A motivation experiment
 

I'm ******* good at procrastinating. Extremely good at it, and it affects how much I might train in a given day. I train more the closer to a tourney but that's bad, you should train a lot because you want to be as good as you can. I read about a study that concluded that negatives for failure are more motivational then rewards for success, essentially a Carrot and Stick system but inverted. The carrot is poisonous and we want to avoid eating it.

So starting from tomorrow (it's 3:30 am here ffs) I'm going to introduce a new factor for my training days. I will play a certain number of games, 30-40 I am unsure might start at 35, and if I do not do this in that day then I will donate $50 to SC2SEA to be used as nirvana deems best. We'll see how well this works and if I'll be man enough to actually go ahead with it if I don't finish it. I also encourage my fellow Fray chums to kick me up the arse regularly if I happen to be dragging, peer pressure also works for this!

As for other happenings, The hobbit is a jolly good bit of fun, the dwarves form a much more entertaining fellowship then the original fellowship though perhaps I'm a touch biased there. The only valid criticism I could come to was that it seems like you're supposed to watch all the movies without having to wait a year or two for the next one to come out but oh well it's still good.
