So it's my 25th party tonight; does the clan want pictures?
Absolutely! Is this blowout safely away from the general population and anything combustible, or should the clan start taking up a fund to rebuild? I mean, star red mage turning 25...the heat coming off you alone could be dangerous.
Have a great time, James, and know that we will be lifting a glass in your honor!
I suffer from a hummingbird-like tendency to adopt too many hobbies and jump between a small set of them constantly. It means that I know an awful lot about an awful lot, but I frequently have to spend a few weeks getting back into the
groove of an old hobby (playing guitar for example) before I feel competent again.
Man, we really are brothers...you just described me perfectly! I am a totally hobby-driven person, and I carry around all manner of trivia that just chooses to easily sit in my head. I REALLY would like to know why I can remember lyrics to thousands of songs but could never do the same with, say, organic chemistry. I guess I got the wrong flavor of hard drives installed in my head...
BTW...it's Friday--challenge report! I weighed in at 222 this morning--a 5-pound drop from last week! I'm stoked, because I've been too busy to do anything other than eat right and I'm still tracking well. I'm hoping now that the kids' activities are winding down for the school year, I can get more active and get up to my target loss of 1 pound/day. Not complaining by any means, but I'm motivated at this point and would love to be close to 200 by my birthday.
My son and I were going to do FNM tonight, but I
got about 4 hours sleep last night and can hardly focus. We have to get up in the morning and drive 150 miles for drumline championships anyway and will be getting back around 1AM, so I can't justify being out into the wee hours of Saturday morning (our FNM will likely hit 6 rounds).
@SM - I second Kaze's recommendation for chai...I love the stuff. As a starter blend, I've found Celestial Seasonings to be about the best of the supermarket-level brands. The decaf Thai-style chai they have is particularly tasty with a shot of cream and some Splenda (or honey). I don't like Tazo's chai quite as well. Iced chai--especially with a decent shot of skim milk and sweetener--is also yummy. And the more tea I drink, the less I tend to eat!
Best of luck to all our brothers who are hitting FNM tonight--burn em out, guys!
