retro's house of random randomness

I've been working out 4-5 days a week for the last 2.5 weeks, I've cut how much I eat, and yet I've GAINED 3lbs. I keep telling myself that's because it's muscle or something... but I don't think that's really possible.

Fuck me.

That's why measurements are more important than the scale. You need to be measuring yourself every 3-4 weeks. Muscle is more dense than fat, so if the scale is telling you you gained, you need to start measuring so you can see if it's fat or muscle that you're gaining.

Also, try to aim for ~1500 calories a day, and try to get 100g of protein. It will help. I promise.

I love my sister... but I swear to God, she views everything in such black and white terms it's absurd. Today the topic of aliens came up, and she said they don't exist because God didn't create any other worlds. When I asked how she knows that... she said because it isn't in the Bible. Then later on today she was ranting about how homosexuality is a sin because God wouldn't allow people to be born gay; so it's a choice. In her world, things either are or they aren't, middle ground doesn't exist. I think I've posted this before, but she informed her fiancee that he has to quit playing World of Warcraft when they get married because she doesn't want him playing it because it harms relationships. That, of course, is because my ex-wife told everyone that we split up because of WoW. :24:

Gaaaaah... I can't stand that both she and my mom let their lives be ruled by their theology.

I feel like an old man... my knee aches when it gets cold or rains. :24:

I find it amusing that when I put a game into my PS3, it goes to the Playstation UI. When I put a movie in, it automatically starts playing the movie.

With that, it's time for Harry Potter.

Speaking of the Harry Potter movies... as sad as it is that he died, I don't like the first Dumbledore near as much as I like the second. That may be because the second Dumbledore reminds me a lot of how Ian McKellen played Gandalf.

I didn't like his voice. He always sounded like he was sick.

 

[retro]

That's a big reason why I didn't like him... he seemed far too frail.

Alas! Ear wax.

OMG... I actually got a ton of cash back on my taxes this year. I normally get a little back or owe, but his year I'm getting close to $4,500 enough to probably help me make it through April without a job, and let me get my plane ticket for my friend's wedding in May. :cheerleader:

 

[retro]

Fuck. You'd think that since I found out I'm getting money back, I'd be able to not freak out for one night and actually get some sleep. Ha!

I've gotta be out the door in about 6 hours to go pick Zac up for the day.

Damn you California... it's been 7 days, where's my refund?

Oh wait, your website changed from it being 7 days, to now it's up to 10 business days from this last Friday. Fuckers.

The federal government will be issuing my refund somewhere between yesterday and the 29th. How's that for a window? :24:

For the government, I'd say very damn good!

I've had it with this damn double vision
My hand swollen, I can't keep holding on
My heart's sinking, and stuck in deadly rhythm
I can't fake it, I can't, can't brush it off


Love
Love is dangerous
Love
Love is so dangerous


I'm back at it, I just don't seem to listen
I see your lips, I just can't hear the sound
It's all static, Just like my television
Her skills sharpened, Her eyes cut through the clouds


(I need)
Love
Love is dangerous
(Hard times don't be fooled when she says)
It's Love
Love is so dangerous

(We'll betray the ones we care about)
Love is so dangerous
(Life's cruel, so we all pretend to fuck)
Love
Love is dangerous


(I need)
Love
Love is dangerous
(Hard times don't be fooled when she says)
It's Love
Love is so dangerous
(We'll betray the ones we care about)
Love is so dangerous

Love
Love is dangerous

Another two jobs applied for... one for a job at my qualification level, and one below it.

Just registered for Jeopardy tryouts in two weeks... here's to hoping I get an invitation to the in person one again. I'm gonna make sure that I'm able to make it this time around rather than last time when I didn't do it cause I didn't have a job. Hey, that's familiar.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I just finished watching the second part of this season of Psych... and there was a cliffhanger, and now I have to wait until like October or something to find out what happened.
