It Could Be Worse

Day 2 of Nutrisystem went roughly the same as Day 1. I had some popcorn at the movies (which means that even though I didn't add butter or salt it still tasted like it was drenched in butter and salt) and although that made things far less healthy than Day 1 I was still well under the calorie threshold.

For breakfast I had some sort of cinnamon bar, it wasn't bad. For lunch I tried the black beans and rice. It was really good, but again not very much to it. Dinner was Pasta Fagioli, again not bad. I ate a banana with dinner to fill up a bit. I did err by having some popcorn at the movies. Air popped popcorn at home would have been acceptable, movie theater popcorn probably not so much. The plan dessert was a surprisingly not shitty brownie. I still went to bed pretty friggin' hungry.

Yesterday was a shit work day. I did manage to head over to Joker's Child with Danny late in the afternoon. I picked up the latest volume of The Walking Dead. It was good but not a lot happened in it. I also picked up the two Hot Toys Joker figures. I've been staying away from 1/6 scale action figures in part because they're really toys as opposed to statues, in part because it's like buying a really expensive action figure, and in part because there are so many of them if I get into it I'll have nowhere to put them. I'm still searching for a good Joker statue though, and these two figures were pretty cool. It did mean I spent roughly $300 more than I had planned to.

Lila tagged along to the movies with some of the Antioch people, we saw Twilight. I disliked it as much as I did the first time. It's not even that it's horrible, it's just that it's not good. Robert Pattinson isn't great, but he's not bad. Kristen Stewart is a cute kid, and it seems like she can actually act, she just must have chosen not to in this one. Even Catherine Hardwicke's work doesn't repluse me. Thirteen was decent and I thought Lords of Dogtown was pretty good. I've always been a big fan of vampire and werewolf stories. This one though...not so much. I don't know. Maybe it's just a girl thing, and therefore I automatically don't get it.

Anyway...I'll be back later today with a few more thoughts on a few more things (my continuing bouts of borderline psychosis, the gremlins living in my armchair, and a brief synopsis of my ever growing plans for 2009). Later...
