    Still iritated...
    I'm still irritated about my "friend", and what's got my goat today is remembering how in her e-mail, she bitched about me "drinking her beer and her chuuhai." That's pissing me off because she offered them to drink. (And her whole thing was I apparently guzzled her booze, but oh, when she wanted to go out for a beer, I was too tired. Yeah. Fever? Sick? Breathing problems? Pshaw, I'm just being self-centered and ruining her fun. Oh, and yeah. One beer. I don't even remember drinking a chuuhai, and also, I'd have rather had juice or tea. -_-)

    Bitching at someone for taking the drinks you offered...yeah. That's a great host, right there.

    I still haven't read her e-mail back.

    Oh my
    Genesis the Being failed to put deodorant on this morning. I noticed this fact in the middle of history class when I raised my hand to add to discussion. It's not scorching with odor, but I am hoping that others do not notice very much. I am trying not to sit or stand real close to people out of courtesy. How embarrassing.

    The body started the monthly also, which could account for some of the earlier stress-induced flail post and the emotions that went with it. This also accounts for the fact that I am looking for someone else to tackle the next class and the discussion on the group project. Maybe I can bribe someone with a promise to make meat buns over winter break?

    Wii Fit Challenge~: YA-HOOO~
    Time spent: 1:03
    Calories burned: 280
    BMI: 28.90

    I skipped yesterday because I wasn't breathing well and also, yeah, I was too ragey for it. ^^;; But I definitely was going to exercise today. My throat is still kinda bleh, which is why I was, I thought, completely off on the rhythmic boxing thing--so imagine my shock when I got my second highest score.

    I also got a "Perfect march!" on the marching-band game--a major step up from one time when I did it and the cable from the wiimote to the nunchuck thwapped me in the face and knocked my glasses off (I got l33t m4d SK1LLZ, y0~). I also tried the obstacle course, again...three times. There is something to be said for sheer, unbridled determination to not lose. I finally figured out how to work with the ice, so that's a major hurdle cleared, and I am very, very close to beating the bastard of a game.

    I also noticed that jackknifes do not kill me as much as they did a week ago--oh, I still laugh at the game for even thinking I'm ready for even thirty, much less "challenging" the trainer--AHAHAHAHA, no--but I got up to fifteen before I wanted to die. Before, it was around ten. So, yeah, much improvement. I might bump it up next week. :)

    The big thing, though, was my weight went down, quite a bit--I'm finally under 29 for my BMI! No more giri-giri obese! Just firmly overweight!--and it doesn't feel like the times when I would look at the lower BMI it spat out and go, "You lie like a lying thing. LIES!" The last few days, I have actually had that same "getting into better shape" feeling I had when I first started. So this lets me know my reassessment was right, and I'm on the right track. I do want to add more yoga in, but I think that's going to wait until the obstacle course is no longer rubbing my face in the dirt. XD

    It's been a day.
    Yeah, it's been a day.

    People who know me in RL know that I get angry--truly angry--pretty much once a never. Pissed, yeah, I get pissed at the drop of a hat, but angry? No. I control my temper and let a lot of things slide precisely because I know how bad it is when I get mad. In the last ten years, I can count on one hand how many times I've gotten angry. Last time I got truly angry was in 2006.

    Until today. )

    Wii Fit Challenge~: The word of the day is 'bitch'
    Time spent: 1:09
    Calories burned: 324
    BMI: 29.2
    Feeling: HULK SMASH AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR

    The obstacle course is a punk ass bitch. Do you hear me? A PUNK AS BITCH.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGH.

    I beat the beginner level--I started it, yelled, "I am going to make you my bitch today!" and proceeded to pwn it. No, it wasn't as high as the first and only other time I beat it, but this time I beat it at a walk and felt confident I could do it again, unlike the first time, which was sheer, unbridled luck and panic.

    Since I had beaten it, it gave me the option of the advanced level.

    PUNK. ASS. BIIIIIIIIITCH.

    *froth at mouth*

    I am not even kidding, I was screaming at the game, calling it every filthy name in the book...and calling it filthy names because it obviously calculated the calories burned based on the "meters" you had progressed, not how much you did, because there was no effin' way I only burned eight calories one particularly bitchtastic time.

    And what, you may be wondering, make the advanced level that much more of an evil bitch of a game?

    The ice.

    That's right, there are points where the platform is ice, and your Mii will slide right off if the next platform you need to jump for is out of position. All you can do is watch as your Mii slides right off the edge, because your other choice is to commit suicide and leap into the sea.

    I was literally making infuriated screaming sounds that sounded like they should be coming out of the Hulk.

    RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.

    And to top it all off, I redid my BMI reading (because I was stuffed full of coffee and bibimbap when I got home) and when it finished the "balance" measures it told me..."you should do the obstacle course to help you!"

    Thank god you can't really rage quit the Wii Fit, or else I so would have. XD

    The Great Squash Dilemma
    So the last time I went home to visit the parents, I came back to town with two squash.

    One of these squash was, I kid you not, substantially larger than my fifteen-pound cat. The neighbors and I ate just the neck of the monstersquash in a huuuuuuge vat of soup... leaving over 3/4 of it left for future use. It's now occupying a sizable chunk of my freezer. I haven't even opened the second squash yet.

    I went home again for Thanksgiving.

    I came home with four more squash (three pumpkins and an acorn).

    Now my Christmas prayer goes like this:

    "Oh please oh please oh please, let there only be six squash coming back next time. Because I'm clearly caught in either an arithmetic or an exponential progression, and I am just not mentally prepared to deal with sixteen more squash..."

    Has anybody got any easy, low-fiddly non-dessert recipes for pumpkins/squash? Between low-carb and low-fat restrictions, pumpkin pies/breads/cakes are kind of out of the question, and I've made a bunch of soup and a bunch of curry and am trying to figure out what else to do that's mass-squash-using (ravioli's way too fiddly to use that much squash with, and my freezer would explode...)

    Wii Fit Challenge~: You dirty, rotten cheater!
    Time spent: 1:04
    Calories burned: 289
    BMI: 29.07

    This game is a dirty, rotten cheater! ARGH!

    As an addendum to the "likes to kill you by making you plummet to your death" thing. I learned today in the CHEATING ROTTEN obstacle course game that it also likes to flatten your Mii like a pancake by making logs roll over it.

    And I cry FOUL FOUL FOUL to some of my Mii getting clobbered by a pendulum; I said to jump, dangit. And WTFBBQ to me supposedly losing 1.1 kilo in a day. A day I spent stuffing my face with grits. I'm going to chalk that up to me having not had dinner, since the aforementioned grits left me stuffed to the gills. I didn't even get hungry until, of course, two minutes after I started exercising (I popped a sweet potato in the oven and let it bake while I was exercising. Mmmm, sweet potato.)

    Also, my arms and legs want to fall off and diiiiie. *death*

    Wii Fit Challenge~: Plummet and Die
    Time spent: 1:00
    Calories burned: 287
    BMI: 29.44

    Yup, weight went up again, but I ate a Southern Breakfast (tm)--cheesy grits and real sausage and ate ramen for dinner; this is not a shock. It's also not that upsetting, since I'm viewing things as a restart--I slacked off, I did exercises that were ineffective, and so now I'm starting over. I'm not going to worry unless I start going up for a week straight.

    The cycling game can blow me. I'm not even kidding. I wandered around the area trying to find the last two flags, then said "Fuck this," and quit the game. I had been doing it for about fifteen minutes, and it counted none of that time. asdfghjkl;

    I'll do the short course; the long courses can SUCK IT. GAH.

    Also, Wii Fit has a perverse love of making your Mii die spectacularly )

    Wii Fit Challenge~: My Mii commited suicide...
    Exercise Time: 1:05
    Calories burned: 278
    BMI: 29.34 (boooo~. But it's no one's fault but my own. ^^;; And I'm still lower than when I started out, so no complaints yet--ask me in a week)

    Yeah, I gained weight back, but looking at the last week, I can totally understand why. With the total pigging out that was last weekend and last night (it was a 3-day weekend and friends came to visit last weekend, and yesterday I went out with people to the yummiest Indian place ever and ate far too much cheese naan) and the sheer lack of exercising I've been doing (I didn't do any Wii Fit the whole time I had people here, or the day after because my living room was still set up for having guests and not for me to be able to exercise, so I didn't do anything but walking for five days [busted Balance Board and also laziness] and yesterday [I was so stuffed my stomach cried at the thought], yeah, I can see why. I kinda winced and went, "Yeah, yeah, I get it. No more slacking off."

    So to make up for it, I made sure to put in 275 calories, since that seemed to be the magic number. I have to get back in the exercising habit, so I have to make things enjoyable. So I did the step dance thing, and the "rhythm king fu" thing and the marching band thing, and the obstacle course thing (I WAS SO CLOSE *sob*).

    Then for shits and giggles, I did the "cycling" game, and unlocked the longer course. And went, "Heh, let's try that!"

    OMFG MISTAAAAKE~. )

    Squeenix just put out the last FF13 trailer. I'd embed, but they're being "no embed!" jerks, so here's a link to the FF13 website, and you can watch it there.

    ...Yun Fang is going in my party at all times once I have her as a member. Because she is awesome.

    You can also see the new Cid, and OMFG HAAAAWT. *drool* (trust me, watch the trailer; the screencaps do nothing.)

    Wii Fit Challenge~: Yay, new balance board!
    Time spent: 36 min
    Calories burned: 161
    Current BMI: 29.2

    I have a new balance board! And it works wonderfully! This makes me happy.

    Today was the first "Getting back to basics" day, and OMFG, I can feel such a difference doing exercise-exercise instead of "fat burning" exercise.

    Mainly in that I am sore. I am very, very sore. My inner thighs are mutinying, and when the game suggested I could now do 30 jackknifes instead of 20, I went, out loud, no joke, "Oh HELL no!" Twenty is still pushing it and my abdominal muscles hate me.

    Also, the game lies like a lying thing. I did the obstacle course thing and was nearly done, and apparently I jumped for real (I was mid-run when a log came at me). This makes the game force quit, admonish you, and start over. And when you start over, it does not count all the calories you burned before. So the "calories burned" is a lie. Bastard. I was SO CLOSE to beating the game; I will make it my bitch, oh yes. XD

    I am sweaty and gross and when the game said, "If you feel tired, it's important to rest!" I took it as a sign. So the water for my bath is running, and once this is done I will go slouch in the bath and let my stress melt away. And hopefully some of the OW PAIN OW from actual exercise will melt away with it.

    Sad, yo. But also LOL.
    If y'all haven't seen this, well, apparently Microsoft is ripping off Apple and opening "Microsoft Stores." The stores look, well...like a ripped-off Apple Store, and the ubercool Apple Store in Shinsaibashi laughs in it's face.

    Anyone, some astroturf blogger just happened to have a camcorder with him the day he just happened to go to the Microsoft Store, and on a day when the staff just happened to break out into a completely unplanned and unchoreographed 4-plus-minute line dance to a Black Eyed Peas song.

    Yeah, this dude wasn't getting paid. Suuure. And was a hardcore Mac guy until his life changing trip to the magical land of singing and dancing techies at the Microsoft Store. Riiiiiight. (We'll just ignore all the talk on being a Vista beta tester on a link ON THE SAME PAGE).

    Really, all that needs to be said about this sad spectacle is said at minute 2:14 of the video. Watch the woman in the white shirt veeeeery carefully. She says it all, really.
