The Pod People Are Here

We took a walk in the park tonight, as it is such a nice night.
This group of people started following us, they stopped when we stopped.  We were walking REALLY slow, it was odd that they stayed behind us.

Anyway, I started watching them when the stopped following us, they moved like a flock of birds; one saw something and they all just followed.  It was very very strange.

A Nice Walk

We went out for Dinner with Karl and Tiffany (who is an awesome person, btw). Then we went out to Alton Baker park and scoped out the places where we are planning to set up shop to take pictures of the 5k Race this weekend.

We’ve settled on a few places and NiteCat, NiteGirl and I have walked the course.

We had a blast walking the route and just enjoying the country-like atmosphere.  It was a good evening walk.

Here is a picture from the SECOND part of the race that we are going to photograph.

Hungarian Soup Majesty

Just had some nice soup, normally soup is not blog-worthy, but this was GREAT.

It was a Vegetarian Hungarian Cauliflower soup, loaded with pepper and tomato.  It was server unnaturally hot (volcanic) and I had a Turkey sandwich along with it.  My sinuses are draining due to the pepper content… it was that peppery.

Now I gotta go light on supper or work out harder later on…. damn.

No Gym Today

After Jen woke me up in the middle of the night for the second night in a row, I just couldn’t get up at 4:30 for the Gym… which I hate.

I only took in about 1700 calories and burned about 2500 in straight exercise over the past 24 hours, so I’ve made a positive move any way you look at it.

Tomorrow the plan is to get up early and head to the local gym at my house then do whatever (probably go picture hunting) for the rest of the day.  I’m gonna be selling a bunch more books too, oh well.

If I don’t remember until after the fact, I’ll be heading to the 5 Mile race on Sunday to take pictures of the runners, should be spiff.

Fat Blockers and Fat Guys

I’m looking at getting the over the counter version of Xenical: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlistat

It’s supposedly due in early summer.  Which means I’ll have to stock up before I leave the US of A.

It’s called Alli.  I’ve been on it before, you have to plan your day around it as it forces you to go to the bathroom more, and you have to avoid fatty foods or you fart grease.  I know that this was an indelicate description, but I really did fart out stuff that vaguely smelled like KFC and looked like liquid cooking oil.  It happened while I was playing Project IGI, I farted then realized that I was warm.  I didn’t feel anything, but I had farted out grease.

So yeah, I’ll be careful.

Jacking up my System

I’m about 112 pounds above the weight I was when I entered grade 12, for those who care that was around 220 pounds.  I want to get down to that weight, so I have a ways to go.

I’ve upped my vitamin B12 and B6 intake, along with an extra supplement of vitamin C and various heart health drugs, I’ve read that B12 and B6 jack up your heart and thyroid functions, which I hope leads to more efficient fat burning.  NiteGirl and I are trying to stick to a low fat diet, keeping our calorie intake below 1800 calories a day.

I’m tracking myself on traineo and relying on friends and family to keep me on the straight and narrow.

My goal is to get below 300 quickly, wish me luck.

NiteGirl is Sick

NiteGirl is sick and needed medicine:

“Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat or prevent certain infections caused by bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is also used to treat or prevent anthrax in people who may have been exposed to anthrax germs in the air. Ciprofloxacin extended-release (long-acting) tablets are used only to treat certain types of urinary tract infections. Ciprofloxacin is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing bacteria.

Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.”

Yup, they gave her the Anthrax cure.  We are still holding out hope for the Slayer-Away

Warm Dust Bunnies

Just came back from “Hot Fuzz” with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead)

It was pretty damn good.  It had the same snappy edits and pacing of Shaun, with the same kind of humor and fun.  Pegg and Frost are a good on-screen duo, playing off each other well.  I won’t poil any of it for you save this, hold on to you hats for the best on-screen flying kick you have ever seen.

All in all, I recommend this movie for action buffs, British comedy fans and Bill Nighy maniacs.

More from the Fire


Gheen Irrigation After the Fire, originally uploaded by NiteMayr.

NiteGirl drove while we went out today to try and get a picture of the damage at Gheen Irrigation. Yesterday it was wet and miserable outside, but I brought an umbrella to take pictures, but it was busy there and I didn’t see a good place to park and take a picture without raising eyebrows.

So, today we drove by as slow as we could and I snapped off a few shots; which you can check out at Flickr.

NiteGirl drove us down town and to the park. She had a couple rough spots, but no one died. It gave me ample opportunity to take the pictures I wanted.
