I have been trying to make a lot of health decisions lately, drinking diet soda, walking to and from the bus for work and all that. But I seem to have hit a wall. And don't feel like I am getting anymore in shape.<br /><br />So, after listening to SciFri, and there segment on making attainable new years resolutions. I came up with a new years resolution that I am 100% dedicated to seeing through in '09.<br /><br /><span style=""></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; font-size:large;">Go to the GYM 156 times in 09.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div>That comes out to 3 times a week, which has been a schedule I have tried and liked in the past.  The way I figure it, I have something I can chew off in bite sized chunks.  Something that I can't "slip" on, because I can go more often to catch up if I need too.</div><div><br /></div><div>Some things I consciously didn't include.  What I do at the gym, or how long I go.  What days I go on, etc.  I wanted to keep this simple, and will be focusing on those things as ways to get that up to 156 trips this year.  But I figured all the good stuff would come without me trying for them, if I could just go on a regular basis.</div><div><br /></div><div>So wish me luck.  As I post this, I just got back from trip number <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold; font-size:large;">3<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; ">.</span></span></div><br />I hope everyone else is starting off there 2009 with a good resolution!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5941038569434620055-8189281016282671439?l=misttar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Misttarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08071727353477328316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941038569434620055.post-4171883788976760282008-12-12T15:59:00.000-08:002008-12-12T16:09:45.645-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-Dt4tgmZPTU/SUL8j1UPMDI/AAAAAAAAAAs/b53oAEuvIac/s1600-h/Santa-Dogs.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-Dt4tgmZPTU/SUL8j1UPMDI/AAAAAAAAAAs/b53oAEuvIac/s320/Santa-Dogs.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279059405769224242" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Yep, that's me!</span><br /><br /><p>Once again, I will be dressing up as <span style="color:#ff0000;">Pet Santa</span> so people can come and take pictures of their animals (dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, small children, etc) with me.  All for the <a href="http://www.oregonferretshelter.org/santapaws.htm">Oregon Ferret Shelter</a>.  Pictures are ~$10 with $5 going directly to the charity (the rest covers petsmarts cost).  This is one of our largest fundraisers for the year!</p><br /><p> </p><br /><p>I will personaly be dressed as <span style="color:#ff0000;">Pet Santa</span> tomorrow, Dec 13th from 11am to 4pm at <a href="http://stores.petsmart.com/petsmart/cgi/site?site=1248">East Vancouver PetSmart.</a> And again at the same location on Sunday, Dec 21st from 11am to 4pm.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5941038569434620055-417188378897676028?l=misttar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Misttarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08071727353477328316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941038569434620055.post-15718959220587165902008-07-11T12:48:00.000-07:002008-12-10T10:48:15.221-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Dt4tgmZPTU/SHe5rvnAgkI/AAAAAAAAAAU/2vCPt8dEaa4/s1600-h/iPhone-launch-Line.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Dt4tgmZPTU/SHe5rvnAgkI/AAAAAAAAAAU/2vCPt8dEaa4/s320/iPhone-launch-Line.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221846454124970562" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-Dt4tgmZPTU/SHe5cqm-lrI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Rra3y_iGyQM/s1600-h/iPhone-launch-Free-Coffee.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-Dt4tgmZPTU/SHe5cqm-lrI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Rra3y_iGyQM/s320/iPhone-launch-Free-Coffee.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221846195084629682" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Couple of pictures from me waiting in line for my new shiny iPhone 3G.

Some of the comments on <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=224577">ENWorld</a> and <a href="http://www.dragonavenue.com/forums/viewthread/685/">Dragon Avenue</a> have been priceless.<br /><br />But in the end, I think he has a good point, WotC needs to stop talking about have a next generation online presence, and actually start cultivating one.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5941038569434620055-8554125081611435679?l=misttar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Misttarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08071727353477328316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941038569434620055.post-47586453698591446212008-04-21T13:13:00.000-07:002008-04-25T17:10:35.039-07:00Bunch of people I know are on Twitter so I went ahead and jumped in.<br /><br />You can see me at <a href="http://twitter.com/misttar">http://twitter.com/misttar</a> and I added the feed to the blog main page as well.<br /><br />Please DM me and say hello!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5941038569434620055-4758645369859144621?l=misttar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Misttarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08071727353477328316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941038569434620055.post-25902397161088610622008-01-21T12:21:00.000-08:002008-01-21T12:26:11.459-08:00I have started a new blog to attempt an in character record of my new Monday night role playing game, titled: <a href="http://empireofthemoon.blogspot.com/">Empire of the Moon</a>.

Must say, I enjoyed it much more then the bionic woman premier.<br /><br />They seem to be sticking to the T2 storyline and working from there. And, in my mind, have captured the feel of the Terminator movies pretty good. The preview for next episode seems to hint at even more time travel twisting, with more humans and robots coming back to stop/insure the war.<br /><br />Can't wait to see tomorrow nights episode, even though it will be in non-HD, Monday's RPG night interferes, so will have to watch it off the Tivo.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5941038569434620055-8424442955248199025?l=misttar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Misttarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08071727353477328316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941038569434620055.post-13910930894399788732008-01-13T13:49:00.000-08:002008-01-13T14:00:05.366-08:00This is my first blog post in what I hope to be a usefull little space for my friends and family to follow what I am currently doing.<br /><br />Expect to see posts about my Table Top RPG games, Anime, links to skeptical information/news and some random other stuff.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5941038569434620055-1391093089439978873?l=misttar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Misttarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08071727353477328316noreply@blogger.com0
