Oh hey look, I’m a moron and when I did my redesign I gave no links to my other pages. GO ME GO. Anyhow, I’ve half assed fixed that by adding pages on the side. I also added twitter on the side, cause I actually post stuff on there.

See this? This is the beginning of things that lead to awesome.

Yeah, I changed the layout back, but I updated the header. I’ll probably buy another domain name soon, under the pretext that it will make me update it more. Even though I won’t, cause I’m lazy.

Since the munchkin is now living with me, I’m working on putting together a Jawa costume for her so she can go trooping, and I’ll be putting up pics as parts arrive and it gets assembled. Robe is being custom made right now, blaster will be ordered Friday, and the bandolier is on its way. Now to replace my TK helmet with an RT-Mod, and mod my blaster, and start on my Tusken, and finish my imperial officer, and Darth Revan….*sigh*

And finally, my daughter has given me an excuse to upgrade to a DSi soon, her old original DS Fatty is dying, so I’m gonna pass on the DS Lite, and get a DSi for myself. Got a classic NES styled Gameboy Advance coming for the old school goodness since DSi has no GBA slot J

Is it normal to hate life for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? I am finding that it feels rather pointless that I even show up at my job as no one listens to what I recommend, no one cares about what we do, and everyone just complains over things we have no control over.

Seriously, what’s the point?

Is it normal when you approach 30 that you realize just how utterly ridiculous and pointless your employment is. How much no one would notice if your job or company just *poof* disappeared. It wouldn’t really effect anything at all.

Is it too much to want your job to mean something, to have some sort of impact on the world around other than promoting straight greed?

Am I asking to much?

W00t, a quick post. Last night I officially past the 10 pound mark that I’m down. Yay me!

Well, as some may know I’ve started to try and reduce my weight a bit. As a nerd, its pretty easy to understand that weight loss is just math. What I’ve found so far is that even small changes in the amount of diet and exercise you do can have results.

I’ve reduced (but not eliminated) the amount of red meat I eat, and reduced soda intake from several a day down to just a couple a week. I also use some of the diet tv dinner type things (healthy choice meals et al) as I know that I have an issue with portion control. After I meal, I’ll wait 10 or 15 minutes and if i still feel hungry maybe have some fruit or a veggie snack pack to curve any remaining hunger pangs.

Combining these dietary changes with maybe 60-90 minutes of exercise on my wii fit per week has already had me lose 8 pound in the last 25 days. Its not crazy weight loss, but what the graphs and math shows is steady sustainable weight loss, and thats whats important. None of the changes I’ve done are so drastic that I can’t live with them long term.

Also, I like it when my little wii balance board is happy with me :p

So that’s where it’s at right now, and I’ll post updates as I go I guess sometimes, if I remember. Cause I’m lazy like that.
