The Times August 6, 1998:  Why it always rains at weekends BYLINE: Nigel Hawkes, Science Editor WHY does it always rain at the weekend, only to brighten up as soon as Monday dawns? Two American scientists say that it is all our own fault. Man-made pollution, which reaches a peak in urban areas late in the week...

I can't seem to find the whole article, but I think you get the point.  I'm sure you've even heard that one before.

I'm only doing a half-ass job at the low carb thing.  I do fine for breakfast and lunch, but at dinner, all bets are off.  It's not cravings -- I enjoy the low carb stuff I eat.  The problem is that I can't deal with preparing everything I eat, and I don't like having only odd choices or no choices when eating out.  

This is more or less the same reason why I am not a vegan or a macrobiotic or a fruitarian or any of that  crazy shit (of that list, I've only tried being a vegan.  Macro is appealing, raw foodism is not).  It's hard enough eating out as a vegetarian (and I'm not even a good vegetarian!).  Trying to fight the low-fat high-carb tide just makes it much harder.  So, I'm going to stick with it when I can and accept that I am not perfect.

This represents a major step for me.  Usually, I have to be an all or nothing person.

OK, it's 78' outside and the heat just came on at work.  What the fuck?

Do I have anything useful to say?  Probably not.  Life at work is boring.  Life not-at-work is only mildly interesting, at best.  I'm not complaining, but I'm not off having adventures either.

I went to a party on Saturday, and it was fun, but that's not really a news flash, now is it?  I'm thinking about undertaking a project, but I'm not willing to discuss it here, lest it look like a committment or something.  Gee, the more I talk about this, the more I think I need a hiatus from this until I feel like my life is worth writing about again.
