Video Vednesday

Stupid is as stupid does, but I'll be honest ... it kinda looks like fun! Redneck Rollercoaster wmv

Sniff... This Quicktime clip (20MB) brought a tear to my eye. Steve Jobs introduces Macintosh (or is it the other way around?) January, 1984. We still have one of those nifty contraptions, boxed up and preserved for future generations, a little piece of history.

Quote of the day, on the Rice Confirmation: "Great. Now the public face of U.S. diplomacy is that of a pissed-off terrier."  - The Onion.

In Other News:
I have to admit, I cheated on the diet a bit last night. It was the Missus' birthday yesterday so needless to say there was a big ol' cake just sitting there. What? She couldn't eat that whole thing by herself (actually she could - and not feel an ounce of guilt - grrr)! I only had a tiny slice but the sugar had me high as a kite. No more for me. I've never had much of a sweet tooth anyway so it's no big deal. But giving up my Manhattans? Now that's a loss... Sigh.

I went to the gym this morning. 45 borrrring minutes on the treadmill. I forgot my iPod so I had to listen to club music while trying to read the crawl on CNN. Good news is I'm slowly starting to get used to my new eating rituals. Feeling hungry is the worst part. So I just drink a giant glass of H2O whenever I feel a pang. My frickin' eye balls are floating...

you're lucky you don't have much of a sweet tooth. my days are consumed by thinking about chocolate, now that i've decided i probably shouldn't eat as much sugar as i do. giving up alcohol isn't that hard for me, but my morning mocha? fuhgetaboutit.

I have to say that boredom is my biggest downfall when it comes to exercise. I do so much better with games -- volleyball, football, whatever. When I was a kid the neighborhood always had a game going on. Now there's just the damn treadmill. What are we hamsters? Maybe you can find a game at your gym -- anything to cut through the boredom!
