It has been a surprisingly good day.

Starting way too early, I rolled hungry out of bed after much too few (around four by own guesstimation) hours of sleep. Some combination of post-running high, exhaustion and Iphone app-related excitement conspired. In any case, I decided sleep was a lost cause for now, got up and breakfasted.

Then I sat down with Xcode and spent most of the time before noon making just about as little progress as I thought made sense for my energy level. When lunchtime rolled around I was really hungry for pizza and slightly annoyed at my whole angle toward coding.

I am not sure when a lunch of pizza (and a surprisingly varied and good offering of salads), cola and coffee last hit the spot this perfectly.

I returned to my code full, rather happy, both well sugared and caffeinated and made nice and steady progress all afternoon.

(My Iphone app is actually all finished and available, but some more things outside my control need to be fixed for it to actually be of any use to people. In the meantime, the things I have got done today add up to large parts of a great 1.1 release.)

For evening entertainment, I tried my hand at Metroid prime 3 for a few minutes. But my mood clearly was not one for a boss fight tonight, so I instead watched Good Will Hunting. Great film, and I once again watched without ruining the experience with too much idle stuff on the side. Holidays having a good effect on my attention span and focus, I think.

I sort of expect to sleep really well tonight.

But I can not say I am counting on it.

Nor am I sure
that sleeping poorly
would automatically mean bad things
for tomorrow.

Questions:
1) When am I supposed to watch and/or listen to all these podcasts?
2) Will this cosy rain last all night like I hope?
3) Will I play Monkey island 2 in bed again?
