see.. seriously..

Once a month.. lol.

Anyway, the non pop thing died a pretty quick death. Well and honestly, it had less to do with pop and more to do with associations. I eat out a lot, mostly because I eat alone a lot (not a sad thing, em and I are busy people so.. ) and I need to kill that. Badly. The biggest problem is I crave fountain Diet Coke. Something about a Fountain DC is soo much better than a can or 2 lt. Anyway, thats why I needed to stop.

But I didn't. well I did for a while, and the funky thing is, I stopped eating out.. (to avoid the temptation).. and actually replaced all DC with tea (orange Pico or whatever it is american Iced tea). and the other odd thing is, I didn't get as hungry. I've heard that fake sweetener actually makes you more hungry.. but who knows.

Either way, my week long sojourn to the no pop side is over.


TV... man.. DVRs are awesome. I never watched TV before getting a DVR. Maybe thats a bad thing, I dunno. I hate trying to make appointments just to sit on the couch. I feel guilty then start getting fidgety. Unless I'm watching with someone else.. then its like I'm doing something. Anyway. THis fall TV season has been funky.

Fringe - I'm not sure I like it. Em and I made up a drinking game for the first episode. Every time Olivia Dunn (??) says.. "I'm Olivia Dunn" take a shot. I'm pretty sure she says it 20 times in the premier. We've watched 2 episodes and I kinda like it, but it's going to have to be less derivative of X files or its moving off the DVR list.

True Blood - This show is dumb.. but I'm addicted. It's written for women (check out all of the guys..) seriously.. yes there is sex.. but it's still very much a chick show. I know it's based off a series of novels, that I think are pretty much vampire romance (which btw.. Book a Holic on the west side now has a section called "Horror Romance" who woulda thunk). Regardless, it appeals to that 35% gay part of me, and I dig it. Even if it is dumb.

Heroes - Um.. Meh. I could do an entire post. and prolly will.. in another 30 days

Just got finished watching Sanctuary and the New Clone Wars thing. I actually like both of them quite a bit. Sanctuary is cheezy, but I dig it. and Clone Wars was pretty much better than all of the other Star Wars stuff since RotJ (scratch that, the Genedy Tarakovsi (sp?) clone wars was awesome. Especially the first season.).

Anyway, It's late and I should sleep. See you after Halloween. =)

So.. it's an every 30days thing

Or something like that I dunno..

Things.. Well things are things. I've decided to stop drinking pop (soda, coke whatever). Keep this in mind, I've been drinking diet coke/soda for probably most of my life. I was a big pop drinker in my youth. Mostly because it was a reward from my mother. Clean your room we'll go into town and get a coke. that kind of thing. it was the 80's so don't go baggin on my mom for not being all internet cool and vegetarian. Hell, that was back when you could still buy the cool Lawn darts.. so its no wonder I didn't end up with a hole in my head.

So yeah, No more diet coke. I'm already kinda going through the DTs. I think its more the caffeine than anything, but I'm not quitting caffeine. Most of my caffeine intake was from diet coke, so I'm going to try switching over to tea. I already drink 3-4 cups of green tea a day, but that doesn't have much in the way of Caffeine. So my plan is to supplement it with Iced Tea. Nice Antioxidants.. (which i'm pretty sure is b/s). and caffeine (which you're supposed to have some of anyway.. which again is probably b/s).

Which brings me to all this Alarmist poop that pops up on the internet and magazines. Pretty much, whatever you're going to eat.. is going to kill you. Pretty much. I'm dying right now. Even if I was in awesome health. I'm dying. It's the nature of being a live. The chaos of life going towards the Order of death.. back to the chaos of life that our bodies (should) give back to the earth. Granted we're all embalmbed so worms won't even go close to use, but still.

Anyway, F them.

Wow, I'm in a pissy mood.. I wish I had a large diet coke. rt44 style from Sonic.. GD they make a tasty beverage.

ok, back to WoW or 360 so I stop thinking about it.

Laters,

(and sorry for the pissy post.. granted no one reads this.. so sorry Sauce. No problem Sauce.).

Dee and Dee

So I haven't really been blogging like at all, mainly cause I just don't. Not that blogging is bad or anything, I'm just not sure I have anything that interesting to say. That said.. here is an update.

So I've started playing D&D quite a bit actually. I've never really been much of a Fantasy Setting person. Got burned out on it back in High School. I mean, yeah, I've read LotR and the hobbie, I know who D'rizzt (sp?) is, Robert Jordan etc. It just hasn't intrested me in a while. All of the stories seemed played out, and basically rip offs of LotR. Fast forward to a couple of years ago when Jay talked me into reading the Song of Fire and Ice books. Hells Bells. I hadn't torn through a books like that in a loong time (quite possibly the last one was Stand back in 5th grade).

And that kicked off a new age of reading in my life. It's pretty awesome actually. Up to that point I was pretty much only reading comics and graphic novels. Whats weird is that I didn't even know that I missed reading books. So I finished up the Fire and Ice books, well up to the 4th one, I'm still waiting on the 5th book to be published before reading the 4th book. I could just read it again, but... I have since discovered other authors and books.

For example, a friend from work turned me on to Richard K. Morgan Kovacs novels. Nice new scifi stuff. Then I started reading the Malazan series by Stephen Erikson. and here is the silly thing. I am not a fan of book series. I usually get tired of the characters. There wasn't any real danger of the Characters dying off, so the drama was lost on me. These new books however, have real drama. These new authors get you attached to characters and then kill them off. Making you want to read more. Anyway. So I was kinda into the whole fantasy setting thing.

and here I thought I didn't have anything to say, AND I was going to talk about DnD. Oh well, I'll save the post for later.
