 This morning I woke up with the same headache I went to bed with last night. That's always fun.

I spent the morning watching YouTube videos and AFKing in Terraria again. I also clicked around the internet. I might have been researching things but I can't remember what.

I did laundry for the first time today with my new washer and dryer. And I really went for it because along with my clothes I also washed towels and sheets. The washer is weird because you put the detergent in first. I'm used to it having it's own slot or just pouring it on the clothes. My dryer is also really short, but I like both the washer and dryer. They are both pretty quick and they seem to get the job down quite well. I also managed to put new sheets on my bed and ironed all my pants for the week, so it was a pretty productive day in respect to clothes and sheets.

I watched American Assassin and Dunkirk this afternoon and this evening. American Assassin was good but also super depressing with the opening on the beach. I have learned that it is based on a series of books (the first of which sounds a lot like the plot of White House Down) so there is potential to turn this into a series of movies. I could see it being a new Jason Bourne. I also liked Dunkirk. Also kind of depressing but that was to be expected. I liked how the timeline jumped around so you got to see the same events from various perspectives.

After Dunkirk I played a little bit of CoD: WW2. I didn't have any particularly good games but I finished a contract and a daily order and I had fun. I finally made a class for the gamemodes that involve me trying to capture a point or in War when I'm trying to stand next to a tank. There is a perk or basic training or whatever it's called that allows you to take more explosive damage and when you pick up enemy grenades that have been thrown, it resets their timer, so you actually have time to throw them back. Most people cook their grenades a little bit and I have never been able to successfully throw one back without it blowing up in my hand or my face, neither of which are good. I also got to the fourth level of the Armored class which also allows you to take less explosive damage (and I think the level before that is less fire damage, or vice versa). It is really nice and saves me a little bit of the annoyance of running across the map, jumping on a point, and immediately getting blown up. That still happens, but sometimes I'm able to stay alive just long enough to capture the point, plant the bomb, or get the tank across the line.

I've been distracted again by 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown but now I'm going to record my audio journal so I can go to bed because it is after 11:30PM and I want to go to bed.
