TGIF

What a great Friday! Went to Neillio's Gourmet Kitchen for lunch and got their world-famous "Turkey Terrific" sub. After work I picked up Brandy and we hung out at my place for a bit, then met Paul and Jenn for dinner at Margaritas. Service was a bit slow, but the food was awesome. Then we had some ice cream, and a quick stop in Danger Planet, as Brandy had never been in there. Normally DP is a beacon of space and cleanliness, but tonight it was seriously rockin' the Smell of Geek Spirit. And not in the good way. Sheesh. We didn't stay long :P

All in all, a fantastic night. Tomorrow BJ is coming over for an all day Anime-fest. Sweet :)

Weigh-In 9/26/07

Weight: 243.8
Week Change: -1
Total Change: -65.2

Down a pound, which I'll happily take. Especially given that I've been bad about food recently. Good thing I'm going to the gym. :)

Weigh-In 9/19/07

Yay I finally went for a weigh-in two weeks in a row! Huzzah! However, Elaine (the group leader) did ask, "How come you and Megan never stay for meetings anymore? Should I take this personally? ;)" I just blamed Megan. :)

Weight: 244.8
Week Change: -1.6
Total Change: -64.2

Honestly, I was pretty happy to lose at all. I ate a lot of great food last week. :) Good thing I started going to the gym.

I celebrated losing weight by going to the cupcake store and eating four not-worth-it-cupcakes. Even though the cupcakes weren't worth the price, they were still cupcakes, which means they were the sugary-est things I've eaten in a long time. :)

Cupcake Catastrophe

I am sad to have to report that the cupcakes produced by Kickass Cupcakes are decidedly inferior. Not only do they possess unremarkable flavor and are very small (smaller than Hostess Cupcakes), they cost around $2.50 each. Totally not worth it.

However, anticipating the cupcakes was awesome. Having something to look forward to is always nice. Now I just need to find a new delicious bakery, and plan to go there someday. :)

Running, Video Games, and Cupcakes

Last night was an awesome workout at the gym. Upped the weights on some of the exercises during the circuit weight training, which is always nice, but the real win was on the treadmill. I ran for 20 minutes straight on the treadmill. Previous best was 10 minutes. I've got the 5k coming up in 11 days, so I gotta make sure I'm good to go.

On the video game front, I picked up Metroid Prime 3 over the weekend, and it's really slick. Controls feel great on the Wii. Moving and shooting is almost natural. Certainly the best shooter I've ever played without a keyboard & mouse. The beta for Team Fortress 2 has also started. This game is a riot. The artistic style of the game is amazing, and the gameplay is super smooth. Runs great on my 2 year old PC. And finally I've been playing a bit of Warcraft recently. The game is a lot of fun when you play with a friend :)

Tonight after the weigh-in Megan is forcing me to go with her to Kickass Cupcakes in Davis Square. It'll be torture, I'm sure. But somehow I'll make it through... [homer] mmmm... chocolate... [/homer]

Weigh-In 9/12/07

3 weeks since my last weigh-in, 'cause I've been busy/lazy/takeyourpick.

Weight: 246.4
Week Change: -7.2
Total Change: -62.6

Chugging right along. It's amazing how much changing yourself physically can affect yourself mentally and emotionally. I've changed enough that I've even started
hanging out with a girl. And isn't that every guy's goal? :)

GenCon 2007 Day 2

Day 2, Friday, was my lightest day this trip. Only one event. Here's the flickr photoset: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8810078@N06/sets/72157601888542379/

I got to play the brand new Starcraft Board Game. This game was even more ridiculous than the Warcraft Board Game. Waaaay too many little bits all over the board.

When you have fight in this game, you gotta line up all your units against the opponent, and there was barely room for it on this big table. Totally out of control. Perfect type of game to play at a convention, but I'd never buy it, 'cause I'd never play it.

Apart from playing Starcraft, I did a lot of walking around the dealer's room, and you can see the pictures in the flickr set.
