Has it Really Been 5 Months Since I Wrote on this Thing?

Sorry for my absence. Two people have admitted to reading my blog and I can't let down my two newest, bestest, empathetic friends.

The UK Open Memory Championship was good. Did 4 personal bests and ended up with a score of 4093. My Silver Trophy looks amazing by the way. Gonna aim for 4400 to 4500 for the upcoming Swedish Championship next month.

I like totally screwed up my 10 minute cards which I think is my best disciplin during practising, I consistantly get 3-4 decks with perfect recall, I blame it on the recall sheets so I took it upon myself, after advice from Idriz, to provide my own recall sheets for cards.

The comedy is at a complete standstill at the moment, I still got the jokes I'm just not in the jokey jokey mindset. I don't really like going to comedy clubs, they're not funny apart from the compare and they're always drawn out long winded events. If I were to do comedy it would have to be original (obviously), quick, deep comedy if that makes sense, and include jokes only 10% of the audience would get at a time, that way they talk about it afterwards.

I'd have to include memory and maybe something else but I don't know what, I'll work on a random skill and include that.

Oh yeah, alos the Japanese equivalent to BBC came round two weeks ago. They were cool, they gave me a perfectly wrapped Baby G watch, pen and deck of cards.

As soon as they arrived they asked me to memorise a list of words, fair enough, but like I don't like words. I memorised 50 and made 3 mistakes...oops. They came with me to the gym, watched me whilst I dilated my biceps then came back to my house to finish filming and conclude with an interview.

Erm, what else is new? Throwing cards has slowed down because they got all bent and I don't wanna open a new deck.

Sorry if my writing style is hard to follow, my diction and grammar is based on conversational and informal talking styles rather than textbook literature, hence the reason why it doesn't read that smoothly. I'm gonna try and read The 48 Laws of Power and something else before I go back to university.

Also, in the last month I put on 2 kilos and look bigger, but I need to strip off some of this fat, esp from my spare tyre.

Owf Veederzeyan.
