I'm on the first diet I've ever been on. After quasi-scientific research, taking into account my own laziness, Jen and I are doing Weight Watchers. We aren't doing the cult-sounding WW meetings, just following the book and counting our points. It's ok, but if you try it don't do what I did. At my weight I was alloted 33 points per day, which really is a decent amount. You can't eat crap, but you don't go hungry. Rather than eating anywhere near my 33 points, I ate somewhere in the range of 20-25. I was no hungrier eating this amount (since many things like fresh veggies are 0 points), but after a week or so of imbibing low amounts of calories I crashed like a two engine airplane with a moose in the cargo compartment. The morning I did so I couldn't even think clearly enough to get myself ready for work, nevermind getting to a job that requires that I think all day. Lack of sleep and lack of calories is a bad combination; I'm glad I didn't attempt to drive in that day. Things are better now...during that day I went over my points (Stagg Classic Chili is 10.5 points per can, by the way), and that improved dramatically. I'm now eating closer to my 33 points, though that's not easy. I can't eat a pizza (7-10 points per slice), and I've switched to aspartame drinks, but I'm starting to feel a little better.

Sorry for the delay! Saturday we had a nice time at Buntzen Lake in Ioco, north of Coquitlam. We picked up a cheap inflatable boat and relaxed up there in the sun. Since we couldn't find any paddles for the thing it meant we just relaxed on it close to shore. Nice anyway, but I think I'll try to find some paddles :) Maybe go fishing.
Been playing Nethack a lot recently. Die early, die often! I'm presently using the eXplore mode to allow myself some time to go deeper into the dungeons. It's interesting how much my other game favourite, Diablo II, is similar to Nethack...evokes nearly the same responses from me when I get killed.

LINKS and STUFF
Userfriendly.org - It's a geek comic strip. Really it's the main geek comic strip that has content based more for the geek crowd than any other. Other 'geek' comic strips have humour and content that almost anyone can get. I go there more out of habit these days than anything else, I used to work for it, and am still the head moderator for their comments system. I guess that's my intro to blogging in some way.
Aspectus - This is Illiad's (of Userfriendly fame) other project, which is like Slashdot in some ways and like a personal blog in some ways, but cooler than either. Needs more content, and more visitors, but that'll come.
RED MEAT - Oh my. I imagine there is a FBI file on the artist. I never, ever want to meet him. But I will glory in his comic strip. Brilliance and intelligence wrapped up in the tattooed skin of a circus freak and tied with a bow made of blown O-rings.
Imparte.com - Rich's site. Not going to talk about it until he says I can. But go visit anyway.
