1) PODxt Live
still have yet to make the presets for sunday's practice! arghhh been sleeping wayyy too much
2) Books! Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Safran Foer and Kitchen by Banana (!!!) Yoshimoto.
3) A digital watch to record some times... have been using my handphone for the past month, which is pretty pathetic.
4) more contacts... another box which should last for 3 months. instead of 1 and a half!?!? i lost the left side of my last lens because i slept in it and rubbed it out accidentally. only putting it here because it cost more than $20 and isn't edible hehe.
i was sort surprised at how many people remembered yesterday. like some army people (urgh..), almost the entire ygone and even emily (haha this was the most surprising). it's an annoyingly pleasent feeling... you don't really want people to remember yet you just like to see how many people remember.
still haven't preset my podxt live for any reasonably usable sounds yet. have loads of sounds to do. i think i'd use up at least 16 patches. and then there's the sound effects stuff which would take another bank or two but it's really cool because there are synth effects. so i can play the SUPER MARIO THEME on my guitar and have it sound just like a video game. ridiculously cheap thrills, yes i know.
had a stingray assault course event on friday, with my platoon winning. it consisted of a 50m swim in uniform (but with lifejacket), then a run to the field in SBO attire (but with organic weapons so we took turns with the GPMG!!!). at the field we would do a leopard crawl - gee crawling with the machine gun can really kill people. the rest wasn't really hard, a march around the place in a few circles first up some hill, to the standard obstacle course ground, then out of camp and back to the parade square.
the event was held time trial style, meaning two at a time which wasn't really fair. maybe they should hold it one at a time next time, so the teams would put it purely their own mental effort instead of chasing down another team like my platoon did. but we still won anyway. partly because the CO was sort of taunting us in the beginning saying how our company was pretty crappy. so everyone got damn dulan and went into crazy mode. we actually got a MEDAL award for this thing which would mark the first time i've ever won anything in our company. but unfortunately i didn't bring it home, because i was in a rush to book out (for my podxt live, nonetheless). because truthfully, booking out to me is more significant than anything else you could possibly do in the army.
but my entire body is still aching. didn't do enough stretching perhaps. and didn't wake up to run last night (and what happened to this morning's brick workout?! chris you lazy dumbass, you should do it before dinner)
it's like 7.08am and i have pretty much about two hours to tweak the effects. hopeee i don't fall back to sleep again.
