It's legitimately hot in the north of England today. The sun is out in full force and it's not that fake 'cool' sun that we get 10 months of the year.

The day has gone well so far. I've implemented a "to do" list in to my life and I think it's working well. Not surprisingly I seem to be getting more things done and it's making me feel like less of a bum for sure. I've only been operating this system a few days so we'l see how long I can keep it up. On todays "to do" list I have:

-Write a blog
-Run
-Bicep/Tricep/Situp workout
-2000+ hands of stars msnl (gotta get to 7500 vpps this month and i've hardly played at all on stars lately)
-Do at least 1/2 of part 3 of a video review I'm doing for a student
-Buy a travel laptop/hobiejuan books/contact lenses
-Check rooms/rates and flights for vegas.

I just went out for a 25min run in the blazing midday sun(lol yea it's like mid 20's here i'l prob evaporate in vegas). Before that I bought a Macbook Air off the Apple website. I wasn't sure what to go for and I'd heard the Air was a bit of a novelty/overpriced but looking in to it the newest model seems ideal for what I want it for so I'm confident I made the right decision.

I've also got some other things done off the list but I still need to put my hands in and do the video thingy and look at vegas. I keep hearing about these direct return deals people have gotten from Gatwick for under £500. I must just be a fail at google or something b/c the cheapest I can find are double that. I might just end up getting a 1 stop flight, but frankly I'd rather spend as little time going through U.S immigration/customs as possible on my trip (got pulled up last time and had a long wait that nearly resulted in missing my flight home).

I also made a live 400nl video yesterday which should be out soon if it gets the all clear from Vitas. The sound quality is a bit off since I used a standard mic as opposed to a usb one (I broke mine last week and the one I ordered hasn't shipped yet). Anyway there were some interesting spots early in the vid although it tailed off near the end I think it gives a pretty good picture of how the games play. As I said in my last blog I intend on doing as many vids as poss before I leave for vegas so my daily list should come in pretty handy with getting that done.

Tomorrow is officially a day off from the list as I'm having a bit of an all dayer with some old school friends. We're starting about 11 with breakfast at Weatherspoons and going to Leeds to watch Yorkshire vs Lancashire 20/20 (that's cricket fyi). Hopefully the weather is just as good as it is today and the White Rose prevails in emphatic fashion. Either way I'l prob be snapnecked by the early evening.

Gl all,
Rob.
