New year!

So.
The new year is rapidly approaching. Happy New Years Japan!
Lots of things i need to do in the new year. A lot of them will get done, albeit sloooowly.
First and foremost i need to re-establish the dietary regimen i`ve made for myself. Its really rather simple :
Breakfast : One glass (150ml) pink grapefruitjuice, breakfast cereal (Rapunzel 100g, 1 shredded apple, 100ml Goji berry juice, 150g greek yoghurt).
Lunch : 4 slices of bread (Martin`s Grove) w/ one can of sardines (alternately Olive oil, balsamico, and chipotle sauce.) One carrot, one banana.
Pre exercise (approx. 1630 hours) 200 ml fish soup, one fish cake.
Dinner : Situational, vegetables, fish, rice, potatoes, pasta. Otherwise what is being served.
After dinner : One piece of Mulu Raw Chocolate (Dark), one cup of hot cocoa.
Evening meal : 200 ml milk, 150 ml tomato juice, 2 slices of bread, 1 w caviar & mayonnaise, 1/2 w herring (various makes), 1/2 w jam (preferably ginger/apple).
Optional (afternoon) : 250 ml of ginger (fresh, shredded) tea, 1 non-alcohol beer.

This seems to me to be close to an optimal, enjoyable diet. And i like establishing reliable patterns of consumption!

Other than that i have to figure out if alternating going to the gym one day and swimming the other is too much of a strain on my body. It seems to me that it might leave me too exhausted to never have any days for recuperation. We shall see.

Other than that optimal sleep in point remains fixed at 2150 hours, and optimal wake-up point would be 0400 to 0500 hours. Though i find it difficult to mount the enthusiasm required for awakening that early. (I think this can be remedied by having an activity prepared the previous evening, but i am at a loss at to what would be sufficiently enticing.....hmm, maybe porn, yeah, not a bad idea really.... we shall see, at least to get the pattern established.)

so, i have a new iPod ready, which means i can read on my way to work. I will probably churn through the bible, just to have that book under my belt. I might optionally do lecture series, but i want to read the bible, so i`ll save lectures for the gym and times when i`m wandering in the city on errands and in transit.

I have also gotten myself a voice recorder. This will simplify expressing myself when i am in pre-sleep and post-sleep modes. I have until now found the idea of writing in pre-sleep phases annoying, since it means finding pen and paper and opening my eyes. Just pressing a button and then speaking my mind seems more beneficial/accessible. This will also make it easy to recount my dream experiences immediately after having endured them, this will surely be a boon. With a text-to-speech program i will be able to get these musings and recollections in print and analyed as soon as possible. This will be entertaining, though i will have to keep those streams in a separate blog.

Other than that i will continue to try (and fail horribly) at both my linux from scratch and my The Elements of Computing Systems project. I`ve failed here before and will do so again, though i have always learned something along the way. These projects will eat what time i have left, and i would like for that time not to be disturbed by others, since they are important to me.... (As brainwashed by Serial Experiments Lain that i am!)

What else will happen in 2012? Well, the world will continue on its merry way to heaven/hell as speedily as possible, consumption will remain safely in the driver seat, and i`m willing to admit my guilty complicity in that travesty.

Well, i might launch project Entryism 2012. I would like to get a closer look at some of the political structures in this nation, and i`ll probably mount the enthusiasm to do that in January. It should be interesting, and we`ll see what we can get it to lead to in understanding and capacity for support of aspects of the world i hold dear. So i`ll see what insight into those structures one gets as a member, fun times!

This year it seems as if i`ll be able to afford the expenses incurred regarding general maintenance of my trike, which means that it`ll see the light to a greater extent than in the year that has passed. This will be super cool, especially if i get a remote control helicopter and a first person view camera to explere the surroundings when i need a break from the biking. FPV gear is starting to become affordable, so we`ll see where that leads. I`ll also need a functional way to recharge batteries and such whilst in transit, though something can probably be arranged at some rest stops.

Other than that i am in want of a kayak, but do not consider it to be a priority to afford myself one this year. I will, if i can, but i won`t be troubled if i don`t.

I NEED TO READ MORE BOOKS!

SEriously, i just Re-discovered Sonic Warfare, which has been on my to-do list forever, i need to get at it, preferably soon.

The what?! Yes.

Newest in new.

Brrrrrr. It`s a cold world outside.

Who me? Worried?

Yes.

--------

Anything else i need to note? No drinking unless i happen to be on a date. New boots for better hiking. (Not that i`m a fan of hiking alone, i can always hope.)

So. I just bought Common`s latest album on the idea that it might not be crap. It was. Too bad. Me wants the Electric Circus back, but it`s too late for that.
