BigSean’s FatBlog

This is just a test of posting from the iPhone.

It’s difficult to type lime this because the screen isn’t reflecting what I’m saying

Weighed in today: 332 pounds and change.

I’ve not abandoned the blog. I’ve been extended away and will be back to blogging again in a day or two.

Happy birthday to me. I’m 39 today.

I had a great weekend watching movies with a friend who goes way back to college. 28 Weeks Later, Resident Evil, and other zombie movies. We didn’t get Shawn of the Dead, unfortunately, ’cause it’s awesome.

Joe took me to lunch for chicken fajitas and we traded. He got two 500GB USB hard drives and I got a PS2 with a bunch of games.

I bought a few birthday presents for myself. I’ve upgraded my monitor to a 24″ Gateway (of all things) that does HDCP, HDMI, and a bunch of other acronyms. It’s a glossy screen, which I’ve become fond of and has plenty of inputs, pivots, and so on. I also got a 5.1 inexpensive speaker set for $104 and consolidated my data needs into a 931GB SATA disk drive. I still have an external notebook drive to clone my laptop drive and a 465GB firewire 800 drive for other scratch data.

Loot!

Thank you to all who have served our country in the armed forces and the sacrifices of life, limb, mind, body, and spirit that you have made to preserve and defend the republic.

May our nation honor its lifelong debt to your service.

Had dinner tonight with my friend Loyd who is visiting for Memorial Day weekend. We went to Shogun, a Japanese restaurant, in Shreveport, Louisiana. I had stir fried veggies, fried rice, teriyaki filet mignon and chicken. Also tried a bit of sake, but didn’t care for the Mai Tai - it was waaaay too strong.

Tired in Mobile, Alabama. Lot of great photos and audio clips from hurricane recovery grant recipients.

Been eating crap, though. Sugar and whatnot.

I’m on the road for a week due to work. I’ll be taking photos and recording interviews with folks who have rebuilt after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita all along the Gulf coast. I won’t be able to post much due to limited connectivity and the long days, but I’ll do what I can.

The blog is back up after a few days. I had to reinstall WordPress after a minor IT disaster.
