After a busy start to the month, sport and gaming have continued to feature as the job search continues but gladly this week thee are more positives than negatives as the month passed the mid point.
Monday began the week and saw the traditional blog catch-up from after a hectic weekend and saw me go on to design and print my next magnetic set as the new F1 season would begin at the weekend.The night ended with the creation of my first article for Touchline Banter which saw me earn £5.
It may not sound a lot but for me it was a proud moment as it was the first time I had been paid for writing something and hopefully not the last.
Tuesday saw a relaxed day of searching and researching while receiving my first TB payment and discussed the possibility of more articles in the future and I began part three of my Lego Simpsons house build.
Wednesday began with more building and blogging and also has some more DVD transferring and did the weekly Super League preview and did a bit of gaming to continue my pursuit to my first goal of the year -reaching 125.000 TA points overall.
Thursday began with a piece of history as i watched Ray 'Stallion83' Cox become the first person to reach 1 million gamerscore after an eight year pursuit and it was amazing when he got down to the final 50G needed doing so on Titanfall with a very dignified celebration from someone who has done a lot of work for it and makes my recreational pursuit small with me only on 88,000. As he only reached the million at 7am UK time i went to bed for a bit and then went to the shop for some dinner and in the afternoon caught up on my Sochi blog and moved on to parts four and five on the Lego Simpsons house as the night ended.
Friday began with some play on the new South Park game which I have to say was certainly worth the delay in release and is a fun game to experience, the morning saw more DVD transferring and some more blogging with the early evening seeing me travel to Wigan for the home game against Hull KR.
A fortnight since the last home game, it didn't feel as long when I reunited with the people who sit either side of me, that sounds strange but as I attend every game alone it means those next to me are people who I converse with at the games but don't see any other time.
A good game saw a 34-20 win and some winning bets, not massive but a few quid is better than nothing of course and after the game I went for my usual post-match takeaway and travelled home. The night ended with some TV catch up and my delicious tea as the week moved into the weekend.
Saturday began with a surprise as I received an e-mail from West Lancs Media who I had written for in 2013 before they suddenly disappeared in October. They messaged me to say they had closed due to a restructuring and that they would be back publishing soon while wondering whether I was interested in continuing where I left off and I was delighted to so it seems more of my work will be published in time.
The afternoon saw me do some sorting out of my shelves as I made space for where the completed Lego Simpsons house would be situated and while sorting I watched Hull v Man City on BT and Soccer Saturday and later Aston Villa v Chelsea on Sky with the latter meaning my weekly accumulator was ruined as Chelsea lost.
Sunday began with the first F1 race of the season and the new rule changes really had an effect with a lot of surprises with Rosberg winning and debutants Magnussen and Kyvat getting in the points with Riccardo finishing second only to be disqualified for a fuel flow problem (currently being appealed) but it was the start of a big day in sport.
Lunchtime saw what to most LFC fans is the biggest game of the season, away to United and a superb performance ended with a 3-0 win and a league double over the champions while meaning the hopes of a first PL title for Liverpool are growing as United slipped to 14 points behind. Afterwards, I watched the closing ceremony of the Sochi Paralympics which was amazing as it really showed how far the Paralympics have come in such a short time and shows that nothing is impossible.
The evening saw yet another brilliant episode of Top Gear and ended with some play on South Park while watching a Twitch stream of Ray Cox, his first since the '1 million.
Monday began with the rest of the Twitch stream and my South Park session then off to bed, the afternoon saw me return to Xbox Fitness after a month out and how it did show as I was knackered after half an hour and will be trying to do a workout each day from now on to reduce my weight as the workout yesterday has given me the motivation i I have lacked in the last month.
The evening saw my usual run of TV and watched snapped while on the Xbox One getting some unlocks but I froze in shock during the new episode of The Walking Dead as it was amazing and I wont spoil it for anyone reading who has recorded it but it was absolutely stunning to watch and the unlocking saw me reach my TA goal as I hit 125k which meant it was my seventh goal of the year done which shows the year is going well as this summary reaches an end.
Sportswise, I have covered both Liverpool and Wigan but on Saturday I listened to Skem play away at Blyth on the radio and sadly the lost 2-1 so 2/3 for my sides this weekend with a treble coming this week with a trip to Skem vs Witton later tonight, Wigan away at Warrington on Thursday and Skem v FC United on Saturday afternoon.
I hope to finish the Simpsons house which will be another goal completed and finish reading my first book of 2014 after a slow start and also playing my 50th different Xbox game of the year with a goal of 200 the eventual target.
So a packed week ahead after what has been a quiet one and mainly I hope for some progress on my current job applications while hopefully applying for more with yet more hope for a return to working before April so fingers crossed.
