A couple of bits and bytes

Even though I had to get up early today, I watched TV late last night, because I've always wanted to see that documentary and these things aren't shown any earlier. I watched Super Size Me. I'm telling you, watching this on the first day of a diet is so wonderfully perfect, because at first, you think "oooh yummy hamburger", same as Morgan Spurlock himself. And at the end, you never want to see another hamburger in your life. I'd rather have the Quinoa dish his girlfriend was cooking. Now that looked yummy.
Although I wasn't as surprised as the Doctors seemed to be that Spurlock got addicted to Maccy D's. I only wish it were as easy to get addicted to healthy things (like good food and exercise) as it is to unhealthy things (like cigarettes and chocolate).

The past few days, between work and studies, I made my way through the archive of Girl Genuis, an online comic set in a steampunk universe, complete with airships, mad scientists and their weird and wonderful creations. A great find for me, although I am quite certain a few on my friend's list have been reading it for years.

The other day, I was in SL and took a portrait picture of my avatar. Looking at it, I realized that I didn't model my avatar as much on my real looks as I thought. In fact, my avatar looks a lot like my mother when she was 25, with a hint of my face. I wonder what Freud would say to that.

Today, I ate...

... one portion of Almased diet drink (made from soy, honey and yoghurt and with everything the body needs, has no gluten, and is Montignac-able), one giant salad from my favourite Turkish kebab shop (one with everything sans cheese), three carrots, one cup of hot veggie broth, and lots of tea. I'm going to have another Almased before going to bed.
And I'm not hungry. Instead, I feel good. *said in the same wondering voice Kirk uses at the end of Wrath of Khan; you know what I mean, fellow geeks*

Oooh by the way, britishamerican, the tea you sent me Christmas before last? The green tea with mint and spices, that smells and tastes wonderfully like candy canes and mint humbugs? I finally opened it today and am drinking the first cup as I type this. Thanks again! :D
