I REALLY need to clean my glasses

They are soar, I’m stingy with the glasses cleaner like I am with my washer fluid.

My first day in my new department is going well for the most part. The buyer is away which is making it difficult since I can’t get a recap of how the area works and what will be coming up in the future. I guess they made a strategy change to go high low recently but financially it doesn’t really add up, so this can be a painful year. From coming from an area that did high low before it isn’t pretty unless you get the volume to go with it, every week.

Went to a birthday party on the weekend, it was fun but antisocial me came out in a big way. I couldn’t think of stories to talk about or chit chatty stuff so I was quiet for the most part which sucks. I was even reading a Dale Carnigie book earlier, not for the party but to help my career, guess I need more help still. Trouble is I spend a lot of time working and don’t follow sports closely enough there and don’t care about politics enough to talk about it in great detail.

Sigh

I got another notch lower on my belt, hopefully it isn’t a one day fluke but some real waist loss. I can’t imagine it is loss though since I have been eating not as well as I was at the beginning of my diet.

relaxed

I took a couple of days off in the middle of the week. Unlike other times that I did this it was very relaxing and enjoyable. I’m not saying it wasn’t the other times but they felt like just a couple of days. I didn’t do anything incredible by no means, shopped for some books and went to the library, had some sushi, but it all felt nice. I was planning on getting some pictures but didn’t get to that.

I have a birthday party in Toronto coming up, should be fun, I was trying to figure out an easy way to attend it and go to a delicious poutine place downtown but it is just too far out of the way. While shopping for wines seeing the variety that was available was entertaining. There was one that claimed it went well with Mexican food, I have never seen anyone at Taco Bell with it, so I don’t know how good it really is.

Dieting is difficult, there seems to be so many unexpected opportunities that creep up that add to your calorie intake. Today was pizza day at work and they had these super delicious double chocolate chip cookies. They tasted so rich like brownies really, and I am weak when the food is in front of me like that, I think I had 4 cookies and 5 slices of pizza. I haven’t loss much more weight, I guess that goes without saying, but I am still trying. I do need to get more active, I find that the most difficult thing to do.

I love meatballs

Unfortunately I wonder how healthy they really are for me sine I over indulge in them. I very seldom eat veggies and such and have even less when meatballs are involved except for rice. Not sure how healthy rice is, I guess it is OK in moderation but I hardly do anything in moderation. I have been holding steady at my weight for a while which was annoying while I was eating better. Last couple of weeks more no no food has been getting eaten like chocolate and such but I am still holding steady. I need to recommit to lose some inches.

Oh Harper, why are you being so over the top douchey. Almost cartoony in seeing what you can get away, and all of it for just the stupidest reasons. If only he could focus on reducing beraucacy a bit, and have the gov commit on city project sooner.

meh

I have a test coming up on Wednesday, it seems like such a crap shoot as to weather I pass or not, and it doesn’t really represent what they want you to learn very much, kind of a waste.

I am still so amazed by american commercials, they are so bad, I will always be amazed by the sheer amount of cartoon spokespeople they have in commercials, I keep expecting commercials to start resembling Robocop commercials or Running Man. Actually I did confuse a real commercial for a robocop commercial when it was on a few weeks ago and a robocop commercial for a real commercial.

Got to see Running Man again yesterday, almost missed it since the info was screwed up.

I apparently let the grass go to wild, the crab grass seems to have just exploded to the point that some of the lawn is useless, scary how it can do that.

Sushi soon, yum yum yum.

Lobster Pasta stuff

Deliciousness, didn’t seem to have a enough lobster, the shell weighed lot unfortunately but even after a few hours and a chocolate milk the taste haunts my mouth and it is tasty, so yummy.

So busy this week at work, and last week, maybe I should have gone on vacation like everyone else seems to.

I wan to eat more yummy fish. 15 more days until I write my case exam, hope it goes well, really well. I hope I get the results from my practice test soon, I know there are a few points that I missed out on and could have tied back better. I won’t get the results back until some time in October.

Meh I don’t have much to say today, balh.

Slept in the car

I didn’t sleep well. Sometimes I wonder if it is worse, I can’t sleep as soon as I get into the car usually but about half way through the ride with 30 minutes of possible sleep left is when I get tired and usually nod off, only to wake up again soon after. meh

At least after a couple of days of searching I found the saran wrap car. Apprently not all of my pictures got uploaded to flickr properly, I have no idea how I am going to figure out what was missing.

I am planning on a lot of wonderland this summer, hopefully Katty + Gravol = rollercoasters. First trip will be this weekend, might as well get on it.

Class was this weekend, it seemed pretty easy and straight forward this time. Not much to prepare for the sessions, just a lot of stuff and presentations to get done during them in a short amount of tuime. For a change of pace this time around I actually had some food there beyond just the cookies and pop. They had some raw salmon for breakfast on both days and some sort of wrap with briew on the second day for lunch. I thought it was a chicken wrap but it wasn’t. Not the most filling thing in the world but it was good, saved me a trip to McDonald’s I was planning on getting a small chicken mcNugget thing. I figure it would be cheap and not too unhealthy.

Time for sleep now.

The third guy was hard at punch out

My feeble little thumbs couldn’t keep pace with his fury and the punches he was throwing out. When he backed up it was like he was throwing some super serious shit down on me. I obviously didn’t remember what his name was so I just called him the third guy.

I have another class session this weekend, I am hoping it will go well and that I stay awake. If I am a bit more open mouthed and louder with my speaking I should get by OK apprently. From these classes it doesn’t seem as useful as the prep for the classes themselves were.

I am pretty tired at the moment, I should have an orange. I have been in a pretty not good mood lately. Not not good as angry or unhappy, I mean not good as in I feel like shopping and spending money isn’t the greatest idea right now.

Right now I want
Wonderland Season Passes
Expension to the Settlers of Catan Card Game
Killer Bunnies Card Game
Killer Bunnies Board Game Expansion set
a fold up table for playing the game in here. It would probably be better then playing on the floor.

I am mostly debating about Wonderland with if I would go enough to make it worth getting a season pass. The cons are that I can get a 1 time pass for 33$ and a 2 time pass for $48 or so. It is a fair distance away so I may not be arsed to do it. Parking and eating costs. Takes away time from doing other stuff potentially like paintball and playing D&D and the board games mentioned above.
The pros is I have the vacation time and I am not planning on going away really and this year would be better then next year potentially since the school thing will involve more group work and coordinating with them. The assignments right now during the summer for the most part can be completed in 4 hours.

I have spent a bit of money lately on a new lens that is on back order, it might come in handy for the upcoming wedding celebration and other low light situation. I have been contemplating getting a new flash taht can actually clear the end of my lens. Usually there is a shadow at teh bottom of some of my pics b/c the flash isn’t high enough.

I am still dissappointed in myself for my lunches. I haven’t been able to break the bad and costly habit of eating out for lunch. A few times I have brought apples and ate them instead but most of the time I forget to do that as well. I am usually to tired and get up just in tiime so I don’t get a chance to eat breakfast. Chances are the food in the morning might jump start me and get me hungrier by the time lunch time comes around.

Oh yeah I guess I’ll be getting Mario Galaxy 2 in a couple of weeks, yay. I still haven’t beaten the first one yet, or Twilight Princess for that matter.

I just read the whole entry just now, I am not sure what happened in the first sentence, I guess I got a balloon and a pencil in a loot bag. I have no idea what the computer comment even means. Maybe I didn’t miss computers but missed people from compton from coming to get me, I dunno.

I still don’t know portuguese

So all this time I never realized that Jail and Chair are 2 very similarly sounding words. For years my dad would say stuff like if I was speeding they are going to catch me and put me in jail. I thought he was saying they were going to catch me and put me in the chair, I assumed the electric chair. I was a pretty good kid overall, I watched for cars when riding my bike when I was 7 so I wouldn’t go to the electric chair.

I think kids need more threats like this, I would say stuff like you have to wash my car or you will end up in the poisonous snake pit.

So it is my Dad’s birthday today and he is pretty old, 70. Never really clicked in before how old he really is he doesn’t look as frail as normal old people do. I guess it is a good thing he quit smoking.

Kitty is the best and bravest kitty in he world. And cheap computers today come with a chip made in 2008, bah

At least this time, he decided to close his eyes a little, it makes him look like he is from an anime, and looks more then a little creepy and chopped. The pigs were outside and enjoyed the sun. Katty mentioned that Audrey shed a lot but I didn’t realize how much until I was dumping her litter in the compost heap. There were white hairs all over it, in some places it looked more like an old spiderweb then hair.

I was going to get pictures of some bridges but unfortunately I left the batteries behind, oh well there is always a next time.

Fishie was had and it was yummy, much better then the initial sushi plan that will be implemented later, probably for next Friday when I have that day off.
