9:20 pm - The Weight is Over
|
Gyah, finally!
As I've mentioned, I've been steadily excercising four days a week, on the treadmill, for the past two years. I've got an average of losing about a pound a month. Slow, but steady, right? I can live with that.
My weight finally stopped dropping a few months back, and kinda settled at 177. It sometimes dipped to my lowest of 176, but for the most part, it bounced around 177. Man, was it frustrating to get a readout of 176.0, and just wish it would hiccup and drop a tenth of a pound! But actually, I was ok with that too. I still want/wanted to lose more, but if I stabilised there, that was fine by me.
Finally, for whatever reason (Some better sleep, a few less munchies, heck maybe even quitting my morning coffee recently, or who knows? Maybe drinking more soda with natural sugars than high fructose corn syrup? I could come up with reasons til the cows come home.) today the scale finally decided to play nice, and give me a 175. This finally puts me at 30 pounds lighter than when I started, and IMO, that's pretty huge.
After my heart scare a number of years ago (It feels like forever, it does), it took me a few years to move my fat ass onto the treadmill regularly, but once I got into it, I kept at it, and I've only taken one week off in all that time. I was feeling pretty sick that week, so I think I'm excused.
And now, the road to 174 begins! I don't really have any goal weight in mind, I just plan to keep at it. I think having less real goals to try and fight for has helped me. I'm not getting on that scale, and not seeing any progress, I just have the goal of "excercise, lose weight, feel better."
I'm done boring you, back to IRC with me. ;)

Just a silly random pic I snapped this morning.
Made all the more amusing because I didn't know Casper was doing that until I brought the pic up on the computer. =)

10:10 pm - Thunderbolts Are Go!
|
Since I know there's a FEW TBolts fans on ye olde friendslist, this was worth sharing from the latest Cup o' Joe.
Kiel Phegley: Lastly, Steven Ghost and MikeFitz both wanted to know about what Baron Zemo was up to in regards to Norman, with Mike asking, "Will we see Baron Zemo and any of the original Thunderbolts soon? I'd love to see Songbird go to them and have the new T-bolts go against the original T-bolts? I'd love to see Zemo vs. Osborn. Might we see Citizen V and V Battalion?"
Joe Quesada: It's a great question, Steven and Mike, and I guess you can say you heard it here first. Old school T-Bolts fans rejoice! Songbird is actually going to begin to assemble the original TBolts in issue #134. Her mission basically is to destroy Norman Osborn and his crazy pack of killers who have taken the good name of the original T-bolts. And yes, Zemo has been discussed internally, so stay tuned. We haven't decided just yet... or maybe we have and I’m just not going to tell you. [laughs]

10:16 am - The Cylons Were Created by Mom
|
Been watching BSG daily with parents, more or less, and last night we watched the episode where Lucy Lawless came along as D'Anna Biers and making a documentary about Galactica.
I'd been kinda waiting for it, because of the great ending, and their reaction was everything I was waiting for. Ahhh. =D

9:10 am - Photoblog: Daylight Invader

So, I'm walking by the front door, and see some dark blob where there shouldn't be a dark blob. I realised something was staring at me, and once my brain processed what I was looking at, I quickly zoomed to the other room, grabbed my camera, and got...
Oops, forgot to fix my camera settings. ;)
Then I got this one, but he was on the move by the time I'd changed my settings.
He jumped down and came RIGHT up to the glass door and stared in at me. It was kinda freaky. I was just about to snap a photo of that, when the dog came yapping up and scared it off. Sigh.=)

Since we were talking about dumbasses and fireworks the other day...
FIREWORK NUTSHOT FAIL - Watch more Funny Videos
Here's a dumbass and a firework.
My only question is...what was he TRYING to do??
I fear he may actually have succeeded in his...whatever.
Upside, he probably won't be a danger to procreate.

9:23 pm - Pop Goes the Weasel
|
So, the news tonight called Michael Jackson the king of pop, as it is wont to do on occasion.
My parents took great offense at this, and how dare anyone call someone NOT Elvis the king!
I pointed out that he's been called that for 20 years or so, and they both say they've *never* heard him called that before.
These people watch the news every day, and read the newspaper every day. Heck, my mother occasionally buys tabloids. How the heck could you possibly miss it?? ;)

6:20 am - Photoblog: Empty Chairs
|
I'd wanted to photograph SOMEthing, since it's been forever. If I take one more picture of cats, I'm gonna scream. Anyways, these chairs all alone in the middle of the lawn, under a tree, just kept poking at my brain to photograph. Unfortunately, I kept thinking of it at 2 AM. So, finally...
Something about this photo I really like. I can't really put a finger on it.

Just finished watching Zombie Honeymoon, and I think it has one of my new favourite quotes.
"I'm just trying to kill as few people as possible before we get on the plane tomorrow!"

12:28 am - This is the End
|
Those of you from the IRC side of things, who hung out in #SubCafe, will probably remember that I and the channel's bot, maintain a stats page with a running tally of what happens each week.
Each week for like the past two years, I've been watching the stats, and dreading this day. I said if a certain event ever occurred, I'd make this post, no matter how hard it might be, and it is very hard to type these following words:
I'm going to shut down #SubCafe.
The stats have just been sad for ages now. I've been waiting to see them drop below 3000 for a chunk of time. A while ago, that was for two months, but recently it was squished into three month chunks. The original statement came to pass some time ago, but still I waited. And as of tonight, the count finally fell below, WELL below, 3000 lines of text for three months. They currently are at 800 lines of text for an ENTIRE MONTH. That's sad, and depressing. It makes zero sense for me to keep this channel open for the small handful of people that still come in. The likelihood of newbies coming in who have interest in the Subreality subgenre of fanfic is so minute I doubt it will ever happen, so all that will happen is a slow, languid death. Heck, you could say that's what it already is. This is just putting the channel out of its misery.
#Comicbooks will remain open, as it has had a fair amount of traffic lately. Not great, but still some regulars, and actual conversation on a regular basis. I figure the channel about an active topic such as comics will be easier to keep going into the future than #SubCafe ever will be, so that one wins out. #SubCafe will remain open, and I'll direct people from there over to #ComicBooks looking for me, familiar faces, or folks interested in similar topics. There really is very little reason for both channels to remain.
I've had the channel for almost nine and a half years now, and this decision is not one I take lightly. This is probably one of the second most difficult posts I've had to make to LJ. There's a lot of memories there, but...the time has come to move on. Or stay where I am, just a little off to the side. ;)
I feel like I have so much more I want to say, but the words just aren't finding their way to my fingers.
The channel will linger for the forseeable future, to direct others elsewhere for awhile, so everyone knows what's up, but someday the channel will unregister and be gone.
I hope to see some of you there before that happens, and if not there, then in #Comicbooks. I wouldn't know fully half of you people, or more, if not for #SubCafe. But, like I said...
It's been a great 12 years over all. *raises his coffee*
Now if you'll excuse me, I have something in my eye...

9:18 am - Not Gonna be Reality
|
Well, not surprising, but Virtuality tanked pretty hard, so the chances of it going to series are pretty much slim to none.
But hey, here's a fun interview for anyone interested.
I didn't realise they were doing a lot of improv with it, that's fun.
