How you know when you need to lose weight: Your gardener, who sees you seldom enough that any changes in your physical appearance garners attention, says that you look like you've gained weight. >< He was quick to be all, "You look prettier with meat on your bones!" But I know the truth. OK. Losing weight was one of my new year's resolutions, which I promptly did nothing about. But when you've gained so much weight that it spurs spontaneous comments, it's time to face reality, and the scale, once more. I don't want to waste food so I'll finish what I have in the fridge, but I am going to be super careful about buying or making anything else. I'm also going to have to turn on my treadmill again. Assuming the lack of use in the last 6 months hasn't caused it to stop working entirely. I may also have to quit Daring Bakers, because having to make a whole big dessert every month is not going to help matters.
SIGH. Going on a diet when you haven't been on one in a long while is hard, because it's like a whole lifestyle change. You also have to start shrinking your stomach, which is the hardest part in the first phase, so that eating less still fills you. But in those early stages your stomach SO isn't filled, and those hunger pangs can be overwhelming!
I was playing WoW last night, and usually I ignore the Trade channel. But this really annoyed me.
I signed on in the middle of a conversation people were having about pallies and DKs and tanking and crap like that. This one guy, I can't remember his name but it was something like Corwin, starts talking about how he believes this or that about DKs and people who play DKs, something about how most DKs are played by people who've never played a tank before, and that OP doesn't mean they can do ANYthing. Some people agreed, some didn't, I didn't have any problem with what he'd said, it made sense, etc.
But then someone more forcefully detracted what Corwin was saying. The convo went something like this:
Qvytr: corwin doesn't know shit
Corwin: Oh right, the baby pally knows what he's talking about. I suppose it's impossible that I'm a GM on another server and just play on this one.
Qvytr: and now he's a liar
Corwin: If anyone is interested, they can PM me and I would be happy to give them my main's info.
Qvytr: corwin has two assholes, one he talks with and the other he, well, you know
OK. Qvytr or whatever his name was, I can't remember that either, is a pretty antagonistic individual. I'm not saying he's a great guy. Who the hell knows, Corwin COULD be a GM. If he isn't one, then he's just a loser who tried to bluff with the stupidest claim possible. But if he IS one, then that pisses me off, for the following reasons:
1) If you ARE a GM, does that mean that your opinions then become FACT?
2) Does using that position of power to win an argument in TRADE CHANNEL make you right? When, again, you are stating an opinion and not facts?
3) If you really are a GM, shouldn't you know that a low-level toon doesn't necessarily mean that that person is a noob who doesn't know what they're talking about? That these days, everyone and their mother has 8 alts?
4) Are you a freaking NEW GM, who's so proud of his newfound position and power that you would even share that information with Trade even if it were true?!
What an asstard. Qvytr is an asstard, but he was fully within his rights to disagree with someone in trade. No one had to agree w/ him. Corwin was an asstard who, in my opinion, was totally out of line if his claim to be a GM were true, or who was a lying asstard who made an extremely lame bluff.
Not much update on the housing front. My dad is starting to drive me crazy again with his pedantic, overly thorough, analytical/critical assessments. In his mind, you can't do enough research. You have to do as much research as possible, and then when you've exhausted your avenues, you find new avenues to research some more. It makes me INSANE. I'm not against caution, but I am against caution to the point of paralyzation. In my view this is an opportunity, and with his tortoise-like ways it may just pass me by. Anyway, his latest thing is that he thinks a casita should be a top-level requirement. A casita is a separate detached room that is inaccessible from the main house that has its own bathroom and therefore can function as a living space on its own. He's looking at all the different building areas that he remembers having a casita option back in the day. We have seen ONE house so far that's had a casita. And now it's a requirement?! *pulls hair*

Edit: Dollhouse's 6th ep is this Friday. This is supposedly when Joss wrested control back. Here's an interview he did regarding the episode and the show in general.
