Consumerism
It's always fun when starting to compose a livejournal entry, to have the browser pop up and bug me if I want to insert a previously saved draft; and realize that it was a semi-complete post that I couldn't remember even starting to write and was no longer relevant. Much like normal history ( Read more... ) -
Very slow progress
I've managed to lose a fair amount of weight in the past month, although it's only a fraction of what I need to lose to attain my goal weight. I'm hoping I've managed to get habituated to it, so that I can keep it up; the holiday weekend was my big test but I'm currently happy with how it's turned out. Namely, I'm working out about 45 minutes a day ( Read more... ) -
Maybe I won't go back to this McDonalds
Sheesh. Saturdays are my usual fast food days, since I usually end up postponing eating until I'm starving; so, I happened to stop at towards the McDonalds on El Camino near Highway 92. I wanted to just get my food and re-read A Feast for Crows, since I remember loving the series but the details are beginning to escape me. So I wait at the counter ( Read more... ) -

Workday, Interrupted
Heh. I woke up at 9, was awake enough to get a few things done in the morning for work that needed to go out today, helped watch over the rollout and fix some bugs at the last minute -- then promptly ended up falling asleep for an afternoon nap. In theory, a benefit of working from home, but the infamous "they" are trying to clamp down on people ( Read more... ) -
Well, that's heartening
I bought a scale a few weeks ago, but then immediately and promptly forgot to use it regularly. However, over the past few days, I've remembered to weigh myself on two different scales, and it seems I might have dropped 10 pounds. Might. I got one intermediate result that was at odds, but ... we'll see ( Read more... ) -

I wouldn't call me lazy, but...
... I just packed away my christmas tree. (I could defend myself and say it was a mini-tree tucked away in an unused corner of a room I spend little time in, but I don't think it really helps me). -

After the last formation team I was on, I was definitely thinking I should take a few months off of dance. It sucks up an enormous amount of time; and formations are worse than normal: the video at youtube is 4:37, and it ended up taking 2 months of practice (with 5-10 hours a week of practice).
And that's ignoring the time ... this team practiced ( Read more... ) -

The FSF has a video up of Stephen Fry talking about free software. (Stephen Fry is host of QI, which briefly caught my attention; but they don't have it in the usual streaming Flash format. Instead, it's a java applet that plays an Ogg Theora stream. Apparently this is what Wikipedia uses for movies, not that I've seen many movies there ( Read more... )
