Collected Thoughts

I am so very tired. Last night every time I started to drift off "Sinclair is EVIL!1!1!!" or "Stop Sinclair!!" would pop into my head.

Finaly I was able to shut down the sinclair stuff and fall asleep but I think it was close to 3 am by that point. I never did get everything finished in the house like I wanted.

Plus I've gone off my diet and gained the weight back. Tomorrow I start back. I would have this morning but I barely made it out of bed.

Dad's coming home today, I'll miss having the house to myself, plus I made some changes.

My computer still acts up sometimes, it's very overburdened and slow. I'm starting to really think about getting a new one but I have no idea what to look for. I haven't kept up with what's going on with computers because I couldn't afford one. Mine is about 5 yrs old and needs to be put to pasture.

Basically I'm a zombie today. I totally expect to start eating the spicy brains of my co workers before the day is out.

I haven't been online a lot. Well I have at work, just sneaking in and reading things, but after work has been busy with other stuff...reading, tv, running around. My computer is in the back of the house and everything else is in the front so it's hard to multitask. We came through Jeanne okay, Mom lost power when a tree fell down but that was it. There was more flooding in the local area and lots of trees down. Everything is recovered now, nothing like what's going on in central and south florida. So hopefully the lj-ers in that area are okay.



Watched Lost last night and really liked it. I'm going to see if Lj cuts will work for me. Although I missed some because I kept flipping over to Smallville. It's not supposed to suck me in again. I had a clean break with Smallville. I wish I hadn't just stopped watching Rescue Me and started taping it but there was some kind of logic behind that, but insane troll logic.

I'm reading Band of Brothers, which I picked up cheap on ebay. It's really cool to read what was actual in the series and what was made up or assigned to a different person. I got D Day at the same time so I'm going to read that next.

Yesterday I went over to _ej_'s house right after work so I didn't pick up my comics. I have therapy after work so I probably won't get them until tomorrow. But new Outsiders!! YAY!! I want to see if there's more of Indigo/Shift.

My weightloss is kind of stalled, I've been cheating so I'm still just at 7 lbs lost. I need to really buckle down and maybe do an extra week of Phase 1.

Everyone is away from their desks right now so I'm totally goofing off, I may jump on AIM express and see if anyone is around.

I've lost 6 1/2 lbs as off Saturday. I can feel a difference in the way my pants and skirts fit, which is great.

There's an article about a charter plane company in Yellowknife that I wanted to type up for the DS people, but with the problems with using lj cut I may wait.

My pay check is now direct deposited. Now I just have to pay my remaining monthly bills.

As of yesterday I've lost 6 1/2 lbs. But I totally went off the diet yesterday between the football game and seeing Sky Captain (I just had to get a small popcorn). The football was really good, I went in with very low expectations. I assumed we'd lose and hoped it would only be by a field goal. But the starting quarterback hurt his ankle and they put in the back up, Sexton, and he did a bang up job. He had a little trouble getting into the groove of things at first, but then everything came together. It was so exciting to see forward momentum and seeing 5 plays that were an actual drive down the field instead of five plays that barely moved 20 yards and ended with punting. The offense and special teams still need improvement, they always need improvement. What they really need is a new coach, one that will take chances, instead we have the coach's son. Defense was excellent, the one big mistake they made had the coach yelling at them through 2 plays. I forget what happened but it was one of those extremely stupid mistakes that seniors shouldn't be making.

All in all a great game, I hope Bowden starts Sexton in the next game but I have a feeling he's going to try and keep Rix in there, but Rix is his starting quarterback.

Also went and saw Sky Captain last night and I really liked it. Except somehow I always end up sitting next to a fidgeter at the movies. I realy liked Sky Captain, if I can get cuts to work there will be more.

Is anyone having trouble getting lj-cut's to work? They aren't working for me and I've tried to do it manually and using Rich Text and nothing shows up.

I promised myself I wouldn't be all "My diet loves carrots!" (well, actually it hates them....but anyway)/

However I have struggled mightly these past three days. Between waking up late and not taking my snacks with me and buying/fixing things that I couldn't stand I still managed to lose 3 pounds! Go me.

Monday went perfectly. Except I could barely choke down the string cheese I bought. Ugh. Hedious. And I tried to make the ricotta desert thing. Which was so gross. Yesterday I did pretty good, except I didn't eat breakfast and forgot snacks so I ended up eating some apple slices. It was that or potato chips. Today I had breakfast, someone gave me peanuts (because I forgot my snacks) had a pretty good lunch and then had pretty yummy stir fry, which was chicken, broccoli, zucchini, and bok choy. I found Skinny Cow fudgsicles at Fresh Market and I got those. They are more calories than the "Sweet" allotment is supposed to be, but less than the ricotta desert thing (which I will not be having again). So I figure it's not bad if I don't do it every day. My god are they good. Like frozen moussue rather than a fudgcicle.

It was new comic day, which for me was Teen Titans and Astonishing X Men. I can't wait until War Games comes out in a trade.

and I watched Lost. Which I liked and will watch again. I totally missed the boat on Party of Five. I think I managed to watch a few episodes but for the most part I recoiled in horror so I never really got the Matthew Fox love. Until tonight. I really hope this doesn't get cancelled.

I got my dvds from Netflix yesterday, unfortunately the Stargate dvd was cracked and wouldn't load. I'm going to send it back with a note and ask for a replacement. If it was damaged before they sent it then I'm not sure how they didn't notice the crack.

When I realized I couldn't watch Stargate I put in Band of Brothers and watched both parts.

The dvd has all kinds of neat little extras but there are NO English subtitles! The dialouge is really hard to hear during the battle scenes with guns and mortars and tanks going off (not to mention the screams of agony in the background) and I was hoping to use the subtitles to figure out what was going on. But there aren't any.

I guess I'll just have to watch it a few times to understand what is going on.

Even though I've seen the end I'm a little worried about getting emotionally attached to characters, I'm afraid they'll die.

Evidentally some conservative groups are calling for a Proctor & Gamble boycott because they groups feel the company supports gay marriage.

Personally I'm going to go buy something by P&G just because.
