Yesterday I spent almost 6 hours reading The Tale of Genji and made it another 100 pages in. Somehow, there is almost no moving forward of the plot, though Genji has grown from 0 to 25 in only a few hundred pages. It's beautiful writing, though. I think it's perhaps one of three or four books that has ever made me feel truly sad, and the only one to moisten my eyes.

Today I ran 14 miles without realizing I'd gone that far, and I got to see my high school's track finally being repaved. This coming season will the the first in 10 years where we've had a new track to run on. I suspect we will have a sharp decrease in running injuries this year.

I think I just traumatized a waiter.

"Oh my gods you finished eating all of this already?" (note, the adults at the table, who're both far more girthful than I am, have barely eaten a third of their food.)

Cooking. Peanut butter soup yesssssssssss

Found some pictures of myself a year ago, when I'd been intentionally doing the starvation thing.  I was more conventionally pretty back then, but I looked like a ragdoll with too big a head for its body.  The dress I was wearing had been a bit snug on me when I graduated middle school, and was too loose seven or eight years later.

I intend to lose some weight through diet and exercise over the next bit.

But I'm posting here, with happiness, because even if I look like that again and weigh that little, it will have been through health.  And if I end up just getting chubby in youth, that will be okay, too.

This made me happy, there's no reason anyone should starve themselves.

gNatFreak made a third GTA4 video!  These are always hilarious.

Remeber the guy who made the machete firing slingshot?

He made a gattling slingshot now

I was half-expecting it to be loaded with machetes. I am slightly disappointed.

This actually reminds me of the Roman fast firing repeater ballista that got proposed (it used a crank and a sort of chain feeding system). It was successfully prototyped, then rejected because they just figured you'd be firing several bolts into the same person. Which was a fair point since they had to be locked in place to keep the recoil from throwing your aim off.

That man is crazy, awesome, and slightly -possibly unintentionally- hilarious.

He also has one of the most awesome/creepy chuckles ever, it is especially evident in his machete firing slingshot video, when he fires it then makes that face and chuckles, dear god it's bot frightening and awesome at the same time

Watching Curiosity on the Discovery Channel. Stephen Hawking is talking about the Universe, right from the start of the Big Bang.

There are few things as delicious as practically raw hamburger.

There are few things as delicious as practically raw hamburger.

One of them is this strange concoction of cashews, linguine, and a vinegar-based sauce that I just made. I have no idea how I got here, but it is delicious.

Also I'm happy because I had another chance to bug Darvi about something meaningless and trivial again.

Bugging Darvi about things meaningless and pointless is always something happy. In fact, it could probably be used as a preventive drug against depression.

.......Ask your doctor about Darvi today! Side effects may include drowsiness, roleplaying stupor, wasting time on Bay12, losing your soul to TvTropes, and nausea.
