Is she crazy?!

713
My sister, Tiffany, is in town from Austin this weekend. We went out to eat tonight and got on the topic of dieting and losing weight and she asks me--ME!--if I am still eating candy. I give a ridiculous look and in an "are you kidding me" tone I tell her "Yes, of course! I can't believe you even have to ask that!"

So here's the thing--I love candy. I have always loved candy, particularly fruity candy. Heck, one year for Valentine's Day BJ shows up with tons of candy--and my favorite stuff too--and I was so happy and loved him. I have to say, if given the choice I will decline one of women's best friends, chocolate, and go for the fruity stuff like Starburst or Sour Straws. This same sister has even teased me (very seriously though) that I will make myself diabetic form all the candy I eat. I must admit though, in my quest to lose some weight, any weight, I have cut back quite a bit on my passion.

My mom has told me of my first 'real' Halloween and this is how it went:

I was almost 2 1/2 years old and she took us out to Trick or Treat. She says when I realized what trick or treating was about I starting RUNNING from house to house. I ended up eating so much candy that same night that I proceeded to vomit multiple times the rest of the evening....at the Italian Restaurant she took us girls to, the car.......Now you would think I would learn my lesson, but like a drunk who binges, barfs and gets that nasty hangover, I will eat candy until barfing or feeling sick and wouldn't mind eating it the very next day. In fact, I have eaten so many sour belts in one night that my tongue and lips were in pain and my mouth bled when I brushed my teeth. Now THAT is commitment----commitment to the cause of CANDY!!!!!!

So don't anyone ever ask me if I am still eating candy. That is a stupid question that makes no sense to ask me. I will be eating candy until the day I die!

    LOL I love it, you do what makes u happy! And besides, sour belts are amazing. I once ate so many war heads that it literally ate a hole in my tongue!

Running simplescalar on Ubuntu in alpha config

I have to post this for future reference as there were so many pain points just getting simplescalar running that I needed to mirror some links and consolidate some tutorials. Here's a good guide to installing simplescalar . I'll mirror some of the information from another guide that worked for me as well. The first link also contains the files you'd need to get it running. I'll also rehost them here. Here's a tutorial taken from here. Download the packages here. simplesim-3v0d.tgz simpleutils-990811.tar.gz simpletools-2v0.tgz gcc-2.7.2.3.ss.tar.gz Untar the source code into a simplesim directory mkdir simplesim (wherever you want to put this...you can name it whatever) tar xzvf (the z flag unzips a gzip file as well as untars it.... if you have straight tar files then use tar xvf ) In simpetools-2v0.tgz, there is a gcc-2.6.3 compiler. Since we don't need this, delete it. rm -rf gcc-2.6.3 Note: Before installing simple scalar package, ...

Phoebe loves shoes

OMG Shoes. Phoebe loves them. At any given moment Phoebe is either swapping shoes, trying on shoes, or digging through someone's closet for new shoes. Our recent trip to Bryan, TX to visit family, brought us to a children's play museum. There was a small selection of dress up items which of course included shoes. Phoebe immediately began prancing around in her new shoes. 59585|400 Heather wanted some pictures of Phoebe in her cousins boy clothes as well. Phoebe had run out of sleepers and needed something to wear. We got a good picture but also a picture reflecting her true feelings on wearing boys clothes. 59621|400 59615|400

I Don't Mind

I don't mind the rapid spreading contagion of nerdity (I made the word nerdity up, which I think makes me a nerd. A fact that was never in doubt). My only lament is her hesitance to adopt my music. Seriously, I listen to some awesome music. Every week I find new bands, new sounds, and every once in a while I find gold. The only problem is that I've trained myself to like the weirdest stuff I can find. For example: [audio:01-unexpect-chromatic_chimera.mp3] The band is called uneXpect. They're probably considered metal but they have a certain jazz/circus music/opera influence. They're similar to Sleepytime Guerilla Museum but much heavier. Anyway, I'm a huge fan and really have to suggest picking up their latest release In a Flesh Aquarium . I've also been doing some hunting lately and need to share the fruits of my searching. This first one is easy. It's the background music to the Gears of War commercial . Give it a look see. It's breaking d...
