That 'One Year Off'

Piano performance graduate of UT Tyler in May, 2010.

This is...what's next. A log of what's next. For now. Not forever, of course. But who knows?

But for now? Including, but not limited to: piano, teaching, music, video games, running, graduate schools, Japan, photography.

HEY EVERYONE

If you’re interested in following my shenanigans, follow me over here.

It’s mah parent blog, and I’m moving back to it after a year.

It’s been a good year, but I feel like this blog has run it’s course.  It’s even titled “That ‘One Year Off’” in supposed recognition of the year off many [citation needed] people take between obtaining their degrees and everything else.

I knew from the beginning that it’d probably end up being more than a year…but who knows: this may already be everything else.

Anyway, I’m continuing the adventures (and, yes, shenanigans) over here.

Hit me up!  Also, spread the word, maybe?

Scales.

Ok.  So I’ve wanted to start over on the home blog for a while, so let me just link you over there and give you a heads up that this will happen by the end of this month.  Probably on the first of August.  That’d make it a year for this blog.

ONE.  YEAR.

In any case, you probably already see that blog comment on yours.  It’s marckusmadulidus.  My name is CLEVERLY hidden in the blog title, and that will also change sometime.  Possible names:

  • markusaurelius (or marckusaurelius, heh)
  • marckthree (like…version three, lols)
  • markusmaximus (or, again, marckusmaximus)

I went and ran 1.6 mi earlier this week, on Monday.  It was new.  So many hills.

I just weighed in a few minutes ago.

It’s actually kinda hard to read their (Erin and Chris’s) scale.

It read 161.

Which is down about five (FIVE) pounds from about two weeks ago or so.  (Does this mean I participated in Weigh-in Wednesday finally?)

In the morning, I normally have oatmeal.  For lunch, I usually pan grill/sear some chicken and put it on top of some salad with some cheese (mmmmm) and salad greens (romaine, spinach, red cabbage).  My dinner kinda whatever, knowing that I’ve had maybe about 600 calories throughout the entire rest of the day and won’t break 2,000 or so (which is what I would have been shooting for when working out and running), so…

Whatever it is, it’s working.

What’s not working: having the wireless router 25-something feet away with some walls inbetween.  %$#@.  I get a signal, but ping is normally high-ish and I’m pretty sure download speeds are affected.

In any case.

My calves were still feeling really tight this morning, so the run will be either later this afternoon or tomorrow.

I train 3:30-10:00a on Friday and Saturday, and then work two 11p-5:30a shifts next week.

Overnight stocking team, alright.

(Hey, it’s a job.  And I kinda like working with the boxes; I got sorta nostalgic during the tour about my times in the Toys “R” Us stockroom back in Tyler.)

So I’ve got to figure out a way to eat healthy in the middle of the night, get used to a night schedule, keep running (and start it back up again; 10k/halfs in the fall THEY’RE GOING TO TEMPT ME) and learn to get better at this living away from home thing.

I kinda already like it.  (Until the bills come in.)

Ugh, bills.

BUT HERE WE GO

In the mean time:

  • Pokémons trainings and breedings
  • Guild Wars
  • Rift (<— I’m on Byriel!)
  • StarCraft 2
  • Rereading one of my books (Name of the Wind, Twelve Kingdoms most likely)
  • MOAR GAMES

:D

Found an old planner while cleaning up.

I tried to psych myself up by writing things to my future self in the coming months.

  • March: “170 lbs?  Yeah?” - Yup!
  • May: “Appassionata?  Done yet?” - Nope.  :P
  • June: “160 yet?  C’MON!” - 165 lbs.  I’ve held this weight since April, though.
  • July: I erased a “170 yet?” question, haha.  :P
  • August: “YOU BETTER BE IN AUSTIN.” - Mission accomplished.  Sorta.  My stuff is there, I’m not.  Except my computer.  My computer’s still here.  Nyah.  :P

~2.3ish out of 4.  Not tooooooo bad…but I need to get back to seeing what else I’ve left here that I do need to bring, so catch you later, yeah?

Also, Pokémon breeding is tedious and the Battle Subway is a pain in my ass.  MOAR BP PLZKTHX

Nerdy Pokémon stuff after the jump.

You’ve been warned.  :3

And in case you’re not here at the end, good day!  :D

Thank you “linksys”

Please don’t steal my Tumblr password now.  :P

IN ANY CASE.

Zip codes.

78741.

That’s the one I’m posting from.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Though, I’ll be going back home tomorrow to finish cleaning out my room and getting it ready for whatever my parents want to do with it.

And then I’ll be back on July 5th.  Maybe 4th.  The roads will be crazy those days, in any case.

ALRIGHTY THEN.
