So far...

So, day three starts out and all is going well. I weaned myself off caffeine (diet Coke) in just two days although I have a slight withdrawal headache today. Last night I picked Mary Lynn up from work and we out to Lone Star - one of our favorite eaterys - and I had a reasonable dinner. Instead of the usual 14oz. ribeye, lettuce wedge with bleu cheese, sweet potato loaded with butter and brown sugar, key lime pie, and two or three jumbo diet cokes, I had the 7oz. steak with 5 shrimp (grilled not fried), light butter and no sugar on the sweet potato, ate half the lettuce wedge, had no dessert, and water to drink. Plenty of food! I was full (I usually took half the 14oz. steak home for "later") and did not feel deprived. Did some light exersize after breakfast this morning (boy, I'm outta shape!) and am off to work.


BTW - the day I had my epiphany, March 15, is an important anniversary for me and Mary Lynn. It is the day we met! Easy to remember thanks to Julius Caesar’s soothsayer and one we've celebrated ever since. I got her Season 7 of As Time Goes By our favorite British comedy series. You should check it out if you haven't seen it. It was a bummer because I picked her up from work, took her home, gave her the gift, then had to leave to take a mid-term. I'm glad it's Spring Break next week so I can spend some evenings with my wife!

Tonight she's cooking leg of lamb as more formal celebration of our anniversary and I'm off to the DeepDiscountDVD.com outlet store (yes we live in the right place for once) to pick up a copy of The Incredibles for tonight's entertainment. Never got to see it in the theater so this will be a trip.

Let's see, the midnight Anime film on Starz Action tonight is Ghost in the Shell which I like but ML doesn't care for (I have to agree partly, the last 15 minutes of voice-over dialog between two lifeless robots - physical functions gone, but brains still ticking - does get a little tedious), so we may watch it depending if there's nothing else on.

Tried to use OnDemand to play chapter one of Hellsing last night but it still wouldn't go - have to call ComCast again. This is not the film van Hellsing with Hugh Jackman, but a wicked Anime series. We did get to see I, Robot on pay-per-view the other night, though. It was a lot of fun - like nothing Asimov would have written of course - and even though it got mediocre reviews we quite enjoyed it. The effects were stunning and the facial expressions realized on Sonny’s face were quite poignant at times. Recommended.

Okay, everyone back on your heads!


Contemplate.
