I actually wasn't thinking about doing a Lent thing, but this weekend my jeans didn't fit, so I was thinking about going back to the Atkins, and then I realized what tomorrow is! So we'll see. I may or may not do it hard-core. But I lost the most weight in the later stages anyway, so half-assed lower-carb may be the way for me to go!

Edit: It's probably not shocking that more salads and fewer Doritos would be an effective weight loss plan.

So I'm saving the eggs and bacon for Wednesday.

If I only ate what made me happy, I'd eat nothing but candy and cheese.

I hate vegetables, but I know I have to eat them. But I hate it. Especially the green ones. Blergh.

Given that today is Fat Tuesday, go get yourselves some Paczki! Nom nom nom.

The big ticker-tape parade goes right past my office this morning.

I used to be able to see the route from my old office, but nsm today. And the firm hasn't made any arrangements to open up conference rooms where you can see it, which is annoying.

Also, I had to explain to someone yesterday what ticker tape was. She had never heard the term until yesterday! Boggle.

She had never heard the term until yesterday!

Um, I've heard of it. Still have no idea what it is.

I like candy and chips, but it's short-term happiness. Very quickly, I become unhappy about it (because I always eat just that little bit too much). You know what makes my body happy? Tortillas and beans. With salty, oily tortillas and fried eggs and salt all over everything... mmmm. Happy tummy.

Another example at how fucked polls are....

For CA, Reuters has Obama over Clinton, 49% to 36%

Survey USA has Clinton over Obama, 52% to 42%.

Yeah, I've found this to be true myself. Then I tend to crave more healthy type foods to balance it out.

From the old stock market "ticker tape" machines....
