To be honest, I know nothing about computer hardware so I have no idea what most of my results mean. I feel so clueless and stupid now; woe is me.

In Topic: Tips to cutting back on food
30 August 2007 - 12:37 PM
* Eat normally and monitor what you eat for a few days.
Keep a food log or something with Calorie or carb counts or whatever. Keep track of percentages and try not to go over 100% in things like Sodium. A normal Calorie level is 2,000/day I believe.
* Cut out fast food
The easiest way to go. Really. Replace fast food with easy to fix, healthier things. Try to find healthy Microwave Dinners, canned goods, etc.
* Vegan, vegetarians
If you're willing to give up animal-related products, give it a try. This will include things like eggs, too.
* Eat frequently
If you are, by chance, trying to lose weight, eat small meals every 2-3 hours. It will boost your metabolism. Eating only at some combination of breakfast, lunch, and dinner will slow your metabolism down.
* Get some money, and then...
Go to the medical aisle of your store to all of those dieting products. They have those delicious looking snack bars that you can use for everday consumption.
* Don't Diet!
Just don't. Never go for things that make you cut out healthy things. All parts of the Food Pyramid are valuable to your body except for the very top. Don't give up your grains for those low carb diets. Don't forget about your fruits and vegetables. Meat and dairy are good (unless you're lactose intolerant). Just try to cut back a bit on desserts.

BACK OUT WHILE YOU CAN! ONCE YOU BECOME AN OTAKU, YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK TO NORMAL LIFE!!!
Unplug your computer; go outside; do anything to escape it. It. Will. Draw. You. In!
Now, to my suggestions:
Excel Saga
It gets my vote for funniest anime.
(Coughcough-- I can't find the point of this anime yet...)
Yu Yu Hakusho
112 episodes. Funny; full of action; most of the arcs can actually make you think (especially Sensui).
(Coughcough-- listen to the drama CD's...)
(Coughcough-- my favorite anime at the moment)
Slayers
It has a magical girl that isn't like any magical girl I've ever seen before. Very funny; nice action.
(Coughcough-- I love the Slayers theme songs...)
(Coughcough-- I haven't finished NEXT and I haven't started on TRY yet)
InuYasha
Very popular so it's easy to find. I was able to watch seasons 1-3 through the local library. Mm...romance...
(Coughcough-- I love the InuYasha ending themes)
(Coughcough-- I haven't finished InuYasha yet)
Dragon Ball Z
If you have time on your hands you might as well. They've rerealesed the series so its incredibly cheap (not too much more than a domestic TV series box set)
(Coughcough-- there's something in my throat...)

My take is lovely and interesting (read: lengthy).
OK, Rowling says she's going to publish some kind of encyclopedia follow up so I'm waiting on that. And she hasn't sworn on any of her children that she won't publish some back stories (If she makes a book about the Marauders I swear I'll pre order instead of being lazy and going to WalMart day after) so...let's hope for the best!
Uh...my spoiler cut is very long...sorry.

There were parts when J.K. seriously slapped us in the face and screamed "Children's book! Children's book!".
The epilogue, whenever people started ranting on about love (that final battle with Voldemort), yeah... No wonder... She made it seem like the end was justice when really I just couldn't see it. But I guess the younger readers were smiling happily, huh?
One of the things that really messed with me was when she killed off Lupin and Tonks. And no it's not because Lupin was one of my favorite characters (though he is!). It's because she made him all happy (most likely the happiest he's been since his school years) and gave him a tiny little metamorphing son and then BAM! The man is DEAD. We don't even know who killed him. And then BOOM! Tonks dies off stage, too. And she has the NERVE to leave a little orphan Teddy behind. That was MEAN.
But then Rowling makes me feel so sad with that scene in the woods when Harry is about to die and he's talking to everyone from that generation long ago that I (nearly) forgive her. I must say I enjoyed how Narcissa displayed that, deep down, she's no more than a concerned mother. Heh. Yet another children's book lesson about how a mother's love is one of the most powerful loves of all... But, yeah, it was sweet.
I did enjoy the Ron/Hermione romance. Oddly enough I don't really like this couple but they did have a seven year build up. After so much rushed romance in book six, I was happy to find something that did make some sense. (Sorry, H/Hr fans but c'mon, Rowling herself said that it's been pretty evident since book four!)
...And, yeah, if I knew anyone named "Albus Severus" I would tease them for as long as I lived. But, seriously, did Ginny get ANY say in the naming process? Albus Severus, James, and Lily = Harry related. No one's gets named Fred? And Harry just forget all about poor Sirius... And Rose Weasley is OK but what the %{:content:}amp;# is up with Hugo? (I hope I don't offend and Hugo's.) And was it Scorpio Malfoy or Scorpious? And wouldn't it be ironic if were a Pisces or something? Heh...lucky Teddy...it's a cute name (Though at 19 it might become a bother)
