morganskyeTonight in Summerville there's supposed to be a anime club meeting tonight at 8pm. It's being held at the Main Street Ye Old Fashioned. Come if you want, but I have the feeling it's going to be a bust.
Other than that things are just freaking peachy. I have some interesting doctor stuff going on. He's talking about stomach stapling and the like. Apparently I'm fat enough to have surgery, but not fat enough for the gastro-intestinal-whatever bypass. That's good by me though. I've seen what it does to people. Kowai.
Taking yesterday off was a really good idea. I had fun, relaxed, and enough work has piled up so that I actually have something to do today. Woot. Do you know how hard it is to look busy for almost a week?
In other news, I saw something very interesting at the reallife comic site. http://www.yourselffitness.com
It's an Xbox game that helps you loose weight. It's damn nifty for more than the obvious.
1) It's a true fitness game. Unlike DDR, which has weight-loss as a neato side effect, this one is all about the pounds.
2) Programmers and companies are starting to think outside the box (gawd I hate that term). They're starting to figure out that you can do more on a console than shoot zombies and watch zombie movies.
3) It's aimed DIRECTLY AT WOMEN. It's a female personal trainer, and has been endorsed by several women's magazines. This means that not only are corporations realizing that they can do more than games, but the buyers will think about it too. Who knows what the next step for consoles will be?
