Early mornings and productive days

So last week ended well enough. On Friday night was a rugby game of Med vs Law school... yes, the ultimate professions fight in a match to see who gets to get paid more for the rest of their lives. The game was pretty fun to watch as I'd never seen rugby before and it was an interesting (read: violent) sport. I was with some mates and it was a beautiful night and a great way to unwind after studying Evidence Based Medicine. At the thing was a 5$ all-you-can-eat nasty sausages and all-you-drink lethal punch. After several cups, I was nicely smashed and having a good time. I rode with my friend back to his house, hung out for a bit, then went back home to fall asleep around 12:30.
Come 5am on Saturday, I was wide awake. It's an interesting phenomenon, the mechanism I do not know, that sometimes if I drink a lot, I wake up the next morning much earlier than normal and feeling much more refreshed than when I sleep normally. I know that this is strange and counter-intuitive but it's true. I checked my email because I was due to play at a beach Frisbee tournament and was waiting to hear from my ride. I didn't hear from him so I guess no beach Frisbee for me. I laid around for a while, watched 2 episodes of Scrubs, and as the dawn was dawning, decided to bike up the local cute mountain we have here in Brisbane: Mt Coot-tha.It was a beautiful morning as I rode on the river and up the mountain. It was a struggle getting up there, lemme tell you. As I got to the top, I watched the morning calm settling over Brisbane, as the fog around the city was lifting. I even observed a sad sight that led me intuit that some unlucky fellow didn't have as pleasurable a Friday night as I. Oh well, Mr. Anonymous. I wish you good luck in the future.
Well I got home at 8am, with the whole day ahead of me and already being tired. I made a smoothie, and spent some time fucking around on the internet. I then went to my precious market, came home and made breakfast, talked to family and then went to school to study. For whatever reason (hmm, I wonder why) I was an unproductive mess at school and hardly got any work done. I came home, at some dinner, watched Scent of a Woman and went to sleep early.
Today was pretty typical for a lame Sunday: wake up, talk to family (I talked to Roee who goes to Peru tomorrow with Meryll Page!), eat poached eggs, go to school to study, come home, eat, watch shit, etc. Sigh. Oh well, soon I'll be done with my test and never have to study again... until July.
Anyway, as I observed last week, my blog was rapidly developing to a food-for-thought...no, food-for-cooking forum. I have become quite the foodie lately and really love cooking and buying stuff to cook with. As I'm trying to fall asleep, I even think about possible recipes to make. Anyway, as an outlet for my foodism, I've started a food blog: http://meacooks.blogspot.com. It's only recipes and whatnot, so don't go there if you're looking for the typical insight and humor of this site, only if you want to be inspired to eat like a kingly sort of person.
