recital! rejection! r…that’s all I can think of.

Last night I went to my friend Jai’s bellydance class recital, which was lots of fun. Everybody looked wonderful and did a good job with their dances, and I really liked Jai’s number a lot. Very fun! Everybody was clearly having a great time, even when they were nervous, so yeah, was good. I’m glad I went. :) Another rejection on ANGLES this morning (not from Tor, though). Snif. Though I must say, it’s much less disenheartening to have your agent tell you it got rejected than to open the…

stats, 8/25

Target points: 22 Points used: 40 Activity points swapped: 2 WPA used/remaining: 16/19 Man. That is sufficient Blowing It to make me want to not count points for tonight. :P Overall, I don’t consider it to be particularly damaging, but in conjunction with going to the state fair tomorrow, where I .intend. to eat things that are bad for me, I’m afraid I’m going to go into the red and spend the rest of the week miserable. My reaction every time to actually going over my points is to stop…

I weigh myself daily, and suspect I’ll see a loss in the next day or two, but whether that holds all the way through til next Thursday is anybody’s guess. I used to hit a…

waaaaining

It is *pouring* rain. Sometimes it stops to just sprinkle, but then it revs up again to really dump. My poor bike is out there getting drowned. I need to remember to bring it inside. And work myself up to going for a walk in the waaaaain. Weigh-in day today, nothing exciting for me, but Ted has lost 24 pounds since the beginning of April, and 41 since his highest weight. I’m very impressed. :) He has, the last couple of days, suddenly been feeling skinny. (Svelte is his word…

the worst movies ever :)

My friend Anna, as a method of passing time while doped up after surgery, decided to have a Bad Movie Off. The starring features were Steven Seagal’s On Deadly Ground, and Lou Diamond Phillips’ Alien Express. The utterly wonderful verdict is here. *laughs and laughs* I liked her writeup so much I read the entire thing out loud to the boys. :) My personal contender for Worst Movie Ever is probably the 2000 Godzilla with Matthew Broderick, because I have never before or since found myself shouting, “STEP ON HER!…
