So last fall I bought a new laptop computer, because I thought I was going to be doing web work on the side and I needed something more studly than my now 7 year old Sony Vaio. Then I sold six books in December and it became extremely clear there would be no time for side work, so now I’ve got this fairly decent laptop which, at 6.8 pounds, weighs too much for me to actually carry around comfortably, and which I no longer have any justifiable use for. Naturally,…

To my enormous amusement, on that johari window thing, the overwhelming majority have picked ‘confident’ as my most defining trait. Interestingly, it’s not one I picked myself (I went with self-assertive). However, I apparently have no facade whatsoever: none of the words I picked to define myself were words nobody else thought applied. I think that’s funny, too. :) (Possibly I am very easily amused.) Oh, hell, the bread.

I lost a day in here somewhere. Hate that. Target points: 22 Points used: 28.5 Activity points earned/swapped: 0/0 WPA used/remaining: 6.5/28.5 Considering that I went into Dublin and ate food I have very little idea of how to count up (cajun chicken wrap: flour tortilla, 3pts; chicken inside: 1pt? 2?; mayo: 3pts? 5?; 1/3c yogurt w/granola & maple syrup: 3pts? NO IDEA.), I think I did a reasonable job of counting (I gave the chicken wrap 9 points and the yogurt thing 3) and of not totally blowing the…
in and out again
We went into Dublin today for movies. I’d hoped to do a triple header, but Casanova’s not starting here til next week, it turns out, so we only went to two. Also, Shaun has a raging headache, and Ted was all movied out after two movies. I went and saw “Brokeback Mountain” and “Walk the Line.” Ted saw “Underworld” and “Walk the Line”, and Shaun saw “Underworld” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I took away was: watching Walk the Line, which is based on real people and a real story, seemed…

Target points: 22 Points used: 26 Activity points earned/swapped: 4/4 WPA used/remaining: 35/35 Not having access to a points tracker does allow one to play fast and loose, but I think I’m doing okay. I’m certainly eating less than I have been. And probably the strawberries with whipped cream weren’t 4 whole points, but it’ll do. And maybe it was only 3 APs earned, but it was a couple of miles’ walk and 30 minutes Curves workout and 20 minutes barre work, so it’s going to be close enough, I…
