Cead mile failte. Conas ta tu, inniu?

Today, I was woken up by beeping. At first, I started scrambling around looking for a bomb, but then said "screw it" and tried to get back to sleep. When the damn thing wouldn't stop, I got out of bed due to its constant and periodically annoying beeping. Turns out that one of the detectors was getting low on battery power. The damn thing finally stopped beeping, and the battery was replaced (I think).

From there, I rummaged around for some oatmeal, and found it stolen by the vindictive PFTETOO (People For The Ethical Treatment Of Oatmeal [pronounced "Pffffteetwo"]). Already not happy due to beepy wake up, and subsequent inability to turn beepy thing off, I found my favorite oatmeal hoarded by grain activists! Thank goodness they stole the oatmeal and released it back into the wild. I would have been really pissed if it were the whiskey instead.

I settled for one of the best cereals on the planet--Cheerios! I like Kashi much much better (mmm...whole grainy goodness). There's a hilarious story behind it, but it is rather crude, so I'm going to leave that off of here.

Then it was on to play Deus Ex until I fully awoke. Much to my displeasure, I had yet another run in with something beepy--namely an explosive stuck to a wall I didn't see until I tripped it (though I certainly heard it). I reload my game, avoid the bomb, stick my head up through the manhole, and got it promptly blown off by a rocket from a -- you guessed it, a beeping hulk of a sentry robot!

So, as you can see, after today, my tolerance for beepy things is down to "little or none". My alarm better come with a damned good warantee if its to survive the morning.

After those unfortunate run-ins with things that go beep, it was finally time to go out and do some running! It was a beautiful day to do so, and I had been looking forward to it the whole two hours I was awake.

Decided to go for a full Marina Bay loop due to how nice it was out (how mistaken I was!). Went out, started off at a reasonable pace, but didn't hold it--I foolishly increased it, which caused problems later on--the last part of the run was hell because I had become dehydrated. Despite having a bit of a hard time, I felt like a million bucks after I got back home. Good run! Tomorrow is definitely a rest day, meaning going for a nice walk or a bike ride.

Supper was uneventful, except for having more horseradish mustard...which was incredibly awesome, by the way.

Just finished watching Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Nothing like a good ol'e Indy Jones movie to finish off the day...well, besides James Bond. I hate to say it, but Indy can't really beat Bond.

Slan agat. Good night!
