Reader Alert
So here's the deal -- this (free) blog has been malfunctioning for about 9 months now and slowly crippling itself. The archives page doesn't update, the error message bar is blank (so I have no idea what problem(s) are coming about) and now the main template won't update (which controls all that good stuff on the left). Blogger will not help free account people. So all I can do here is post the main messages, and then only half the time. So, if this space goes blank, you'll know why. Maybe upgrading to Pro will resurrect the broken pieces -- we'll see what they say. Thursday, March 06, 2003
How It Is
For the last seven months I'd decided that I would write down everything I'd eaten in a given day, and try to meet (or come close) to FDA recommended daily allowances for fat and caloric intake. I have three notepads full of these notes, starting from August 6. Over this time, I've found it very easy to come in under the 80g rda, and I usually would average about 2800 cal (which is 300 over rda, but a good compromise). I wold get one day off from this schedule a week. Over this same period I made a regular habit of walking for at least 20 minutes a day (as prescribed by my doctor) or, in winter, riding a stationary bike, combined with minor lifting. In that time I have seen no change in body size, weight, fit of clothes, or overall health. My doctor's advice is to Keep Trying Harder. Thanks Boxer. Thinking about this last night, I suppose that I should just accept that how I look and feel now is how it's going to be, rather than torture myself more and more each day just to find that there's no movement towards an overall dream. I mean, you should live you life happily, no? Even if it means you may not live as long as the average, or you can't just run down to the Gap and buy something you can wear, or that you might embarrass your future children when seen in public, or that you're disgusted when you look at yourself in the mirror. So I think I'll just put the notepads aside for a while. Tuesday, March 04, 2003
Regular readers of this page (*laugh*) may have noticed that there was no Assclown of the Month last month, due to certain Aussie actors and bicycling-haters keeping a low profile. Luckily it only took a few days for March's top candidate to surface.

The Big TV
So the old TV I'd had through all of college was on its last legs, and it truly was time for a new one. I decided to put my new friends Circuit City to the test (since Best Buy is such a cl*sterfuck), so I ordered the TV online through Amazon and then I'd pick it up from my local CC on the way home. Here's what happened: So I got the TV home. It's 27 inches, but to us, it's HUGE. (The speakers on the side add to the illusion.) I went to hook up the S-Video to find I had the wrong adapter, and then check my reciepts to see the pricing error. So the next morning I went back to CC ready to bitch people out, but at this point: And when I got it home and connected it and ran Gran Turismo 3, there was much rejoicing! |
