The same time that GMC announces the end of production of the Hummer — not the yuppie-uber-rich models H2 and H3 for the “I don’t know what to do with my money” crowd — but the original built-for-the-military hardcore rough and tumble Humvee is being taken off the production line …

… they announce a new Humvee model, the H8, termed “The Earth Fucker.”

I remember, when I was first at Towson (for years and years and years), every week, there’d be a spot in the Towerlight’s Police Blotter about some poor sap having his laptop stolen when he left it unattended at a table in the Brick while he went for a wizz.

(I wonder that no one clued that idiot in to not leaving his laptop unattended while peeing).

Anyway, if you’ve got a laptop, and you want to keep it, get yo’self jacked.

I’ve never been able to understand the fascination with the TV series “Stargate SG-1.” I couldn’t get it into the movie the show is based on, either. As concerns both “Stargate SG-1″ and it’s spin-off, “Stargate Atlantis”, I find them to be derived, unoriginal and boring. Imagine my excitement at the prospect of a third derivitive, unoriginal, boring Stargate series.

I’m dancing for joy.

No, really.

Okay, there’s a reason I didn’t post about my diet last week — the fact is, keeping with it has become hard, the hardest its been since I first started it. There’s no excuse for it, I got sloppy, and I’m currently weighing 226, a gain of five pounds over the last two weeks.

I am very fortunate that I’ve had as easy a time as I have over the last few months as I’ve dieted. The fact is that despite trying to limit my eatin’ to a strict daily point schedule, I’ve often been able to blow that point schedule and still lose weight. This is either a tribute to an awesome metabolism, or a scary reminder of just how much I was eating before I began my diet. In any case, it seems I’ve reached the point where I must once again make a strong and strict effort to watch how much I eat on a daily basis. In addition, I need to get serious about exercising, something I’ve had a tough time doing for the duration of my diet.

So. Back to being serious about the diet I am, and here I go.

(Some of that frozen food in my freezer is looking really good … no, no, must resist … must resist …)
