A Caution
Monday, January 14th 2008
Not having seen a lot of movies this past year I can't really say how "Sweeney Todd" and Johnny Depp compare to the other nominees but, as I posted last week, I thought the film was remarkable and Depp perfect.
I hesitate to go so far as to recommend the film to everyone however, since I did avert my eyes during the scene where Todd 'dispatches' one victim after another even though it's all very stylized. Actually the sound effects are probably more disturbing than the vis...
Where Was I?
Sunday, January 13th 2008
After getting off to a speedy start the paperwhites just stood around for a week or more until just a few days ago. Now the house fairly reeks.
I feel like I've been AWOL for a month. I haven't been nearly as focused on diet & exercise as I was before but it's been gratifying to realize that I've internalized so many changes over the past months and that even without a conscious effort I've been able to maintain my weight and fitness.

A Perfectly Bizarre Week
Saturday, January 12th 2008
The temperature has not gone below freezing for almost a week. I found a mosquito in the kitchen sink the other morning.

I took time out from ...

Losing Another Forty Pounds
Friday, January 4th 2008
Jim is out of the house this morning and now I'm running late after playing around with his new MacBook Pro. I thought I was gonna be tickled just to get the old PowerBook but the new computer is soooo nice...Anyway, I did something I may live to regret. I downloaded the CK Nutrition and Exercise Manager to the MacBook.
Jim didn't stick with the dieting this summer and I couldn't motivate the both of us so I let it go since I'd decided sometime ago that I wasn't going to ma...
