SotR 2009-03-06

1. Work: Shorter monthly performance review at work: "Looks good." Pizza was served to the team. I eated some. It was good. Before SG was 100. After 2 hrs later 109. Lessons: Pizza is Not a Bad Thing. Unrestricted pizza is a Bad Idea for the insulin-challenged.

2. Health: One goal has been blown for the month. I had a serum glucose reading over 150 mg/dl 3 hrs after a meal Wednesday night. I later discovered that I'd missed a dose of insulin. Remedy: Daily routine modification -- inject evening dose of insulin as soon as I get home from work. Weight is down about a pound this week, right on target.

3. Socio-emotional: No gaming scheduled until 3/22 (Kitsune), nor is a hangout date in the works for the weekend. Yet. Know an unattached geek grrl who'd like to see Watchmen?

4. Music Matters: I've a new Wild Hair up my musical arse. I've started collecting various bands' versions / variations of the trad Celtic classic "Star of the County Down." Between Pladdhog's very uptempo take and "The Starbucks of the County Down," Emerald Rose's version is of course quite good . . . . I wonder if any of the Celtic-punk bands like Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys do that one? Since I started playing Mafia Wars over on Facebook, I've had various Rolling Stones tunes running through my head as I put "Don Gorgonzola" and his mafia through their virtual adventures in crime: "Gimme Shelter," "Tumbling Dice," "Hang Fire," and "One Hit (to the body)." I added other tunes about criminality to a playlist -- more about this later.

Now playing: The Rolling Stones - Hang Fire
