My diet went off the rails and I didn’t even seem to care. I only just today weighed myself — probably for the first time this year — and I’m embarrassed to say I’ve gained thirteen pounds since last time<\/a>, coming in at 219.
    At the start of the year we were having our workplace completely renovated and I found it was easier to grab some fast food on the way to work rather than try to eat my low-carb meals amid so much activity. This continued as my habit even after the renovations were done, since, as we know, fried foods are so dang tasty. I gave up fast food for Lent, but I had gotten so used to eating in the car that I replaced fast food with party store snacks. I eagerly returned to fast food after Lent, but at least tried limiting it to only Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. I finally admitted, just this week, that this was a halfassed way to diet and, without necessarily planning to, I gave up fast food again — along with limiting my snack intake while at work. I saw promising results soon after (and am loath to think how much I weighed last<\/i> week), but it pains me to think I’ve got to pretty much start all over again. And that I can’t have any more Popcorn Chicken!
    Since I’ve been overeating, why not pig out on multiple topics? I just read<\/a> that the Motion Picture Academy has nixed the idea of a special Oscar for stunt work. I’d never thought about it but a Stunts Oscar sounds like a pretty good idea. I mean, why not. Stuntpeople play an important part in many movies and their work can be more memorable than make-up or editing for the average viewer. But Academy director Frank Pierson cites how the Academy is trying to lessen the number of awards, because I guess ABC’s telecast of the awards (on March 5 2006 by the way) is more important than the awards themselves. \u2026Um, Mr Pierson? Ever heard of the Technical Awards?
    I see someone was referred to my site via a search for pictures of abandoned buildings in the city of Detroit<\/a>. I don’t normally fulfill image requests (especially since most requests are for “fat guy” images, which seems weird) but it just so happens I have such an image, courtesy of the currently flaky SEI boards<\/a>. So, let’s proceed on our tour of Detroit\u2026

    Too scary. Tour canceled.
