Commander prerelease
Staring at Euston station. I've just had a Nando's dinner. Now that I'm less hungry, I can think straight again. I'm thinking about the weather, it's probably not raining right this instant, but it is close. I'm annoyed that I'm starting to have a cough again, and I blame the rain. I shouldn't be catching a cold so close to the summer.
I'm thinking about how I spent £60+ on what essentially is cardboard. Today is the release event for the Commander theme decks for MtG, and I purchased a couple. I'm wondering if it is adult behaviour to splash out like this, or if it's a savvy way to spend money since I had half a day of fun.
Finally I'm thinking about the route home, how the engineering work on the tube means that the usual train that goes exactly where I want doesn't work today, I can either endure the hell that is 'replacement bus', or find a lot more complicated way back. On the cusp of being ill, neither makes me happy.

Back to diary enties
ThinkBook is a good app to make notes with, but to write continuos pros really Notes is the best one to use. Probably better than Pages for what I wanted to do, jotting down random fripperies while I wait for my food.
I have voluntarily got myself off the back of my supervisor by saying that I would just make a start on my thesis while you focus on get the simulation package ordered. I'm going to regret it, I bet the form is still on his desk.
I have proven to myself that I do not want to be a writer, by counting the cobwebs gathering at the science blog I tried to write. I love writers, I love storytellers. It is just that I can never be one.
Next to me is a couple, who can't be much beyond their first date, judging from the conversations they're having, still probing into each others profession. Not sure what the man does, but the lady is probably an arty designer type, talking about how she tries to incorporate 'deliciousness' into her fashion designs, to go against the industry's demonising of food. Actually the guy is probably also an artist, now explaining some installation he is working on or something.
Another cool profession I'm not designed for.
