I'm not exactly dieting, but I am reducing my calorie consumption, hopefully in a permanent way. I'm pretty much having two rigorous meals of about 400 calories, and then one meal where I can go to town and rock up to 1200 without having to worry about it. It's worked okay for the last few days, and the one decadent-ish meal a day helps to keep me ( Read more... )

Bought yet more gray clothes yesterday. What's the deal with that? I went out to buy clothes this weekend and the only things I found that I liked are GRAY.

I even went out last night, to the Ash St. Saloon to see the Turn-Ons (the Charmparticles opened, and they were really delightful) and had my soul tickled and soothed again. This is the third time I've seen that band and ( Read more... )

Chilly, light rain, high wind. Oh, yeah, good stuff. It's stay-in-and-drink-toddies weather; and on that note, I think I'll see if I can acquire a bottle of brandy (because Maker's Mark can be toddied, but brandy toddies are yummier ( Read more... )

Interesting experiences eating out over the last week or so... I think I'm just tormenting myself, because I'm extremely hungry right now, and it'll be almost three hours before I can eat again. Dang.

Alas, in my enthusiasm I forgot to note the most important part of the Liza Minelli special ( Read more... )
