As of today I have done more than seven thousand push ups in the course of this ridiculous project. So that's something.

I tried to watch Small Worlds, but it didn't want to be watched. So I gave up.

Really? Really?!? After such a good story as Ghost Machine, this is how you follow it up? The only good news is that I never have to watch this tripe again.

...and then, in a shocking turn of events, a genuinely good episode of Torchwood!

I gotta tell ya, I don't remember disliking Torchwood so much when it first aired. I dearly hope that my memory of it getting better is true, because otherwise... ugh.

A bit of an update to my Time  Treadmill custom software, a wee bit of data entry, and now I am rolling with the first major Doctor Who spinoff, Torchwood. It's kind of like Doctor Who except with blood and profanity and sex. In other words, not like Doctor Who at all. I'll be watching it for the next two months or so.

It's late, I'm drunk. Let's get this done.

Yeah, I don't feel like writing anything today. But I did work out and watch Doctor Who.

Short post today. I rewatched the last part of Genesis of the Daleks on BluRay and learned a new story. Wanna hear it?

I gotta say, having finished Phase One of this ridiculous project and being well over a year-and-a-half into it, I am definitely battling against gaining weight back. Which, on one level this has never been specifically about weight, but it remains a good gross indicator. For the first six months it was a pretty steady progression, from nearly 310 lbs down to about 260 lbs. From there it became more difficult to keep the momentum, but I still got down to nearly 240 lbs. Then, as you can see from looking at the graph on the sidebar (which I keep there and public in order to keep myself honest and motivated), I started moving back in the other direction. Some of that, I tell myself, came from putting on muscle mass when I started adding push-ups to my routine. This past six months I have floated back and forth between a little over 240 and a little over 250. Don't get me wrong, I am proud of what I have accomplished, there is a non-trivial part of me that is vain enough to say I really want to break that 240 barrier. I am also vain enough to say that, for some reason, I really want to get down to a 38" waist (I started at 46 or even 48, and I am currently down to 40). So how am I going to get there?
