Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Casper wanted to make a snowman. Um, it's only about half an inch of snow.

A very small snowman, perhaps?

It's SNOOOOOOOOOWING!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Teeny tiny snowman!

Hope Lee feels better.

Special for bon bon: I'm now going to be late for work because Roger Clark is walking on the model NYC at the Queens Museum. Hilarious!

Just think, Allyson--the next time we get a massive flood of newbies, they might very well be your fans.

Between this and DRIVE, we may have a very busy mid-to-late 2007 here at b.org. Seriously good news Allyson. I keep checking Amazon to see when they put it in for pre-order. I'm already trying to decide who it might make a good gift for (as I did with LOST IN THE GROOVES).

Oy. At the office until 7 last night, and gotta run back out the door now. There's no way this report is going to be ready to go next Friday. Argh.

I'm doing my best, but when some of the writers apparently learned to do their analysis by watching Scoobie-Doo, well...

Congratulations on the flat, Kevin!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Oh! I wasn't going to admit this yet. I wanted to wait until I had some more evidence. But I've been doing the smaller plate thing, and it is totally working for me! I gave myself no rules, no restrictions, no calorie counting. I just use a smaller plate.

I've been doing this too and it really does work. My new thing is trying to draw my eating time out more. I come from a family of food bolters, as does Tom, so I figure it can't hurt to try to retrain myself to eat slower. My nutritionist suggested using a timer and then incrementally increasing the number of minutes.

The smaller plate thing defintely works well, and is better for long-term change. Plus, when I eat out, I'll always take something with me (or at the very least, not finish my plate; of course, these days I usually can't). It works much better in conjunction with some kind of exercise, I've found (even walking, as long as you do plenty of it on a regular basis).

However, I've now reached the conclusion that I'm going to have to seriously curtail my beer consumption, because it's definitely interfering with the whole weight loss process. *cries and cries and cries*

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm wrestling with that too- Right now my solution is to do my best to avoid beer during the week and indulge in moderation during the weekend. But that doesn't always work out.
