Someone yet again asked me if I was that guy from Mythbusters.
Seriously.
Is it THAT similar?

[Shill] – The March of the Kitefliers
You know, I haven’t written about this show yet mainly because I haven’t really been able to get my head around what I wanted to say.
As I always find myself doing in such situations, I shall just let myself do this in a kind of stream-of-conscience manner. I will, however, do so behind a cut that really has all the important information in it.
Grump
So I just spent the last 4 hours making the Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner I make exactly once a year.
I fucked it up.
I bought a beef brisket – not a corned beef brisket. Significant difference in taste.
It’s not unedible, but it’s not corned beef. It’s just boiled beef. Bland, boring, and not at all what I spent the last 4 hours cooking for.
I’m putting it in the fridge and ordering chinese.
…
Believe it or not, this has got me in a serious funk.
Go figure.
Drive by
It’s a rainy, claustophobic feeling day at the office. Things are too quiet, but music might be too loud. I feel out of my head and cannot wait for the weekend to begin.
I’m seriously fighting the urge to walk around the office as one of my characters from a Jobsite play. Norman is currently pushing the edge of my persona, and I just caught myself making coffee as him.
Oh boy.
Maybe I should call up The Creature instead. I could just sit around and glower at people.
Yep. That bored.

I won’t lie. I’m very dissapointed in this number. I worked very hard this last week, making sure to get all my water in and everything. Exercised in some way every day, and on many days I did so twice.
Yeah, yeah. Muscle weighs more than fat. I know.
Still loathe those numbers.
The Weird Turn Pro
Yep. It’s official. The following conversation is what happens when Generation X’ers enter the corporate world.
Rafe: we can’t stop here. this is decaf country.
Michael: as your attorney I reccomend you get some hazelnut vanilla
Rafe: fuck that shit. the only nuts in my coffee are almonds.
[Diet] Weight Loss Summary
| Your current weight : | 281.6 lb |
| Weight change since your last recorded weight | | +2.6 lb |
| Total weight change to date | | -137.6 lb |
I haven’t been really shocked about a weight gain in a long time, but this one took me off guard. Especially the fact that it’s so big. I was really good last week. I journaled everything that went into my mouth, I got in my exercise, took my multivitamins, drank my water. You name it. Ok, two things come to mind. I’ve upped the length of my workouts recently, and I walked four miles with my sister on Tuesday night.
So yes, this could be water retention and muscle gain…but damn it.
I think I need to switch my goals. The 52 pounds in 52 weeks goal is, I believe, too long term for me…and now that I’m having a hard time even staying close to that goal I’m getting discouraged again. So maybe I’ll set mini-goals for every week, focused around things OTHER than actual weight loss.
I need to get a damn measuring tape. Desperately. I know I’m smaller because my clothes are fitting better, and if I had some numbers to back that up it would be easier to deal with the gain.
So yeah. Not so happy on the diet front today.
Oh, and for the record? Healthy sounding wraps can still have a lot of points.
Fortunately I’ve hardly eaten anything today!
Morning Bile
If there is a hell I hope this fucker is burning in it.
I can understand revenge.
I can understand wanting to strike back at people who you feel wronged you.
I cannot, however, understand dragging an eight year old child into it. Not just any eight year old child, but your own god damn offspring.
Gah. I need to stop reading the news.
And you people wonder why I spend so much time playing World of Warcraft?
Protected: Good lord I'm bored
What is love?
It’s the little things.
I woke up late for work this morning, and while I was rushing around to get ready for work K. got out of bed (earlier than she needed to) and put my lunch together so it was one less thing I had to deal with.
Yes, it’s a very small thing – but it’s those small touches that show someone really cares.
Amidst a bunch of other shit that’s happened today, that’s one thing that has kept me smiling.
