Techno drama

Sigh, so I did update to the new iOS, In fact it's been a few days.
The reason I don't experience too many problems on my phone is because I keep browsing on my phone to a minimum. Usually using my tablet and or my laptop to do the dirty work.

Phone is merely used for updating blogs, making phone calls, getting messages and chatting and sometimes making payments. Other than that I don't give a flying rats ass to my phone, and oh, instagram too.

Earlier though when I was an avid twitter user, my phone had a lot more reasons to be fully functional, now however I don't much care.
The one thing that does annoy me is that almost twice a day while writing a mail etc, I'm notified to re enter my password for my mail addresses in settings, and imap sever mail not found, and I've to continuously keep re entering details. That's a wee bit annoying and it's been a regular feature for a long time.
I think it's got something to do with VPN usage, or perhaps it's a safety feature for when sometimes I log in to my accounts from different machines.

Something is wrong with my laptop too. I think it might be a virus from one of the more obscure torrent sites.
It duplicates my browsing tab when I click on a page, turning the original one into some sort of ad. It's especially annoying when I've paused a YouTube channel, and clicking it again often results in a new tab where it restarts, with the present page turning into another spam page.

It's annoying enough to make me want to contemplate mac virus cleaner.
This is the first time a situation like this has happened on my mac.

Perhaps I need to reformat the damn thing.
That's another bloody pain, because now I'll have to transfer all the data I'd been too lazy to shift to hard drives.

Deep sighs.

This morn

There's an Arch Enemy song stuck in my head this morning. I woke up to its guitar riff playing in my head and it just won't go.
I'll probably do a bit of air guitar in the shower.

This brings back memories.
They changed their singer though..ah well.

Aural traumas

I say however bad a book/ audiobook, once you've started (I've started) it's rather insulting to the said medium of entertainment to leave it half finished.
Which is why as much as I didn't grow to love 'razor girl' audiobook, I'm listening to it still, in fact almost finished with it.

It's not becoming as a reader or listener to leave words half way through. And what am I if not evangelical about words.

'Dresden files' – now that I something I've never in my oddest fantasies thought of delving into.
But then again, why not?
Just like I never thought I'd ever try neon orange lipstick, and not only did I try it, it's now a permanent fixture for when I wish to guild the lily and add pizzaz to places it didn't need adding in the first place..

Recco's from sources most promising are not only respected but nosedived in with a relish so great that it'd almost come across as greedy.
Ah, but I am a glutton for honeyed echoes and silvery shadows.

a bit more..

Adding to the list of movies I'm not going to watch anymore

-Despicable me
why would you ruin a perfectly good movie with sad sequels, and now there's a third. No.

- Minions
they're only cute as sidekicks. an entire movie dedicated to them is a bit overkill. No more minions

- Kung Fu panda
see Despicable me



crisis in nothing

The air smells of lethargy and my eyes speak indifference. 

The internet is slow as slow can be, slower still is the day and has been, yet I complain of the few hours it holds.

What is in my clasp? a list of things that stay true in their form as a list, none of which have been accomplished, much to my fake chagrin.

I hold my fists at the sky even as ennui slowly becomes my champion, with a detached dullness scream mostly inward, half hearted too and complain of nothing. 

A slow trudge around the house, a full circle of cosmic lassitude and I come back to where I stood. 

A bit of writing which stays still far from completion, a small skeletal sketch of what might be a full drawing and in this half done land I reside, bickering on the inside with a flat jadedness, admonishing myself for everything I wanted to do and yet couldn't, because really I didn't have the energy nor the inclination to get anything done today.

This day, a mere carcass of yesterday, and of this carcass and still more to come we make the most.

Hither comes the noon

12:30 and the day drags on, lacking that certain joy de vivre I was imbued with yesterday.

In each life, they say some rain must fall—there was however no mention made of cyclonic rainstorms that leave behind torpid silence after a few short lived moments of coruscating conversations.

Is there a point to fishing on dry sea bed, when the only catch I could rely on are stagnating skeletal remains of flaccid memories that once were flush with life?
Perhaps salt the withered cadavers and hang them unceremoniously in a memory museum; or with a temerity unchallenged stride boldly to pristine waters and lay gossamer nets of renewed zeal.

In hopes to ensnare a whale, trip upon a bear with a dying trout in his mouth, haul him from his existence in talons fashioned out of agonizing needs and lovesick desperation.

Ah, today is going to crunch under my feet like a sun bleached vagrant leaf.

Weighty issues

Big ugly weights are a big bye bye for me.
Having changed my workout routine and thusly giving up unsightly weights for much cuter dumbbells.
I'm concentrating more on total body toning and fat burn, HIIT, and cardios and there's no space in my life for big weights anymore.
I'd been doing some strength training combined with cardio earlier and after a bit I realized how it didn't work for me.

Neither did a lot of running, when in fact I loved running, but the results didn't work for me. Somehow it left me too fatigued even though I tried many a permutation combinations of diets with it.
Also it'd started triggering migraines for me, that usually come about when body is low on fluids etc, but that probably wasn't the reason.
After battling many a weeks of pounding aches I came to the conclusion that running is not doing it for me anymore, which is when I changed my workout.
Also discarded with it was weights and the added cardio that I usually fused with weights, a sort of weights aerobics if you please.
Again, I didn't like how my body responded to it.

Now my workouts don't stretch for longer than 40 minutes, 4 times a week. Some low impact, some boot camp and some short bursts of high impact with full recovery and long stretches post workout.

This is a positive change and I feel it in my body and the improvements are visible too.( at least to my eyes)
Yes I feel tired and dead but the fatigue doesn't stay. I feel lighter on my feet and there's noticeably increased flexibility as well.
I rather prefer the leaner look than a well built muscles version, and somehow my body immediately starts forming muscular structure and that I'm not too fond of.

So currently I'm on an endorphin high, and happy with it. Let's see what adjustments I might have to inculcate in case my body needs another dose of modification.
