Shoulder still hurts. It has been 2 months. Its not getting any better so why bother to take it easy. One way or another it will heal. Nonetheless I had to get back to my 315 bench presses. The chest needs to feel the heavy weight of that magnitude on a regular basis. Legs today went fine as usual. Actually kept my breath right after.

Finished God of War 2 on the weekend. How does it compare? This time around you have more weapons and more variety but the game feels a bit overdone. The first had an element of subtlety, as if you travelled through a world which held its own element. This time the game world seemed to anticipate your arrival which is some ways removed the charm from the game. As well it seemed getting through each fight or level required finding each unique strategy. In the first game you could take each fight according to your preference. This time around you seemed forced to learn the one path. The game could have provided more freedom to the player. Nonetheless its still a classic - you get to carry over your weapons and magic to a new game and finally a challenge of titans which you could save at any point you wanted.
