I'm turning into Cody

I now have 2 jobs. I am working as a researcher at ASU as well as my GD internship. I am doing RF material characterization and will probably be trying to verify some theories about non-destructive measurements of thin film resistors.

Kristina and I started the South Beach Diet a few weeks ago. Ok.. really Kristina started it and I am being a good supportive husband and doing it with her. My wife is a great cook but damn that was a hell of a lot of fish and vegetables. Don't be fooled by South Beach "mashed potatoes." They aren't really potatoes but pureed cauliflower.
I am happily out of the strict 2 week no carb or sugar (that includes fruit) phase. I hit my "weight goal" and skipped straight to phase 3, so now I pretend to eat like I should have been for the last 3 years. Lots of veggies, natural grains and whole wheat stuff, lowfat milks and cheeses and stuff.

Thats really all I have time to say. I am behind in my homework thanks to my first test gauntlet. I have no life anymore.

Happy Birthday Puppy!

Today is Lenny's birthday. He is 5. He was born as Cactus Yikes but now he is just lazy old Lenny.
He had a pretty fun day today. He got a new toy.

It has a squeaker in each arm and leg, a rattle in its head and a growler in its stomach. Lenny was very confused by the growler at first, as is demonstrated by his wide eyes and perked up ears as his new tow bleats at him. It sounds like the cow noise the Fisher-Price barn makes when you open the doors.

This is not staged, that is really how he was sleeping. He is a very spoiled but very happy puppy.

I don't know how I feel abou this:

2 phone pic posts.. what is becoming of me? Really though, you can't blame me for finding the need to share this thing with you. It is what happens when you tell some french guy to build you a toilet and "make it a throne". Yes, that is a music box to the left of the bowl. It plays tinkly music while you tinkle.
