Catwoman is on AMC right now. I didn’t know the name “American Movie Classics” was supposed to be ironic.

People say it is a lifestyle and not just a diet. In that case, I hate my lifestyle.

For anyone who didn’t know me, I used to weigh about 310lbs. I know, I know. I was adorable. I’ve posted the picture before, but I’ll drag it out again for laughs:

It appeared as if the old me got a time machine, went into the future, and devoured the new me. You can’t really see it, but he’s also wearing a cool polyester print shirt. The new smaller me is wearing a hoodie from Wal-mart, so they are clearly the same person with no comprehension of style.

That skinnier me was 185lbs. For my build, that is actually pretty small. I’m tall, have a large frame, and my bones are made of heavy rocks. My head is also enormous and accounts for 40% of my gross body weight. I have long since rebounded about 30lbs and maintained that weight without much trouble. I’m not a mess of ham and snausages, but I could certainly stand to lose some weight for my health.

Now that my thesis is completed and I practically have a Masters Degree in Fine Art, I need some new thing in my life to stress about besides work. That new thing will be my weight! HUZZAH!

I lost weight before using stolen information from the Weight Watcher’s points program. My mom did the program for real, and I just read her material and did it on my own. I’ll be trying this again to start, and maybe trying some newer different stuff later. I will be exercising by jogging. Maggie is trying to talk me into weights, but I hate weights. I may try the stupid Wii Sports workout since I own Wii Sports and haven’t played it in two months despite it being totally wicked awesome.

I’ll be starting the diet on June 2nd, and I’ll be posting updates about it as things progress.

I’m pretty sure the thesis is all wrapped up, and I don’t have to worry about that ever again. I’m still trying to find out how long it actually takes to physically receive my Masters of Fine Art degree, but I “have” it now or in just a few days when the current semester wraps up and grades are processed. I’ll feel better about it once I see it in writing in an official letter or my actual degree.

Today is Maggie’s last day at work, and she’ll be moving here early next week. Very exciting. We both then have to move somewhere else in a month. That is less exciting. My apartment complex is pretty lame, and the timing of the lease just worked out this way.

I’m still pitching some stuff around in hopes someone will pay this monkey to dance. One contract thing has been settled, and it looks like I’ll have a little something to tell you about new animation in a couple of weeks.

Here is a pug falling asleep:
