Biking & Fitness

Been a while since I actually commented on this. Overall, I haven't lost any progress, really, although I have kind of stalled out at my current weight (which right now, is ~230-235, depending on the day, what I've eaten, whether I've biked, etc.) I did kind of spike back up to around 240 for a bit, but I'm work back down from that again (weighed in at 232 this morning, even though I kind of splurged yesterday on food.) Ideally, I'd like to actually drop another 10 to 15 lbs before GenCon to get around 215-220, but I have my doubts there.

I haven't had a lot of those "super crazy long" bike rides like I did earlier, but that's at least partially due to fact that I put on new pedals that require specialized shoes with cleats that clip-in ... and this makes driving in traffic an exercise in suicide management. Thus, I've been hitting the river track and going for 12-24 miles (depending on whether I do both sides of the river, or just one.)

This morning, I only managed 14 point something ... was going to do both sides (so around 24 to 26 ... not sure which) but I was thoroughly exhausted for some reason. Guess I didn't sleep all that well.

Ah well. Guess I can try and make myself go biking again tomorrow. Maybe force myself to do a minimum of 10 miles every day ... that should help shed those pounds I'd like to lose...

Paladin Thoughts

In our Friday game, we're playing D&D 5E with a relatively new GM, with a fascinating campaign concept: the PCs are legendary heroes pulled from the past to deal with a great threat ... unfortunately, they were pulled from the timestream before they could become the legends. I decided that I would play a Paladin but wanted to do something slightly different and came up with a concept: the Traitor-Knight. Essentially, in his past-future, he would go on to become reviled by most of the populace due to his siding with the losers of the inevitable war that leads to the current status quo. But that's not what this post is really about. Instead, I wanted to throw out some interesting musings on Holy Knights like this.

Earthfall, Plot Outline

There are twenty planned chapters, five of which are going to be flashbacks. This is actually becoming my standard, I've noticed as "Fulcrum," "Vorticity" and "Aspects of Silver" all have that same technique baked into them. As outlines go, this probably one of my least figured out which honestly fills me with a great deal of trepidation about this.

Capaldi Leaving Who

I can't say that this surprises me - the sad part, for me anyway, is that he's had the potential to be great but the scripts have sucked terribly for him. Kind of weird that Moffat wrote some of my favorite Tennant Who eps but has kind of been a bust as showrunner. My expectation is that Capaldi's departure will be the death knell of the show. The SJW twits will get their way and the next Doctor will likely be a woman and long-time fans like me will tune out in droves. I have less trouble with the Doctor being a black guy, providing he's a guy . Sadly, the show already went off the rails with the Master regenerating into a woman (although to be fair, I've pretty much hated the modern incarnation of the Master since he first showed up in Tennant's run because he's been more Joker-like than Master-like.)
