Wow, another year already. Time really does fly when you are running around like a headless chicken trying to get things done and sort out businessy type things.

I have to admit my holiday was definitely much needed. I feel more revived, more energetic, more... ah, hell, who am I kidding? I got lazy and now that I have to do things again I feel like pulling a five year old temper tantrum.

So, today was back to the Crossfit box where I could barely do a pushup. Okay, so that might be an over exaggeration but my god it was tough. You would think I have never worked out before.

Tomorrow dawns the new Kung Fu year and horror of horrors: It is a Grading Year.
Which means lots and lots of fun filled stress. And training. Lots of training. Thinking about it makes me feel tired and sleepy.

it doesn't help that the awesome Sub-Tropical Heat of Death has hit us, and the humidity zaps your strength and will all while causing you to bake in your own skin.

However, I do have Diablo III and Dawn of War: Retribution to keep me occupied. The former clocking more game time naturally. I have also ordered a copy of Skyrim so while all you gamers out there play the expansion, I am actually going to play the game.



As for Dawn of War, well, it kinda started as a bit of a joke because my adorably handsome boything is completely addicted to it. Well, he is in love with the Warhammer 40,000 Universe in general. Thats right, I have to compete with a Space Marine.



Yeah, thats right, isn't he sexy?

As for me, I am favoring the Imperial Guard. I like being a boring human. So sue me.



I like playing the Force Commander as my champion. TBH though I haven't really given anyone else a try. Nor have I given another race a try.

I did start playing the Ork campaign.



However, it is pretty much exactly like the Imperial Guard Campaign (which I completed) so I am possibly not going to finish it.

So I am busy with Skirmishes against the AI. I am a bit scared of playing against other players. I don't feel like being told I am a complete noob. The boytoy assures me that people are a little nicer on DoW, but I have played enough LoL to be skeptical.




A little more gaming, but more xbox orientated. The boy and I are playing co-op Rayman Origins.



Which is surprisingly fun platform game.

If you don't believe me, Ben 'Yahtzee' Crowshore did a really cool video review comparison with Rayman Origins and Super Maria Adventure 3D Land.

Anyway, it is lots of fun, can hold up to four players and is pretty challenging at the same time as being really enjoyable.

And considering I can play it (and I suck at xbox) and the boy is still challenged (he lives on his xbox) it is a great co-op game.

Also, you can hit the other player. Which is great for stress relief



So other than that, I have pretty much been watching and re watching Doctor Who. I have started watching Fringe again, which is interesting.

On that note, I think I am going to go have a cold shower and possibly play a game or two of DoW.

Catch you all on the flip side
