Qapla' !

As of this morning, I have gotten rid of the weight I gained while in France. I have also (re-)attained the third mini-goal for the diet. I find this to be good news. (Although, I'm not entirely trusting of my scales. They're mostly good for ensuring that the trend remains downwards, but not necessarily an exact figure, while both the mini-goals and the final goal are exact figures. Still, they're probably good enough for government work.)

In case you're wondering, the title of this post is, indeed, Klingon. It means, "Success!" Yes, I know that the use of Klingon is both bogus and sad. I don't care.

Oh, and to the person who complained about a lack of updates when we spoke at the weekend: this makes five for this week. Does that meet your expectations?

Good use of the word qapla'.
I have those same scales - maybe I should go into government.
Meh.
I think a pathological fear of socialism is a good thing. Because if not, we'd all be hippies. And we all know that's not a good thing.
"Science" is a dangerous thing in TV land. The whole "we'll just sharpen this image up a little" and suddenly pixels and whole levels of detail appear from nowhere is complete nonsense but CSI wouldn't work without it. I wonder how they do it in the real world? Fortunately, I know little enough of forensic science to suspend my disbelief. Numbers on the other hand ...
Come on the battlestar galactica. Are you going to have to disown me because I've still not seen any 24?
My utilities company take money from me but never send me bills. It's like the opposite problem.
Good point about the ordering.
Tikka masala paste is very different from tandoori paste. Glad it was good though.
Jamie also does wonderful sticky toffee pudding, as I discovered last night.
Who in their right, or even wrong, mind would do such a thing?

Depends. Which thing were you referring to?
