I’m currently typing this on Grandpa Black’s new PowerBook. It’s a 15″ and it looks quite nice. Just like Sarah’s. So what’s been happening since I last wrote:
- I quit the South Beach Diet, Sarah followed nearly immediately (Mimi’s Cafe did her in)
- The job search is still just a search, though I’ve got a response from a staffing firm in Glendale, so maybe I’ll check that out while I’m in the area
- Porting Ruby to JavaScript is not that fun because of all the language and library features that JavaScript lacks
Day 1 of the South Beach Diet, which Sarah is making me go on with her. It seems to me that the diet is an attempt to remove all the “processed” junk from food (like the white flour and bread that is totally uniform) while allowing other things which, IMO, are worse (like Splenda and other sugar substitutes). I suppose the proof is in the practice of it, so we’ll see how the first two weeks (the strict Phase 1) go. All the same, going without fruit for two weeks is going to suck.
Day 1:
- Breakfast: none
- Lunch: salad w/balsamic, bacon bits, no crutons
- Afternoon snack: bread sticks from Olive Garden (bad)
- Later afternoon snack: leftovers from PF Chang’s, the beef with carrot slices (mildly bad) and some other veggie
- Dinner: artichoke dip, but with celery instead of chips
