We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Somehow, I'm not seeing the frozen broccoli helping here.

I want to say something about broccoli, but some residual shreds of decency just aren't letting me quite go all the way there.

OK, I have seriously never spewed anything on my monitor, but I almost just did! I did practically choke on my tea and had a coughing fit!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hm. I think, in all likelihood, that a male manicurist will still only solve one problem.

My old place had a male manicurist who was in high demand for chair massages. More than one woman in my office refered to Jay as "my boyfriend."

Luckily for you, I have no such boundaries, apparently.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm so sad that Wimbledon is over! I've been watching Sportscenter for the first time in years, just to hear the rhapsodising. I miss it terribly.

Now I shall go read about it.

Compassionately intolerant

It turns out I need a tiny bit of male admiration to get me really motivated to mind my weight.

Apparently, I don't need the whole man...just the appreciation.

The 70's feminist in me is trying hard to be offended but the part of me that spent 40 minutes on the spinner today with a bpm between 170-180 for 20 of those minutes says, 'eh.'

Coding and Sleeping

So far I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to lose weight since May. I blame eating too much. I feel kinda down about it which, ironically, makes me want to eat more. Oh well, gotta keep trying. With my build, my Doctor would like to see me at 225lbs, which isn't really a huge amount of weight to lose. I'd like to get to about 205lbs which is where I was a few years ago and is realistically about as low as I can get.

205 is where I'm at here: [link]

OTOH, I have to wear my belt tighter now (I'm on the last hole). So I may be achieving greater density if not less weight. I'm just telling myself that eating less is probably about the same for me as for people who are trying to quit smoking. It's hard, but it can be done. It's frustrating to always want to eat.
