Nice day. Been playing a lot of New Vegas. Never before a training session, of course, that's still my rule. Cause it can be tiring for the CNS, just a little bit.

Yesterday I was playing and electricity went out. It was annoying, of course, but it was a strangely magical moment. The streets looked so colorful in the night. Neighbors' lights went out too, but street lights didn't. I love december, always having that Christmas mood. You know we could have shared our calendar with the western christians, but it was just, like, a bureaucracy issue? Someone (I think St. patriarch Tikhon) just didn't fix it, so now we have another difference between the east and the west. not a big deal, of course, there is a lot of allure to having Christmas in January as well.

I had 120 beans of coffee. They didn't affect me too much cause I had some chocolate with it, so I reckon my stomach was slightly more busy dealing with it rather than the coffee. I decided to have 100 more beans. Which is a lot compared to last week. So far I'm not feeling "uninhibited", just playing guitar a lot. By the way, I got my Epiphone acoustic. It's cheap and it's great quality compared to all the other guitar I bought and returned. Simply fantastic. Just played my "Prayer of the Unavenged" and then played a small classical with the junior acolyte downstairs.

"EPIPHONE PRO-1 Acoustic Vintage Sunburst" - that's what I got for a rough equivalent of $200.

Maybe I could record myself playing it, just for fun and memory. I know I'm gonna reread this lil blog some time in the future (and cringe at all the typos (yes, they're typos, or caffeinated mistakes)). And I use eastern punctuation rules here, so that might unusual.

Well, not gonna lie, the coffee affected me in a worse way than I expected. 120 beans was okay, so then I had more and I got into a wrongful state. Then, as I was about to start my workout, I had to be distracted for a few hours. Later at night, I had another cup of instant coffee. In the end, it all led to a harmful state of uninhibition.

The workout was nice - I decided to keep it super light, since I had to be distracted.

Overhead press - small warmup, and 37 kgs - 2 sets of 10 (ez bar)

Squat - only sets of 10

20 - 40 - 70 - 90 - 110 - all nice and easy, fixing my breathing. I don't need to take deep breaths every time, small breaths in and out - mostly in, of course, to keep the core stable.

And that was about it.

 08.10.2023 Great day, feeling great. Woke up earlier than normal, worked more that usual. Feeling extra energy. The night was cold. I kept seeing dreams about (spoiler) The Emperor from BG3, hehehe 😉 Cause I watched one of his cutscenes, even though I ain't been playing yesterday. Yesterday, I was drained. I was drained on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at night, to a varying degree. Today I feel much more fresh than I have been in a long time. Like, a part of my brain is extra creative. Also, I have been eating rather little - a couple eggs swallowed hastily, a few bananas, a few glasses of milk. Two mokas and one small conventional brew. I'm thinking of doing bench today, and PP + Squat tomorrow. Reasonable? Yes, on the surface it is reasonable. Light-medium-light bench, sets of 5, around 120. 4 sets of 5, maximum velocity, no pauses whatsoever. When you've got the same muscle strength composition as me it sort of feels easier to bench with a pause, and bumpi...

 10.04.2023 Nice day. Not too bad. Sleep - 4/10, nutrition - 6/10. Ran out of coffee, used some of the robusta from the stash. Now having one, fighting the desire to lie down, cause if I lie down I'm just not gonna be able to sleep. Jammed. I figured back in the day I made a lot of these micro-songs that are guitar and bass and midi drums. So, that's one of the things that fuels creativity. You have to save them and listen to them. Then you get something. My old headphones are buzzing a lot. Might be time to buy new ones soon. *** Today's workout is 4 sets of 5 with 77,5 percent. A sixth session in the program which I've been using in defferent variations for everything. So, 77,5% of 150 would be 116. But I'm not perfectly sure if I can do that well in my current shape. So, I might want to get up to 115 starting from a lighter weight. Maybe from 110. Now that I think about it, it's actually quite doable and it's very late. I don't want to hurry. And I do...

 14.09.2022 DL plan - 175 for 5, 200 for 5, 210 - 5*5, 200*1 clean single, maybe even overhand. Nice day. Slept very little. Ate a lot before I went to bed, so I had no appetite when I woke up. Tried to call and message some of my clients. Coordination issues. Sometimes people just can't pick a proper time. Understandable. I often think about how humanity evolved to proritise quick decisions over slow, but 100% sure ones. Better be two times faster and 80% sure than two times slower and 99% sure, amirite? He he. Having my second coffee. Or third? Not sure. Can't remember. Today I'm trying to overstuff the moka pot. The taste is awesome, but the brewing process feels dubious. Played guitar a bit. Practicing licks, playing quickly, playing up the neck. I don't gotta play, I gotta write and record lyrics and vocals. I already made a somewhat decent verse. And I have a rough idea for the chorus. I can't believe how much slower my process has become. What is it? Playing ...
