OK. For those that care (which I assume is all of you ^_^ ), I'm feeling much better. I made some changes to my diet by cutting way, way down on sugar and starch, increased my whole-grain intake, and brought some vitamin supplements into the equation. I feel less tired and more creative. Still feel "detached" a lot of the time, but that could just be my job. I quality check data entry for a living. The world cannot envision a more boring line of work. Feelings of unreality are probably part of the job description, maybe even good for me in this case. It could well be that my mind is defending itself; if I allowed myself to believe that "this is real" while I'm at my desk, I'd probably go insane on the spot.
As for weight loss, the extra pounds still refuse to budge. Somewhat frustrating; all told I eat about... oh, I'ma say maybe 1550 calories max a day. That's right in the "ideal band" for weight loss, as I understand it, but nothing's happening at all. I've been doing it for about three weeks and I'm still *exactly* the same weight I was when I started.
Troublesome.
Somewhat disenchanted with video games at the moment, particularly MMOs. It's strange; I'm too excited about stuff on the horizon to care overmuch about the games that are out now. Pirates of the Burning Sea was fun but no one wanted to play it but me (and I mean that in a worldwide sense, not just my friends; those servers are ghost towns), and my old haunts such as World of Warcraft, FFXI, and EverQuest have seemed to cease their respective siren's songs, at least in my direction. City of Heroes remains a fun passtime, but I find myself impatient to get to the "meat" of the game. It apparently has amazing quests and storylines, but I can't seem to find them anywhere.
EQ2 is all right, might have even scored huge with me if it wasn't identical to World of Warcraft gameplay-wise.
So, once I finish Symphony of the Night, I might hang up the games altogether for a while. Let the wife have a shot at the TV while I read my recent book purchases. Swung by Barnes & Noble last night and picked up the following:
* A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
* Dracula by Bram Stoker
* The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
Those were the three that called to me. Those, and the various books located back in the Kama Sutra section. <.< Didn't pick up any of those though.
Anyway, back to the grindstone. One day this grindstone and I are going to have a reckoning, and it won't be pretty when it happens.

I've always said: if you need a book to have good sex, you're doing it wrong. *snort*
Sure, I can take over the TV. Or I can read too, though I'm an inveterate bathroom reader. I'll probably play ES, then FFT.
You've been wonderful lately. The story you invented for Xia blew me away! You should write graphic novels. I'll bet Anne could illustrate. You two could make millions.
We'll work on your weight. if you'd get down to the office to replace our scan card, you could add another layer to your efforts with some weight training. I know they're under there! I feel them twitching. ;)
You're cuteness in a handbasket. I haven't said that in years!
