Intro Post
So, I've joined Weight Watchers. This is probably a very good thing for me in the long run. I was down just over 5 pounds in a couple of weeks. We'll see if that continues or not.

Star Trek
So, nolemming convinced me to go and see Star Trek with him. If you haven't seen it, I recommend taking ear plugs along with you. David didn't have problems, but I did. Luckily, I carry at least one set of ear plugs with me at all times.
