The murders in San Francisco last year were NIMBY.
Almonds are delicious. No need for seasoning, smoking, or whatever. Just straight up almonds. Word.
My video card is about to be two generations behind the bleeding edge. Check out the new GeForce 9800GX2.
Since I got back from my vacation, I have been in a sort of unmotivated funk. Granted, I have been back for less than a week. But still, it was a little discouraging. I haven’t gotten myself to exercise or eat right. I gained about 6 pounds in a week and a half in Maryland!
Well, I am proud to announce that today I finally feel motivated. Motivated to eat right, exercise, save money, and work hard at work. Go me!
Imagine this scenario:
You are doing some laundry in the shared laundry room in your apartment building. You put your load in the wash, come down right when it is done, and put it in the dryer. You come back down, again, right on time, only to find the laundry room door locked. You don’t have a key to this room, and you never have. What would YOU do?
1) Write a note on the door asking someone to open it.
2) Break the door.
Well, I did #1. I came back down every hour or so to see if someone had opened the door. When I came down at 11pm, I found a broken door.
Sure, a locked laundry room door sucks, but why the hell would you break it? I mean, come on. Wait until it is open, and then maybe duct tape the latch hole. I would be really interested to know which one of my neighbors broke the door.
That’s how I put it on my calendar anyway.
Anyone that happens to be in San Francisco tonight and wants to have a good time, head down to Temple (Howard and 2nd) to catch Dieselboy tearing it up. $10.
And just like that…no more meat from land animals. This is going to be hard. I <3 chicken.
After a week of dieting again, I am right on schedule for my weight loss. I started last week at 172.5 and I am at 170.5 now. But when you’re dealing with a half pound here and a half pound there, you can easily get off track with just one screw-up. That’s why I am going to institute a new system of punishments for myself should I get off track for even one day. Basically, for each day that I am above my target weight, I am going to cut one of the following out of my diet for the remainder of the diet:
– dairy
– meat from land animals (of course the only ones I am eating anyway are chicken and turkey)
– egg-based products (like mayonnaise, which has been in several tuna sandwiches that I’ve had)
– meat from sea creatures
That will give me extra incentive to be good. If I am essentially a vegan by the end of the diet, it’ll be weird!
So the idea here is, I’d better stay ahead of my goal because if I don’t there is a good chance that I’ll be behind one day. And just like that – no more chicken and turkey! That really would limit my Subway options.
