Today I weighed in at 182, which is down 10lbs from my lifetime high in December (aaaand again in mid-January, when I decided to start really TRYING to diet.)

The low-carbing is working. So of course I celebrated today by pigging out on Thai food — Tom Ka Gai soup, Masaman curry, and a bowl of sticky rice the size of my head.

I put on four pounds of FOOD in one day. Yum! But it filled me so full I didn’t eat much of anything else all day long (light breakfast, Thai lunch of doom, low-carb snack at dinner).

Oh, wait… there was that donut. The cutting board was the biggest waste of time — I decided that I was only going to have HALF a donut… at a time, it turned out. But that was right after the Thai food, and counts as part of the same pig-out.

Anyway, I’m back on the wagon now. Here’s to the next 10!

My Dire Troll Blitzer now has green-stuff on him, patching the horrible hole I made in his back while installing the pipe-and-sleeve assembly. Continue reading Blitzer, Greened →

mamaslyth pointed me at a face-manipulation script. Here’s my author-photo from the first two books nicely doctored so I look more like the monkey I feel like.

Oook ook!

(Yes, I turned it into an LJ avatar, too…)

I played Guitar Hero for a couple of hours over at chalain‘s place last night.

Lots of fun. And apparently a solid music background and the ability to actually play a guitar carries a little weight in the game, because I was griping about fingerings just like I remember doing back when I was learning to play the guitar.

The best thing about the game? I have no desire to beat it. I just played, had fun, and can move on to do other things now.
