I talked about before how saving posts doesn't work, I had this one planned for Sunday (yesterday), but it didn't work out as usual. It was supposed to be a triumph, instead it marks the beginning of a new struggle. As a person with no will power, I did something daring last week, I went on a diet. I've tried this before once or twice and never could last longer than a day and a half, this time I went the whole week. Well except for Sunday, but that's only because I wanted one day off in between and I thought it would be practical to start again today. All the same, I'm very proud of myself for staying with it, there really was very little no prior evidence to suggest that I would could.

You see, about ~3 years ago I was in good physical shape, and about 73kg. Then I decided to move out and live in student housing for a while, just to see what it was like to not live at home. The very experience was nothing out of the ordinary, but being a lousy cook, I would cook too much food and then overeat like everyday. That's how I gained 5kg in 4 months. I lost track of when exactly I gained the rest, but for a while now I've been 84kg, which is clearly too much. Today I'm 82kg and even if I don't go back to my original weight, I'll be happy to lose whatever I can get the next week or two before I embark upon a voyage (more on that later).

I guess I registered on www.inter.it at some point, could have been to watch their video clips or something, I don't remember at all. Obviously, when I register for bs sites, I give them bs info. But it seems that inter.it goes the extra mile to make their members feel special and today I got an unexpected surprise:

Sorry, that's just my policy..

So here I am, freezing in my room, it's 11 degrees ffs. Got home from a satisfying holiday 6h ago and it's almost 2006. In the 11th hour I put the finishing touches on a comfy little project I invented for myself, which I think will prove quite useful with time: galleryforge. Was going to throw up a project page for it but I can't be bothered, point is the code is tested and works.

Well then, 2005 has been good to me, New Year's is a complete waste of time and I don't plan to honor it but tune in the same time tomorrow and the show is back on the air.

Oh and today's news: Utrecht awaits me with an apartment ready. :party:
