Finally the weekend is here again, sigh, the weeks seem to just come and go for me and I am eternally looking forward to the following weekend, and the following weekend, and so on and so forth.. Life has gradually taken a monotone timetable where time seems to have lost meaning and days trickle by somberly. Weekends come with muted enthusiasm, and go just as quickly as it arrived, the weekdays are always more lengthy in perspective, and the weekends always too short.
This week hasn't been too different from previous weeks, only more physically strenuous, I've got a pulled muscle still waiting to heal, and every muscle and ligament in my body is crying out for respite and mercy. My whole body aches with every attempted movement and I move like a man 20 years older. We had an IPPT (That physical test in the Army), a killer SOC (Standard Obstacle Course) with 6 sand-cans for additional weight on top of our usual burden. When I did the low-rope I felt as if my arms were ripped out from my shoulder sockets! My wrists hurt after carrying 24-kg missiles and I just feel bone-weary after countless sessions of physical exertion.
Since I had no mood to go out, and when the new Samsung Home Theater system with it's 5.1 surround speakers replaced the Hi-fi set in my living room, I've had 2 heavy-duty Hi-fi speakers lying around, and today I took the opportunity to install the old Hi-fi speakers to my XPC. Now I have an additional 800watts of audio power! Talk about audiophile overkill! The 2 speakers are even larger than an average full-cased computer casing. It may still be analog and stereo, but it's got dual woofers, dual tweeters and mid-range speakers. Eat my dust Creative!
