Hungry like the wolf

Note: It was requested that I call the last storm front "Snotorious B.I.G." but I haven't been given a tag for this front yet. That is, apparently, largely because people failed to realize that it would be as big as it turned out. Thus, I am calling it Biggie Smalls.

So far, this is day two of the "Holy God FATS" diet. Yesterday I ended up with 15 grams of fat, the exact count I have now forgotten, but which included half a tablespoon of peanut butter as a reward after I made it through the day on only 10g. (Oh, the unfortunate Kirby's incident.)

Today, after packing my lunch (before I found out that Biggie Smalls had turned this into a snow day), I'm at 3g of fat out of 20g. Which I have to say is pretty surprising. So long as I'm very careful about what gets eaten, and I don't let myself get caught by surprise, and I'm careful about being around food that tests my willpower (of which I have none), then this should not be as difficult as I had feared.

Breakfast
.5g for a yogurt*
0g for an apple
.5g for another yogurt* when I realized that I was still hungry

Lunch
1g for two slices of bread
1g for two servings of tinned tuna* in water
0g for baby carrots in vinegar
0g for two applesauce thingies

Lunch will probably go in two servings--elevensies and then a smackerel.

*Amanda recommended that even animal products marked 0g fat for a serving should be counted as .5g because it is made from animal and thus likely contains some fat.

This is a picture that's been going around the Facebooks. It's another 'missed the point' tattoo. I think you're gonna like it.

Dragon Age--Snow Day!

My last DA entry, back in November, started out So it had been quite a while, and while I could figure out how to move myself around the screen, I'd really pretty much forgotten what the hell I was doing.

Which is pretty much how this one starts too. Luckily, I'm at a point where the game takes you by the nose and leads you around. I started out at the far end of the Grail quest--all I had left to do was take off all my clothes and jump into a fire, and the Holy Guardian says "Dude! You're crazy enough to be a religious zealot! Have some Sacred Ashes!"

I snuck back through the Valley of the Shadow of Death without waking the dragon, and then ambled around town until I could find the way out. People of Haven cursed me for killing everybody in town, but did not in fact step up, so I went back to camp and did maintenance before heading back to Redcliffe. Everybody levelled up at least once, and Morrigan became an Arcane Warrior. Which comes into play later.

Because apparently I'd forgotten to finish the 'kid possessed by a demon' quest, and so I got to send in Morrigan, heavily armed and armored, to put down the demon girl. Which was pretty easy, especially with superbear form. And then there was the Longest Cut Scene In the World. We had a funeral, talked about Connor, fixed Eamon, talked about Eamon, talked about Loghain, talked about a Landsmeet, talked about Alastair, talked about other options, talked about a Landsmeet again, talked about Jowan.... By then, my mouse clicking finger was cramping up, so thank the Maker they turned me loose at that point and gave me a second mission to go talk to the Dwarfs to go along with my first one.
