Breaking The Chains

OK so it has been a few days since I have posted something and I have done it.  I finally broke free of Facebook it was a nightmare actually.  I did not realize how many websites that I had registered with and when given the option to either create a login or to just use Facebook I just clicked on log in with Facebook.  So needless to say it took me all morning to go through all of those websites and change they way I log in to them.  So now it looks like I am free and clear of the Facebook.  I just got to the point where it was more of a hassle to block content from the site than it was worth, also most of the important people that I care about what they have to say I have on text.

So tonight I am going to try to make some more progress on Mass Effect 3 but I think we all know that most likely I am going to sit on my couch put Primeval on Netflix and read that is most likely what I am going to end up doing with this evening since the lady is working this evening.  Though I do have one thing on my list of must accomplish.

Fast forward to the next day.

OK so guess what I did last night?  You guessed it I watched Primeval.  I did managed to complete one quest in ME3 so I kind of did what I was planning on doing.  I also managed to watch the first episode of Primeval New World and the last episode.  I only really watched it because of Andrew Lee Potts being in both to kind of tie together the original series with the attempt at a spin off.  It was meh.  I am a purist I guess and couldn't really get into it.  I did however like Connor saying that he had a wife and wanted to see her again because that at least gave us a touch of where we were left hanging when the original series was cancelled.

That brings me to this video by Swoozie   Diary of a TV Addict and it is exactly how I feel.  I mean I don't mind my shows being cancelled but I do wish they would give me a couple episodes of closure just to tie up the loose ends.   I mean Primeval was a perfect example SPOILERS!!!!!!!----------------you end off with another version of Matt telling our Matt that he needs to go back....  How can you leave me hanging like that.  I mean the series Angel did the same damn thing.........  Like Swoozie said man just give me three of four episodes to tie up the loose ends.... That is all I want.  Primeval hasn't been off the air that long I mean when you think about it the time between series of Sherlock is as long as Primeval has been cancelled just give me a couple episodes.  Show me Connor and Abby's wedding.  Show me Matt finally getting things all sorted out and being able to be happy.  That is all that I want....

That rant and this utter train-wreck of a blog post is finally done.

The girl and the Mine.

Well it is Saturday just any other Saturday nothing really exciting going on except for oh yeah I got my girlfriend utterly hooked on Minecraft.  She always complained about my obsession.  She never understood how I could play it all the time and how I could play it so much and how I could enjoy watching people play the game.  Well today she told me she wanted to try playing it with me on the xbox.  I haven't played that version in forever pretty much just been playing on the PC, anyway she decided she wanted to try it and after about three hours I had to get up and move on to something else but she just kept on playing it was pretty freaking hilarious actually.  At least now she understands the obsession.  Well actually it isn't as much of an obsession to me any more than it use to be but still.

So over the last few days I have been complaining about my hands getting cold and how I needed to still be able to use all my fingers and what not so I needed some nice fingerless gloves well today I got some nice new Jack Skellington ones.  I just wanted straight black but these are pretty darn nice.  

On the diet front I am doing a very good job.  I have been pretty successful when it comes to trying to eat Vegan I discovered that the cheese I am eating still has milk protein in it but for a start I think it is pretty impressive.  Also I have found that I get full a lot faster and stay full longer which is freaking great.   Well I am going to sit down and watch some more Primeval  until the GF is done with work.  It seems I cant get through a single day without watching some.

Delicate Grip On Reality.

OK so I think I am starting to lose grip on reality again.  It happens from time to time.  It seems to happen mostly when I either find a great series of books to read and the series is over or I find a great TV series to watch and the same thing happens where it is over.   I tend to overly lose myself in the world that the writers of the books or shows create and it becomes more real to me than the physical world that I can touch.  The last time it really happened badly was when I got hooked on the Special Agent Pendergast books by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.  Now I currently think it is because of the Primeval situation that has pretty much taken up ever free part of my mine that isn't devoted to breathing and eating.  Though I do think it might have taken over some of the eating parts.  Which is not a bad thing.

So I decided that I do what to go Vegan there is one down side.  I currently have a good chunk of food that is not vegan but is vegetarian and in todays economy people cant afford to throw away food so I am going to have to wait until these couple of cans of tomato soup are gone and these cheese ramen instant lunches that I have floating around.

I know there are probably people out there saying "No if you really want to go Vegan you need to get rid of all that stuff now."  Well I have to support my family and this food cost money while yes it didn't cost a lot of money, the ramen was on 39 cents a thing, it still cost money that I don't have a lot of. Plus I am not doing this for a moral reason.  I am a big supporter of people eating meat though I don't agree with how a lot of meat is processed and the animals are treated.  I do think that eating meat is just fine.

Well I guess I should pretend to work.

Veggie or Vegan with Alice and a Breaking Dawn.

So I have been looking at ways to make me feel better about myself as well as just feeling better in general.  So I am going down the road of Vegetarian again.  There was a time when I went two years without eating meat and I honestly felt so good both emotionally and physically and it was only because my daughters mother that I gave up on it and started eating meat again.  Oh and on a side note finally my divorce has been finalized.  Well I felt so good when I wasn't eating meat it made me wonder why I am not doing that again.  I would like to eventually go full on Vegan but honestly I don't know if I can give up cheese.  It might be a good thing for me to do because it does seem that dairy products tend to not agree with me from time to time.  So that is my goal also the probiotics seem to still be working pretty well.  I know that it is only been three days but as a person that spends much time with stomach pain the last couple of days free of it has been great.

So last night I was able to sit down and watch the Alice mini series with Andrew-Lee Potts and it was pretty darn good.  I am a big fan of different twists on classic stories and I really felt that it was a pretty interesting story.  It did get corny in a lot of spots but in all honesty the best kind of scifi stories are chock full of corny.  I love it.

I also sat down and watched the last Twilight movie and well lets start with what was really bad the special effects were horrible but the acting was probably the best in the series.  Though it was carried by Michael Sheen as Aro.  That man can just straight up act no matter how bad the lines are he can some how make it seem worth it.  He does such a great job of carrying the role of being totally power drunk but yet also giddy in a childlike manor.  He was definitely the highlight of the movie for me.  I have read all the bucks and I did have to suffer through them mostly because with these books usually the first half of each of the books would be so slow but then like the last ten chapters would be just utterly fast paced and would somewhat make up for it.  I was lucky to have forgotten about most of the end of the book so I was able to be surprised a little bit.  For fans of the romantic vampire stuff that has been so popular now it is well worth the watch well those people don't really need my recommendation because they will have already seen it.

I am trying to decide what movie I want to watch this evening but most likely I am just going to watch the latest Bones on Hulu and then start watching Primeval starting with Series 1 Episode 1 yet again.  Either way I wont be complaining.  Though I probably should play some more Mass Effect 3 this evening.

Blessed Be,

Probiotics and Primeval

OK so to start this off I am giving Probiotics another try.  I am prone to stomach issues and I had tried to take probiotics a year ago and it so happened to have coincided with me getting a horrible bought of sour stomach.  I don't know exactly what the sour stomach is but that is what I call it.  What happens is I get massive stomach pain and then when I burp honestly it smells like raw sewage.  Well my mind instantly associated the probiotics with the stomach issue.  Well over the last year I have gotten the issue one other time and there was no probiotics involved so I was finally able to get myself away from thinking that was the problem.   Well even just after two days I was able to start to feel a difference in the way my stomach was feeling so I am going to stick with it.  I take the probiotics twice a day so I will see how it goes.  I also learned that it can help make your hair grow which is cool cause I want to grow my hair long.

On to the second part of my post today.  OK so I have a habit of finding great TV shows after they have been cancelled and last week I discovered Primeval a show than ran for 5 series (in the UK for some reason they call season series)  I fell in love with this show after just one episode and over the last week watched all 5 series.  Bare in mind they are the usual BBC length where the series is actually like between 7 and 9 episodes a piece but I was hooked.   I loved it so much I am actually starting over again .  Honestly the best television I have found to watch is Doctor Who, Sherlock (which kills me with its incredible amount of time between series) and Primeval (sadly no longer making new episodes)  All these shows are BBC shows. That cannot be a coincidence.

Well I am done for right now going to try to write another blog tonight about my new diet regime.
