Cleaning (Virtual) House
So I've been trying to pay some attention to this blog, or rather, I've been meaning to try to pay some attention to this blog, but it just hasn't been happening.
Why?
Well, I could say it's because I've been so busy that I - but I can't even finish that sentence with a straight face, and you know the truth - or lack thereof - of such a statement as well as I do.
Mainly I haven't been paying much attention to this blog just because I haven't been paying much attention to this blog.
It's pretty much that simple.
Still, here a few updates to kind of "clean house" and tell myself that I've paid sufficient attention to this blog for the time being.
First up, I bought a new TV:
It's a 55" Samsung LED, and is only 1.2" thick.
The thing is awesome.
In addition to having an amazing picture, it's got all kinds of gee-whiz features, like Internet-enabled widgets that let me watch YouTube videos directly on it, and it has a USB port that I can use to connect a drive to it in order to play music, videos, and pictures, and I can even - in theory; haven't gotten it to work yet - stream them from one of the computers on my network.
I haven't used those features that much, though, as that's kind of the point of the home theater PC I just bought a few weeks ago.
*****
Besides major electronics, I've also been spending a lot of money on food lately, though I'm actually eating much less than what I used to eat. Eating healthy is expensive (and time-consuming). And of course I'm probably not eating enough, so my body is going into starvation mode and storing everything as fat and throwing my blood sugar out of whack - sometimes I'm convinced that my body has found a way to turn air into sugar - so I haven't been losing as much weight as I would like and my sugar levels are wildly inconsistent.
On the other hand, now that the snow is gone, I've been doing some walking and have found that it has a major positive (or negative, depending on how you look at it, since the numbers go down) impact on my sugar.
I've even started taking the stairs at work, which has been much more painful and exhausting than it really ought to be.
*****
Within the next couple of weeks I plan to introduce a newregular feature here at Threshold, one which I hope everyone will find entertaining and enlightening.

And that's it for now.

Checking In
Not much new or exciting has gone on since last I posted, but that pretty much goes without saying.
After two nights of wearing my new, looser-fitting lenses, things are looking pretty good (no pun intended). Vision is getting clear, there’s no pain, and while I don’t share The Dazzler’s ability to stare directly at the sun without damaging my eyes (though I’m not a cheesy character created in a too-late attempt to cash in on the disco craze, so I’m one up on her in that regard), I can at least bear to be exposed to the light of day.
Whether or not I should be exposed to the light of day is another matter entirely.
As I got back to my desk after my third meeting of the day – a meeting that ran a half an hour longer than scheduled – I was pleased to see that my fourth meeting of the day had been rescheduled for tomorrow at 10.
After accepting the meeting invitation I realized that it conflicted with one of my weekly conference calls, and I wondered why it was that Outlook hadn’t informed me of that. As I took a drink of water I figured out why there was no warning of a conflict, and it’s a good thing that my mouth was full of water, as otherwise some of the more sensitive ears in the area around me might have been assaulted by a profanity as I realized that tomorrow is only Wednesday, not Thursday.
Two days in and it’s already been a long week…
At least tomorrow is new comics day, though I’m not sure what’s on the shelves (apart from Countdown to Final Crisis, of course), so I don’t know if it’s going to be a good week or not. I’m suspecting not, given how good last week was.
I finally have all the paperwork I need to get my taxes done gathered together, so now it’s just a matter of hauling my lazy ass in and getting them done. I’m thinking Thursday, as Thursday is payday.
And that’s pretty much the extent of what I have/have the energy to write about, so I’ll bring this entry to a close.
