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.

Sriracha and Chickpea Burger

So for lunch today I tried some Sriracha.  I have been wanting to pick some up for a very long time and finally got around to buying some.  So for lunch I had a Chickpea burger with some vegan pepper-jack "cheese" with no bun and some sriracha to dip it in and I do have to say I was impressed.  I was expecting something much hotter than what it was.  It is definitely going to be a staple of my diet from now on.  This is how I roll I am always looking for a new hot sauce to put on everything.  It seems I just cant get enough of hot sauce.  Now while the hot sauce was great and the vegan cheese was good as always the chickpea burger patty was good but has an odd aftertaste that I am not really sure about yet.

So last night I had planned on playing some Mass Effect 3 but ended up going out to buy an awesome new hat.  By the time I got home it was time for Archer to come on and that is my Thursday to not miss show.  I really wish I had more to say right now but I think I am going to try to do a week in review blog tonight.  This is probably a cake, but hey we can try.

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,
