I love WordPress and all, but is anyone else tired of all the damn updates??? It seems as though there’s a new version every two or three months. Why is that? It’s not like something significant changes every single time. I’m not a developer or anything, so I don’t know all the details behind the updates, but come on. Once or twice a year seems like it would be sufficient, kwim? At least they’ve got the self-installer now so the update only takes a minute….

Has Hotmail been down for you today? I had been trying to log in for the longest time without success, but I finally got through a minute ago. It sucks because I usually don’t even use Hotmail but my university’s email system is synced to it and I needed some information about a paper I have to write. At any rate, things seem to be better now, but I would rather not have lost so much time trying to log in to no avail….

How is it possible that I’m still gaining weight?? I have been following a great exercise routine for almost a year and a half now without lapsing and have been watching my fat intake very carefully. On most days, I only consume 30-40g, which is far less than the 65g typically listed as the RDA. I’m also cutting down on eating between meals. All of these behaviors should lead to weight loss, but that hasn’t been happening for me. Why???

I think I only have two options left. One is to starve myself, which I’m not crazy enough to do. The other is to try some safe weight loss products like supplements or pills or whatever. I clearly need an extra boost that I can’t get naturally, so maybe trying some pills isn’t a bad idea.

Man, this is very, VERY frustrating!

It’s time for my annual “I hate winter” post. I am so sick of the snow, freezing cold weather, wind chill, and dreary, overcast days right now. I haven’t left my house in almost a week because I can’t muster up enough energy to bundle up as much as I need to. My exercise program has been derailed, and I’m just generally in a bad mood. I’m ready to start comparing rates at South Beach Miami hotels so I can see the sun again. Hey, if I do things quickly, I can beat the spring break crowd and recharge my batteries over there.

Oh, well, I know this is just kind of a pipe dream. We don’t have the money to take a vacation right now. I really need one, though. That, or I need to move someplace that’s sunny and warm all year round!

I wasted this whole night restoring my computer after a virus wiped me out. I had backups of my important data, so I didn’t lose anything in that regard, but it still takes a hell of a lot of time to download and reinstall all the programs I had, restore my bookmarks and passwords, etc. What a PITA.

I don’t know where I picked this virus up from. I’m always very careful about which sites I surf, I scan my computer regularly, etc. Oh, well. It happens, I guess. This was just not a good time for me. I have a bunch of shit to do and have now wasted at least 8 hours attending to computer nonsense.

Have you noticed in the past few months that a lot of celebrity-related gossip stems right out of posts that people make on their Twitter accounts? For example, when Kanye dissed Taylor Swift, most of the news articles about the incident included a bunch of comments that people like Pink and Kelly Clarkson made via Twitter. Hey, no need to get an interview when you can get quotes straight from Twitter, right? And today some newspaper just published a short article about Fred Durst getting divorced — with the source for the article being Durst’s tweet where he confirmed the rumors.

In the realm of collegiate and professional sports, some Twitter accounts have gotten people into serious trouble. NBA player Michael Beasley posted a picture with what looked to be marijuana in the background, and subsequently checked himself into rehab. Several NFL stars have closed their Twitter accounts after questionable tweets that disrespect fans or other players. A Texas Tech player was suspended for one of his tweets complaining about head coach Mike Leach being late for his own meeting (Leach later banned all Tech players from Twitter), and a New York Jets reserve was benched for one game after complaining about lack of playing time on his Twitter account.

Personally, I’m getting tired of reading “news” articles that include references to Twitter and tweets. I guess it’s kind of cool that these celebrities can “talk” directly to their fans or whatever, but there’s just really TMI out there now. Twitter overload for sure.

I don’t know why I continue to play fantasy football. It’s supposed to be a fun hobby that heightens interest in every game, but I get in such a bad mood when I lose that it sure as heck doesn’t feel like fun. In fact, I don’t even look forward to weekends anymore because of all the stress that my fantasy football leagues cause me. It’s stupid, I know, but I can’t control my reaction to the results. Seriously, I need to quit playing these stupid games!
