This is one of those “blan­ket” posts that attempts to cover every­thing that hap­pened (or didn’t) over the last few days. As you may have picked from the thor­oughly dis­con­nected title.

Sun­day saw a trip to the day/night cricket semi-final between Aus­tralia and Sri Lanka (I say that like I know what’s going on, but I had to ask Dad who was play­ing that morn­ing. ’twas purely a social thing for me!) with var­i­ous friends from church.

It was pretty good times, but I man­aged to get burnt despite putting sun­screen on every hour (it was 4hr SPF30+ cream!). I think I missed part of my arms (the under­side!) in the first hour, and by the sec­ond hour they’d already been suf­fi­ciently dam­aged to start turn­ing bright red (it was about 2pm… yeah, easy to burn here in Oz). The Sri Lankans (spelling?) lost, but looked like they were hav­ing the most fun of any­one in the ground regardless!

So yeah, it’d rock to be Sri Lankan!

Any­way, I ate some horrendously-overpriced-sport-venue food, prob­a­bly didn’t QUITE drink enough water (prob­a­bly drank about 3L at the cricket alone, but was sit­ting in full sun, so…), and hadn’t been sleep­ing ter­ri­bly well for the past week (or two). I’d been stick­ing my hand up for a few too many things some weeks back and it all finally started to come unrav­elled last week, I guess. Hope­fully things will get bet­ter from here, we’ll see. So yeah, var­i­ous fac­tors… I got home and inside okay (albeit with a mas­sive mas­sive headache), went upstairs, and lost nearly every­thing I’d eaten that day. I got to bed but only for fourty min­utes or so before I woke up again… found I appar­ently had more food left in my stom­ach! Doh.

I didn’t go to work yes­ter­day, and spent most of the day in bed… read­ing Harry Pot­ter (because I still hadn’t read book 5 and a whole day is time enough to fin­ish pretty much any book). The headache had mostly sub­sided and stom­ach was fine by the end of the day, but I’ve got a cold now… shrug. Tis very odd. I was at work today but felt kind of lethar­gic + not that pro­duc­tive… but it was bet­ter get­ting some stuff done than spend­ing another day in bed doing noth­ing (mind you, it would have been back to Great Expec­ta­tions fol­lowed by North and South if I’d stayed home… hmm…). We’ve got a whole bunch of excit­ing stuff lined up for the Sun­rise Fam­ily web­site which is get­ting rolled out soon, but obvi­ously don’t waste your time look­ing if you don’t watch the show (I know I wouldn’t! Once var­i­ous fea­tures launch I’ll prob­a­bly post geeky details here… we’re look­ing at social media stuff espe­cially (which shouldn’t come as a sur­prise to those who know Yahoo!‘s acqui­si­tion pat­terns, but see­ing as 7 is very much MSM it’s pretty excit­ing), inte­gra­tion with prod­ucts from Yahoo!‘s sta­ble, etc.

So yeah, that’s what’s been hap­pen­ing. Con­sider blog­ging un-slipped.
