Yell at yourself in caps lock, yeah that’ll teach you!

On the 9th of November I turned 37, my darling wife got me a skateboard for a present and that day I skated with glee and enthusiasm, twas a thoroughly joyous time indeed.

However, one of my left leg muscle’s was having a grumpy bum day and in defiance of me getting my skate on again like days of yore and enjoying life’s little pleasures it jammed up and decided to tear a hole in itself…..
Yup, a hole right through the middle, so begins a month of physiotherapy, agonizing stretches and strength training not to mention the impact on the hip pocket and having the bug to skate again after all the years but not being allowed to.

Fast forward to today, the 10th of December, I’ve used the board for all of 30 minutes and every moment since that fateful day it has sat on a chair in my house looking at me with puppy dog eyes begging to get out there and surf the streets.
Well this morning I just had my last physio appointment and it was decreed that I can start skating again….
YOU HEAR THAT LEFT LEG MUSCLE! I CAN START SKATING AGAIN SO YOU BETTER JUST SUCK IT UP AND GET OVER YOURSELF, THIS IS HAPPENING.
AS FOR THE REST OF YOU BODY, DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT ACTING UP, YOU’RE ONLY 37 FOR GOODNESS SAKES SO START ACTING LIKE IT! (Feel free to act like you’re 21 though, might be better for both of us.)

So time will tell if addressing certain parts of my body in full caps type on the internet will pay off but either way I am excited to skate again.

Now let me announce my excitement by showing my age like a dad who is trying to relate to kids using uncool phrases from his youth…..
It’s gonna be rad man, totally bodashus, knarly dude…..
Party time, Excellent.

Bond… James Bond. I’ve gone super spy.

Over the weekend I finished watching the 50 years of Bond box set. I have always wanted to see them in order, maybe I should have watched Casino Royal and Quantum of Solace first so the rest would have been easy to pass off as Bond being in disguise.
Anyway last night I set up a web cam in my apartment so I could monitor it from home checking to see what my dogs do all day (sleeping, scratching and licking seem to be the done thing) and also so I could see if my house was entered by any unauthorized visits. We are moving soon and people are keen to see inside today, but when my wife or I are not there, we prefer this not to happen….
So I set up a camera and I’m monitoring it from work with the ability to record all that the camera sees and hears, and oh how super spy secret agent man do I feel right now.

Really I shouldn’t be suspicious that my land lord will bring some one through after I asked them not to when we weren’t home. Even though they did say that it would be better for them to bring someone through today after I’d told them that I’d prefer them to wait until Wednesday and after they asked if it was OK to do so in the first place.
But I am suspicious, after a year of trust issues occurring due to experiences I’ve had with my landlord, I’m now at a point where I’m second guessing every interaction I have with them.

However, have I gone too far this time? Webcams in my apartment, recording programs in place to capture evidence?
am I just being paranoid? or, is it just that I’ve watched so much James Bond lately that I’ve let it get in my head a bit to much? Heaven help me if I start watching The X-files again.

I have to say though, that thr little adrenaline rush I got today when I remotely logged into my home PC from work and turned on the webcam seeing my living room appear in a small window on my desktop was exciting… A little too exciting perhaps.

Has this happened to you? Have you ever been so influenced by a movie, game or TV show that it starts to get you thinking about it in your own world? Or do you fantasize about doing something that you saw in entertainment media?
I’d love to hear about it, I’m sure there are people out there who get caught up easily like me…. I hope so anyway.
