So originally I was going to record a video post whereby I was going to do a little tour of the new house and tell everyone what's been happening. But then I decided to not sleep on Monday night, which has left me with a debt to the sandman.
Then last night I carefully considered my options and decided to once again forego sleep in favour of lying awake coughing. Not pretty little coughs either - hacking bronchial coughs that reduce villi to pulp and pave the way to bronchitis.
Anyway, the upshot is that I am ruddy tired and quite frankly can't be bothered to record and edit even a short video.
I don't have the space either. All the parts for the worlds most awesome NAS (16tb, 4 mirrored) have arrived except for the hard disks, kind of the most important part. Then again an NAS without an enclosure isn't really N or A. I didn't realise my bank balance was so perilously low. If I'd ordered less manly drives I would have been fine; but I can wait until I transfer some money across. All told I now have (or rather, will have) some 20plus terabytes of storage. Hard disks are about the only expenditure you can justify in terms of tech because they generally last long enough, and you can get an awful lot of space for the money now.
Anyway. When I get some space and whatnot, I'll put all the pictures I've recently taken on there, and they will subsequently appear here.
Until then!

Chest Bump
So I played for Lion this weekend.
I started for only the second time this season, and I managed to snag a try by being in the right place at the right time when one of us put a kick through that bounced horribly for the other team.
I also bruised my windpipe, by letting someone hit me in the chest. The result is that I have a tiny amount of blood present every time I cough, meaning that my mouth constantly tastes like blood. Which is gross. I didn't carry on because coughing up blood is as scary as hell, and because my chest, and by extension shoulders, neck and back, were bloody sore. I went to the hospital and had an x-ray, despite knowing it was pointless and was promptly sent home. I'm still coughing a tiny amount of blood so I'll go back to the hospital and tell them to cauterise it or something.
Now for the defence: I had to tackle him in a moronic position because there was a 2 on 1 overlap and without me making like a scarecrow, he would have just passed out of the tackle and they would have scored. So there. Anyway, that aside, I have some more pictures from climbing last week, and a couple from the game this week.
The guy behind (his name is Yuu) has got the best expression I think I've ever seen in a picture. Look at that smile!
This is me prepping for one of the pictures further down the post.
This is me trying to smile while weighing a lot.
This is me failing to smile for long enough.
This is, without a doubt, the best picture of me that I have ever seen. I'm trying to smile while holding onto the wall with one hand - and it just isn't working. I smile every time I see this!
This is the obligatory end of season team picture. I'm bloody cold at this point so have my tracksuit and hat on. We won all our games this season so we're going to play in a promotion match in two weeks, against Japan Airlines.

And this is just another shot of me getting up to the protrusion for the photo.
