The Skeptic's Progress  Help me win a contest? Thanks. Been a while since I posted, but I've got some results from shooting around New Westminster recently. ( New Westminster scenes ) I just bought a presale ticket! (password: orange, if you're interested). It's a fairly decent seat too. If I can manage to smuggle my camera in, I should be able to get good shots. Snowing again? How the hell are we going to host the Winter Olympics next year if we keep getting all this snow??? When we die, all opportunities are lost forever. Why do I have to work all day around delicious delicious pizza? Anyhoo, can of Alphagetti (300), three Cokes (450), bowl of Corn Flakes (250). Total: 1000 Not much happening today. Freed up a lot of hard-drive space by burning things onto DVDs. Diet: two hard-boiled eggs (150), bowl of Shreddies (200). Total: 350. No Coke! I've already got the twinges of a caffeine headache. Already lost a little weight too, although it's probably due to water loss and my system emptying out. I don't feel bloaty anymore. Now comes the hard part: resisting the temptation to reward myself. "I've been good for three days, I'll take a day off and splurge." Doesn't work that way. Undoes all the work, and you have to start from scratch. Gotta stick to it consistently. I'm aiming at two months, then I'll see where I'm at. I snuck onto the roof of my building, and ( took these ) Rod Stewart tickets went on sale at 10AM today. I was planning to buy some to resell, but by the time I heard my alarm, it was already quarter after. So I thought 'fuck it' and went back to sleep. It turned out I was lucky: when I checked Ticketmaster that evening, the show still hadn't sold out, so if I had bought tickets they probably wouldn't be worth anything. I had a letter in the Vancouver Sun today. Surprising, because it's been over a week since I wrote it. It was a pro-RCMP, anti-media opinion about the guy who died after being Tasered at the airport. I'd given up on it. But apparently, they've been saving up letters on the topic, and printed a bunch of them at once. Did some diet shopping at Safeway, got cereal, skim milk, canned pasta, pickles. Canned pasta is great for when you're craving something that tastes like fast food; it's surprisingly low on calories. I just wish Heinz didn't stop making plain ol' spaghetti. When did that happen? When did every kind of canned pasta become some sort of kiddy gimmick? Alphagetti, Zoodles, Simpsons, Dinogetti, Dora the Explorer...I just want spaghetti, dammit! And somewhere along the way, they seem to have stopped making my favorite cereal, Team. Then I went across the street to the library to photocopy my tax return and return an overdue book (Adventure Motorcyclist's Handbook or something like that). My PlayStation 2 crapped out for good, and I was thinking about treating myself to a PS3. I drove down to BestBuy (after a brief stop at Staples to buy laminate sheets) but at the last minute I decided that 400 dollars was just a bit more than I wanted to spend on ANYTHING right now. Especially when I need a new mattress, and to get my bike fixed, and since stopping at Staples, I suddenly want a new filing cabinet too. With fancy hanging folderrrrs! Mmmmmmmmmm. God I'm a nerd. And I finally put my bed back together. Since the bedbug spraying, I've been sleeping on the couch, only 'couch' is a rather generous term for what's really more of a loveseat. Bloody uncomfortable. I need to stretch out! Meanwhile, ( Stephen Hume responded to my email. ) Daily calorie count: Super big gulp (700), cup of dried apricots (350), bowl of corn flakes, skim milk (120). Total: 1170 Shit, I can actually FEEL those apricots going through me. Wild. The restaurant got tagged by a vandal Friday night, as did a bunch of other places around Kingsway and Edmonds. Fucking retards. "I sprayed a wall, I'm cool." "Hey, I want to be cool too, I can spray a wall!" Then it's fucking everywhere. Goddam cockroaches. So I painted over it today, and also installed a new doorstop. I only mention it because it's nice to have some record of the extra shit I do at work. God knows I'll never get a 'good job' from Mel. And what the hell is this? Snow? Again? Really? REALLY? Doesn't seem to be lasting though. Actually, it's sort of pretty out right now; the snow fell, then started to melt, then froze again after dark so the trees all have this white crust on them. I think I'll go out and try to grab a shot or two. In the meantime, today I just had a can of tuna (115) and three glasses of Coke (450). Total: 565. But I didn't get to run because of the snow (aw shucks, it's always something, isn't it?) ------- EDIT: I went out, ( here's the pictures I took ) |
