasite.

WWII reenactment.
I was part today of a Philippine WWII re-enacting event. Or what I would call Grown Ups Cos-play. Someone me and my captain WWII uniforms. It was an very interesting experience. It was also hot and I was sweating so much, i must have poured out a cup of water just getting into the uniform.


Cap told me to look fierce, I'm a German after all. Imagine running around in that. The helmet weight about 3lbs. About 2mm thick on the edges probably thicker where it counts.

The uniform is pretty expensive, it costs around 5-6k for a set. I'm not even sure how much the web gear costs. They have it ordered in India. A surprise when i realized the web gear is worn above the navel.







This was after a pretty swell game. Got two kills and we won. Cap doesn't like having pix of him with his face online and the ruskie is Bob or spiel-Meister our GM.






wow the color is so clear in this one.









































My new favorite salad.
Its basically crispy bacon tarted up with some mustard and your own spice profile; then poured over your favorite salad greens, tomatoes (sour element), and grapes (sweet element); and topped with Poach eggs! Sodium and Crisp from the bacon, tart from the mustard, oil and egg for the fatty goodness and sweat and sour to cut that decadence.

Poached eggs really are better when their fresh. its a big difference when I got a batch 4-5 weeks before expiration and 2 weeks from expiration. One is a mess the other can be seen below visibly firm.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
