End-of-Week Check-In: Friday, February 5

Been a while...so let's check in on my progress...

Thing #1: Took about a week off due to illness and travel, but am back in the swing of things.  Started changing up my cardio to do more interval training.  Think this might work...down to 222.
Thing #2: I tried the first lesson of the first chapter of the first unit of the first level of Japanese via Rosetta Stone, largely to see how it worked.  Going to have to try it again to retain some things.  So far, though, I'm pretty intrigued by it.
Thing #3: No progress on the whole needle thing.  Need to work on that.
Thing #4: Tried a burger at a nice Asian/Fusion restaurant while I was briefly back home...very disappointing.  The photo didn't turn out, though, and it ended up really not being worth it...despite the promise of wasabi mayo.
Thing #5: Trying to do more regular entries on the blog.  Need to step it up.  Wondering if I maybe just focus on my enjoyment of reality television?
Thing #6: Turns out my friend's place where weird stuff was supposedly happening may now be "clean."  Dang it.  Was looking forward to some ghost hunting.
Thing #7: Need to do this.
Thing #8: Getting my Survivor Pool off the ground.  More on this next week.

Ghostly Lead

In Regards to Thing #6: "The Eerie Thing"


Finally have a lead on tracking down something "supernatural" to look into.  Turns out one of my friends and his roommate have found lights mysteriously turned on around their apartment, doors closed, etc.  Coincidentally, a few days before this started happening, one of their downstairs neighbors had prematurely passed away (which they found out about after the strange occurrences had happened).

In addition, I had gone over there a couple days after the neighbor had passed away, unaware that happened, and saw something strange myself...but didn't think twice about it until I received this news.

Anyway, more on this later.
