1. What was the last song you heard? Music in Ratchet & Clank II 2. What were the last two movies you saw? Pirates of the Caribbean, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. We've made the decision to never go to a movie theater again, with the possible exception of the Alamo Drafthouse. We had decided that before, with the exception of the biggies (Star Wars, LOTR, Harry Potter) but we've decided that even seeing those on a big screen aren't worth the price and hassle. Our TV is big enough, and eventually we'll follow in 's footsteps. 3. What…

My journal says I'm 60% masculine. What does your LJ writing style say about your gender?UsernameCommunity LJ Gender Tool by That's amusing. Even now that I post about weight-loss, my journal is more masculine than it was last time I did this. Too funny. Oh, by the way: Maintained this week. No gain, no loss. I'm actually glad about that. Two days last week I did not eat for 24 hours; I didn't write down what I ate for over half the week, and I don't think I got enough water in. On the plus side, I think I did…

My poor dog. He gets upset when I swear. I guess because I get… loud. Poor thing. Sigh. I can't cuss in front of the children pets. Oh – why am I swearing? upgraded my 'nix box (a good thing) and my text editor of choice (currently Kate) for some idiotic reason change the key that toggles word wrap from F12 to F10. Why?!? Why, I ask you. It makes no sense!!!

No. I'm not interested. I don't care about your vacuum cleaner, your magazines, your political candidate, or even your Girl Scout cookies, though those thin mints do tempt me. Do not ring my doorbell, or knock on my door unless I know you and am expecting you. Go away. Thank you.

Canter and Siegel – March 5th, 1994

Note: This is not directed at anyone in particular; it is simply my observation of the whole “serial adding” controversy. Serial adders are such a non-issue. First off, anything you post on the internet ™ is pretty much public. You post, you're asking for a response of some kind. Grow a thick skin, for cryin' out loud. Secondly, you have the option of locking any posts you want to. Get a clue – if you lock a post, some one who has added you to their “friends list” who you have not added back to yours cannot read your freakin'…

Last week: 257.2 lbs This week: 255.4 lbs Loss this week: 1.8 lbs Total loss: 36.4 lbs Loss rate: 1.24 lbs/week Yay! Apparently I did much better this week. Let's see if I can continue, hmm? Well, everyone needs a brief bout with self-pity every now and then. Nothing a good kick in the pants won't cure. Speaking of pants, mine are getting looser. That word just looks wrong now because of so many people who freakin' spell “lose” as “loose” – glah! I told my WW leader today that I “finally” get another gold star (WW hands out gold…

According to Dragonmount, Jordan's progressing well on Book 11: “Book Eleven is coming along nicely, though I still don't have a title for it. That usually comes late in the writing. I am still hoping to finish in two more books, counting this one. In any event, there will be a few things resolved in the eleventh book.” Thank god. An end in sight….
