Day 87 - Project 366

Hunger for more

I watched "The Hunger Games" with Hannah opening weekend.  Impressions?  It was pretty dang awesome.  My thirst for the novel is now at a peak.  I started reading the book more than a year and a half ago, but stopped just a few pages in when I learned of a movie in the offing.  I've learned that movies based on books are more enjoyable pre-reading.

I disliked the cinematography.  The camera shake seemed excessive (I actually got motion sick halfway though the arena sequences) and the protracted hand-to-hand scenes became a detriment to the film.  These complaints pale next to the praise I can heap on Collins for developing such a great protagonist.  Producers, directors, casting directors and, of course, Jennifer Lawrence also get kudos for transferring and executing the role so well.

There seems to be an insurgence of outstanding strong female rolls in films lately.  Lawrence and the character Katniss are probably the quintessential example, but I've been well taken by other great character/actor combinations like Olivia Wilde's "Quorra" in Tron Legacy (I liked it so much I gave that name to my daughter.)  These ladies have grasped an ability to lead an action film without being butch, krass or lascivious while maintaining an air of vulnerability and femininity.  It's a niche that I feel hasn't been well exploited in film and I hunger for more.

Day 85 - Project 366

Our stake went though some restructuring.  New ward boundaries for two thirds of the stake.  These are my new ward boundaries.  We lose a neighborhood to the ward south.  I've made some friends in that neighborhood that I will be sorry to see less of.  I can't help but feel that geographicaly this is better for them, their families and their neighborhood.  Wishing them all the best.

Well, my average glucose (record lifetime) is 217. I'm up a point from last week. :-(

It's Just Another Part Of Me

Living the post appendix life

For as much as I hate surgery It's remarkable how much I wanted someone to cut me open and take a part of me out.  But that's where I'm at anyway.  I feel like I'm in a movie.  Having an appendectomy seems to me like one of those proceedures that never really happens, but always works as a fantastic plot device in sitcoms.  I really owe it to Hannah for trying to dig up a diagnosis at home.  Had she not looked up the symptoms and read so precisely the situation I was experiencing, I would have toughed it out and shrugged it off.  Thanks for not wanting me dead, babe!

Well, the doctor says I'm not going to die anytime... soon anyway.  My recovery feels like it's finally beginning in earnest.  This is the first day I haven't felt totally hammered in a week.  Laparoscopy should leave me with minimal scars, and the muscles seems to be healing nicely.  So that's the story of the appendix free life.

Knowledge of having diabetes has not changed the realities of living with diabetes.  After struggling to contain blood glucose post surgery, it now seems that a few medications might just take care of things for the foreseeable future.  A lot of testing in offing, but I'm just not that worried about it.  I've tested on and off for years now.  I'm looking at meters more seriously now though.  Anyone want to chime in on their favorite meters or best practices?

Lack of leap year saves earth

Everyone can rest easy...the Mayans were wrong. There have been 514 leap years since Caesar created it in 45 BC. Without the extra day every 4 years, we'd be in August of 2013. The Mayan calendar didn't account for leap year...so technically the world should have ended 7-8 months ago. Just sayin'.

Why is @OrrinHatch using his ads to tell us how he WILL fix budget, repeal obama care instead of trumpeting what he HAS done about those issues? Seems that after being in office as long as he has and with all his "clout" he'd have fulfilled some of those promises.
