It’s kind of funny. I know I hadn’t been the best at updating the site before, but it seems that ever since I got Facebook and Twitter (especially Twitter), I’ve been doing more of my updates over there instead of on here. Maybe I should try harder to find a site theme that I can use which could integrate my Twitter feed. Ah, well… I’ll just have to make more of an effort to update in future. Whether I do or not is another matter entirely…
I’m down to 207 pounds. I decided recently that I wanted to try and make it under 200 pounds by the time I go to Vegas (which will be on the 21st), but it’s looking more and more unlikely at this point. For the most part I’ve been good about what I’ve been eating, but then I have a day like today, where I had a safe lunch (rice vermicelli with sliced pork and a Vietnamese eggroll), but ended up having a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings for dinner. I met Sean and Jinny for dinner tonight at a place called Hyde’s Cafe in Old Town Spring, and I figured it would be a long while since I went back, so I might as well try their burger. It was delicious. :-) I can see why Sean and Jinny think so highly of it. I just dread to think what the burger did to my weight…
I have to admit I had fun on Saturday. Meredith and Jonathan were hosting Lisa’s birthday party, and it was an absolute blast. What was probably the most fun part of the night was after Becky, Lara, and Dylan left… and Meredith broke out the Singstar and the Karaoke Revolution. We took turns doing duets on Singstar, and did solos on Karaoke Revolution. In retrospect, I felt bad that I didn’t think to bring my Logitech mic, as one of Meredith’s two mics was busted and with mine we could have done Karaoke Revolution duets. Probably the funniest part of the night was when Lisa and I sang Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)”. I ended up belting out the notes pretty well… though more than once I ended up cracking up because both Meredith and Lisa were laughing their asses off. We were up until about 2 AM or so singing, at which point I was nearly at a crash point and had to head home. Good times.
I’ve also been finally getting around to watching some of my Netflix movies. I went ahead and watched Equilibrium and The Incredible Hulk this weekend, and have Stardust waiting to be watched. Also, I’ve been taking advantage of my Xbox 360’s Netflix instant watching capability. It’s been great, especially considering I’ve been using it to watch older TV shows. I watched three Doctor Who serials (“The Three Doctors”, “The Curse of Fenric”, and “The Robots of Death”), and episodes of Knight Rider and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. I’ve also got other movies queued (for example, The Adventures of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn), and just need to take the time to watch them. Hopefully I can take the time to whittle down my “pile of shame” and get some movies that I’ve always meant to see watched.
Wow, this post was extremely random. Heh.
Ah, well. It’s getting a bit late and I should be heading to bed. I’ll try and keep this site more or less updated. No guarantees, though… we’ll see how it goes. :-)
