Twice as much progress as yesterday
I made twice as much progress as I did yesterday, today:
I had vague ideas of doing some writing, given that roleplaying was cancelled, but I made the mistake of grabbing some dinner from the Thai restaurant next to the Video Ezy store, which has released “Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” a day early. Or possibly earlier, I’m not sure.
Two Towers
 | I watched through a bunch of the extra features, and it was all good and jolly. Sean Astin’s short film, which I’d been looking forward to, was a fair bit simpler than I had thought, and very reminiscent of tropfest fare – actually pretty encouraging to watch. If it had been brilliant, I’d have been exceedingly jealous. |
The documentary about the making of Sean Astin’s film was very funny, though.
I had also been debating about whether to watch the “Return of the King” preview or not, and in the face of having it right there, gave in. Of course. It wasn’t overwhelming – more a gawk at a work in progress than a showreel designed to impress – but there were a couple of acting moments that I really liked.
Sugar
No sugar! Bad! Today is a no-sugar day. The vast quantities of food consumed over the weekend finally caught up with me – I just squeezed in under 86 kg on Monday morning, but not today… it’ll probably be a struggle over the rest of the week to get back under. I’m thinking… maybe I should push the target down to 85kg. Dad’s at 82kg and has a similar build and height, and it obviously isn’t doing him any harm – mind you, he’s ridiculously fit and does far more exercise than I do. Mebbe if I walked to work tomorrow.
