What Ive done and What to Do

1/4 still asleep, the sunrise tickling my irises, when i have no qualms about looking directly into the sun.

Trying to remember what Ive done this week. Um.
Beat Fallout 3. Its no where near finished tho, theres still about 10 more quests I can unlock but i just got tired of it. A 100+ hour gameplay game is awesome, but exhausting. I just wanted it done already.
Oh well, leaves some interesting things to do if I ever replay it.

Finger is pretty much healed.

Started logging everything I eat and how much I exercise each day at www.prevention.com/healthtracker
I think it will help alot, tho I have a number of suggestions for the tool to make it better that I emailed to them. Such as, they have graphs to show your balance of foods, but it only includes carbs, protein, fat, and alcohol. Wheres the fruits and veggies? Stuff like that irks me, but otherwise it will be useful if i keep it up. Yesterday I even noticed myself looking at it saying "ok so Ive already ate 1100 calories .. technically I can have 1000 more. I really crave pizza.... (I then went and ordered one with dominoes to go pick up in alamosa in an hour, thankfully I didnt pay with my credit card because after realizing how many calories and stuff pizza has, I decided against it and never showed up to pick it up.) It just wasnt worth the taste for the health cost. Im still craving a nice fat greasy slice of brooklyn style tho. So I might still get it sometime soon, but it will be a small pizza and ill have to freeze all but a couple slices and divvy it out over a few days or weeks.

Setup PlayOn, a service which runs on your computer and broadcasts to your xbox, ps3, and any tvs that can recieve the signal. It lets you watch youtube, CNN, CBS, Hulu (which has most of any TV show you could want to watch), etc. Its pretty neat. Even tho I can watch all that stuff on my computer anyways, it seems more interesting and more fun on there. Its free for 2 weeks then there is a one time $30 fee to use it forever. Im not sure if Ill go for it. I want to, but I certainly dont need it. And Ive got to save money.

I went to the BARC meeting (antoinito Beautification and Restoration Committee), and once I was able to sneak a word in, everyone got really psyched about my ideas. I suggested local and recycled materials, like pulling tires out of the river which cleans up the environment, and then using them as planters to put native shrubs in around the plaza, with little signs saying their traditional native american and hispanic medicinal uses, etc. Doing things like that will help reduce the cost significantly, be easier to find a grant for (they love the sustainable stuff), be unique and creative, environmentally friendly, promote the local culture, etc.
Wow the whole room exploded in excitement with that idea. I felt good, important.
I also volunteered to show up to all the county comissioners and town hall meetings, and take notes to share with the group on a brief rundown on whats going on.'

Roshi and Pazu are driving me nuts. They are doing great, roshi still needs worm medication and a bath tho but otherwise is happy and healthy. Hes stolen Pazu's spot on the bed, so I have to make sure to give Pazu lots of individual attention. They chase each other and play fight most of the day .. and night. Ive got to lock them out of my room now at night because it just keeps waking me up.

I think thats about all I did this week. It sounds like more than it is. I have no idea where 3 days went or if I even did anything at all.

In general my mood is stable. Im not depressed, pretty happy overall. Slightly sick, but thats winter.
