Good news

[captainhairdo]

In the past month, I have lost 13 pounds and 2.5 inches off my waist.

I got a poker book in the mail yesterday.

The sea urchin Claire got me is awesome!

I'm having a lot of fun playing Kingdom of Loathing. Maybe a little too much fun

Oooh -- which poker book?

[captainhairdo]

Harrington on Hold'em, vol 3. I got it for free, courtesy of the Pokerstars rewards program :)

Congrats on the diet success.

[captainhairdo]

Thank you. I've slipped a little during the conference and a bit since then, though. I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow, and hopefully I won't have put on any weight over the past two weeks.

Thanks!! She says hi right back. I've read your India blog, and I am totally envious of you and Phil!

You've inspired me to diet. Instead of drinking 5 pepsis per day, I'll stick to 4. ;)

Hey, if you like LOTR at all, their Middle Earth Online will be here soon. They're doing beta testing in Europe right now according to File Planet.

I've been drinking diet drinks lately (and trying not to taste the aspartame). Unfortunately there is no really good artificial sweetener, but I had a regular Coke recently, and it tasted too sweet. So that is good, I think.

I will have to check out Middle Earth Online when it's available!

I will have to check and see if it's out of beta. I would really enjoy playing it. I wonder if they'll make a linux or mac client.
