Thanks everybody!
Sunday, November 18th, 2007I really appreciate the nice comments I’ve received from everyone. That’s very nice of you. Things have moved on, though I still use plurals for our now, singular cat. Ah well. It’s going to be “Cats” again soon, I’d imagine. Trouble seems awfully bored nowadays but we’ve been picking up the slack. Our computer areas both have nice little extra places for him to sit in if he’s wanting to look at something, so that’s good.
What better to do when you’re depressed? Spend money! Ah why not. We bought a fancypants rice cooker and V a top of the line machine.
I’m not using that term lightly. She has a silly machine now. It ended up being 700 something dollars but it’s quite nice, and it actually beats mine! Her graphics card is slower, but her CPU is so much faster that it makes up for the difference. AMD X2 6000+ to replace her AMD 64 3200+ her previous computer was.
The old one is now bound to the television set, so no more freaky laptop entertainment machine. That’s a nice thing. That was going to overheat and explode.
V’s car is now able to stop again! Literally, within two days, her brakes went from nominal to gouging a hole into her rotor. It was quite incredible, really. Dug right in, made a sound like an airplane crashing. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. 400 something? Bastards. In any case we put it on credit as that’s the easiest damn way to just dump points into our credit score.
Bah.
I shouldn’t write stuff in here when I’m grouchy. I just end up typing crap.
Ah lets type more crap.
My weight loss diet is paying off. I’ve lost a substantial amount of weight and am looking much better. I’m still not a skinny guy or anything, but I now give off the appearance of being a healthy person. That’s what I was after, anyway. I want to give myself around 10 lbs of slack, so another 20 should do it. All that rubbish dieting nonsense is amazing to me. “Carbs” and “Fats” and other things people want you to “Stay away from” when you’re on “a diet.”
Tripe. Here’s how you lose weight and eat whatever you want. Ready?
Look at the label. It says “Calories” each one of those is 1000 calories of energy. If you want to lose weight, try to determine how much energy you actually use. Excercise and stuff is useful, sure, but it takes a lot more energy to keep your nervous system working. Count those numbers on everything you eat, and if it doesn’t have a number, don’t eat that. You don’t want it anyway.
Don’t go over around 1200 calories in a day, and you’ll slowly lose weight! There’s no magic, and you can eat pizza or whatever the hell you want to eat. That’s all there is to it. This reduces the desire to “Cheat on your diet” and all that crap. No. Eat less than you need to keep yourself online. Your body will make up the difference and start eating itself to ensure you can continue to eat and reproduce. Make sure you get lots of Potassium and Protein, as those are critical to keep you from eating important things like your muscles, and keeping your head un-muddled. Un-muddled is a little tough, as I’ve felt pretty damn stupid lately. Memory problems, mostly. Vision a bit, but that’s because I haven’t been sleeping.
Speaking of which. I’m going in to the office early tonight, so that way the united kingdom doesn’t turn itself inside out. Australia’s got it made with me running the game, so no worries there. They’re just -smarter-.
Additionally, they -read the manual-
