Multi-purpose cell phones that double as walkie-talkies that you use to talk with someone in, say San Francisco! When you work in a cubicle!

Try the fucking phone– it’s on the desk right next to you!

Yes. Final Fantasy VII for the Playstation arrived yesterday. I spent all of $10 on it, I think. I have heard good things, and at least I won’t have the guilt while playing it of knowing that I’m indefinitely borrowing it from someone who’s asked for it back several times, just only once to my face (as is the case with FFX).

I know a lot of people like FF7 better; it comes so highly recommended, I thought I’d try it.

I’m down 2 pounds since Sunday night.

I updated my photo album with pictures from our trip to the Mendocino National Forest.

Did I mention we caught a rainbow while we were there?

I’m on a new diet/exercise program that I made up yesterday. Log is at . Yes, you can cheer my on, if you want.

Basically, the idea is that I sit on my ass too much. Any activity that counts as “SOA” (sitting on ass) has to be earned now, by doing calorie-burning activities like exercise and housework and stuff. 30 minutes of activity buys me an hour of SOA, or a single unhealthy/high cal food. I get one freebie a day, so I don’t go crawl into a belltower and start shooting.

Work and driving and things of a similar nature, where I have no choice but to sit on my ass, do not count as SOA– it’s my job. When I get paid for playing DDR, I’ll quit my job and do that instead. Sex counts, of course, but only if it’s “active” sex.
Oh, and I’m no longer allowed to eat watching TV. It’s a terrible habit, and one that I must break.

Well, that’s it. My fitness-related stuff is going to go over to that other journal now. Read it if you want; it’s just for my own tracking stuff, really.
