It's about bleedin' time...

For two things actually. First - I'm finally on vacation. I'm about 5 days in (I have Friday and the weekend before I go back), so I'm really enjoying my time off. And second.....

I'd like to thank Bioware and Lucasarts for finally patching the first Knight of the Old Republic RPG for the PC so I can finally run it decently. There was a nasty bug when it used onboard video (I know, I need a DECENT video card), and I finally got to play past the Undercity on Taris - I'm now a Jedi Padawan on Dantooine, and I'm loving every minute of it....

Whew...

My god is it frickin' hot out! We're supposed to hit99 degrees. 99 DEGREES?!?!? That's August weather for pities sake! All I have to say is thank god for Air Conditioning, or I'd be a puddle of goo right now....

TV

America has no taste - instead of voting for the better performer, they voted for the cutest. It only goes to show that Americans in general don't care whether or not a person has any talent - as long as they look pretty. I do know one thing, I won't be watching Idol next year, but I'll definitely be picking up Bo Bice's first album.

As for the other Season Finale's - Lost was the best. Talk about unbelieveable. And a great cliffhanger for next season as well... I can't wait 4 months for the next season to start.

Another week down...

And 9 weeks before vacation. I can't wait. It'll be nice to take a week off in July - and enjoy the sun and rest for a while. I hope to catch up on my reading, and hopefully relax outside for a while.

Bought National Treasure on DVD.. I love the movie, and it'll be nice to see it again.

Quick Post...

Before I go to work. I love watching some types of TV. I don't do well with reality shows (with the BIG exception of "The Mole"), but for some inexplicable reason, I got into this past season of "The Amazing Race"

I was hoping that Rob and Amber wouldn't win. Yeah, I know they are from New England, and I should have rooted for them, but Rob is an ass. I can't stand him.

And now I can't stand all the stupid publicity they are getting becuase they are getting married.

I have 2 words for them....

WHO CARES?

Cool Cameos!

I like to watch TV - granted I only get 7 channels, but I like a few shows on broadcast. But watching TV tonight (I HAD to watch LOST), I saw 3 really cool cameos.

UPN's "Kevin Hill" is starting to grow on me. It's a pretty neat show. I watching the episode, and one of the guest stars is playing a priest. After watching for about 10 minutes, I realize it's Wayne Brady. CSI: NY was a great episode, especially with Michael Clarke Duncan on it, and then on Will and Grace I saw Gregory Hines... Pretty cool...

Ch-ch-changes...

Well, I'm taking another step - I'm cutting soda out of my diet. Not completely, but I won't be buying 2 liters of Caffeine Free Pepsi every week. I'm 8 months with no caffeine, and my health is better for it. But now, I'm going to start cutting out unneccesary sugars - And Soda is a big one. I need to drink more water (especially with Summer around the corner), and I might possibly switch to Gatorade. I drink Wal-Mart Brand Orange Drink mix (100% Vitamin C, which is good), so I might stick with that for a while.

And I think that the next one will be (shudder) my mints. I LOVE Brach's Peppermints. But either I need to cut them out of my daily intake (I do eat a lot of them), or switch to a Sugar-Free brand of peppermints.

Wasn't feeling well today, so I called in sick. Started taking to my supervisor, I said I wasn't feeling very well, andthen proceeded to rattle off my symptoms to me. Seems it's been going around the office, taking out 1 person at a time.

Also, I might be getting a new mountain bike within the next week. My supervisor's Boyfriend is selling a $400 mountain bike for $150. I'm hoping I can bring it down to $100, and I can get it off him on Friday. If I get the bike, I'll be plotting a daily bike ride down Lincoln Street before work each day. Hopefully I can start to shed these pounds soon....
