I’ve pulled a muscle in my shoulderblade. Well, actually, someone else pulled it for me during MMA, but still, a muscle was pulled. It’s not that painful, but it’s very consistent, and it makes sleeping a very restless affair. As a result, I’m walking around in a bit of a foggy haze. Lucky for me, my last cluster-attack was on Thursday, so perhaps the Verapamil I’m taking is actually doing something good. I foresee bad things happening if I get an attack while so sleep-deprived. In fact, I’m starting to get uncomfortable with the idea of being outside for too long, not to mention being in public transport. As for my shoulder, perhaps I should skip kung fu for a little while and concentrate on swimming a bit more.

I’ve been playing a lot of chess on Facebook, but unfortunately, with mixed results. I just lost a game to Dennis, which went sour due to a mistake I made really early on, but I still manage to grind him down to a point where I had a really good chance of winning. Sadly, I positioned myself poorly and he managed to pull off the win. I’m getting closer and closer to finally beating Jim, who is really very good at chess, and even against Edwin it’s no longer like he’s out clubbing little baby seals. One of these days I’ll actually pull off a win.

I finished Hitman: Blood Money last night, and I have to say that the Hitman series is probably one of my favourite computer game series out there. The games are all a combination of a puzzle and an action game with an interesting story and I’ve enjoyed playing all four instalments. Considering the climax of H: BM I wonder if they’re going to do a fifth game, perhaps with a slightly different angle.
