No TV

Y'know, for a moment there I thought I was developing a drinking problem. After a three day marathon effort of drinking (24 bottles of beer, 4 bottles of champagne and 1 bottle of vodka) and a day of suffering from minor alcohol poisoning I figured I'd maybe gone too far but as it turns out I didn't. For one thing, I don't drink every day, only on my days off...usually; I have the next two days off and not a drink will be in sight, I will also have two days off early next week and I will remain dry. Secondly, I have an almost full bottle of wine in the fridge that I used for cooking that I'm not even considering tasting. Also, on the way home from work I was offered a beer and instead of taking part I decided to go to the gym and then hit the pool. Come next weekend though I will be drinking again, but hopefully with a little more self discipline and try to maintain an easy buzz over the three days and maybe even be a little more social, even though I've been enjoying my alone time very much. Since leaving South of The Island and arriving in the Northern Tropics I've been more outgoing than I have been in years. Not only am I doing physical training on a daily basis (sometimes twice a day), playing table tennis and swimming but I'm in town and the beach regularly. And when the wet season slash cyclone season slash bullshit summer heat begins I will be isolated by nature itself. So, I'm very thankful I don't have a drinking problem. On the flip side I have been watching a lot of TV. But if American television has taught me anything (and lets face it, it has taught me everything I know) its that you can never get enough. I'm okay with this!

Table tennis used to be one of my favourite games...
