Vacation and Video

Posted on by

2 weeks of holidays at the cottage, with only 2 hours or so of rain during the day.  Talk about lucky.  I’m back at work now but seem to be suffering mild insomnia, so let’s hope this passes soon!

Now for a leaked vid from Starcraft 2.

Summer Time

Posted on by

Been a while since the last post.  A lot going on mind you.

  • Turned 30
  • Played about 15 rounds of golf
  • Headed camping
  • Built a new garden
  • Got a new AC installed
  • Planned a new landscape
  • Got rained on for what seems like 3 weeks

On top of all that, I’m in the 3rd Phase of P90X.  I hit the scale today about 10 times in a row thinking the damn thing was busted but I lost 4lbs in the last week.  More than that single number, I can feel it everywhere.  Clothes fit better, the programs are not so much easier but I can do more in them with more intensity.  Belt notches are being used that haven’t been used in over 10 years.  Wife seems to notice as well, so that’s a bonus.

The plan is to hit 190 before hockey starts near the end of September.  Heck, even if I started playing now I’d be faster and stronger but there’s something about having a target that pushes you harder.  Am I on pace?  Well, the first few months were less about losing weight and more about getting into shape, building the muscle needed to burn calories just sitting down.  I’ve got most of that done now and I’ve yet to change my caloric intake from what I had almost 3 months ago.  Basically I’m burning about 20% more calories in a day with the same intake, so the weight is going to come off a bit faster for the next few weeks.  By the end of August, I’ll re-adjust my diet to increase the carb/calorie proportions to reduce the weight loss and increase the endurance/muscle gain.  Feels great!

And on a completely disrespectful note:

– A woman asks: The next time my boyfriend asks me to make him a sandwhich, what would be a great comeback?

The Last Guardian

Posted on by

First off, note to everyone who doesn’t already know but I LOVE Shadow of the Colossus. It is one of the best games ever made. There, I said it.

The Last Guardian is made by the same company, with an aim to focus on the relationship between man and beast, similar to Agro and the Boy in SotC. The thing about this game is that you know one of the two has to die at the end. And that makes me sad.
