Awww, crap. I forgot to renew my domain name, which is why my site is down. It’ll be back soon.
Congrats and to many more 🙌🏽

Star Wars Prognostication
Okay, I know this Star Wars-related question starts off INSANE, what with speculating on midichlorian evolution and whatnot, but some of the answers are awesome.
“Additionally, Anakin Skywalker’s parthenogenetic (or hermaphroditic) birth in combination with his geographic isolation on the backwaters of Tatooine prior to his contact with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi* suggest the pathogenesis of his particularly impressive Force-sensitivity follows neither a genetic nor physical transmission mechanism…”
I was also interested to learn that in one of the expanded Universe stories, Vader plots to kill the Emperor himself. Cool.

My good deed for the day: teaching fellow knitters how to use htaccess and mod_rewrite to serve rude images to hotlinkers.

Stabbing back pains = great way to start Wednesday. Good thing I’m going to the physio AGAIN.
Going to be late. Stuck in P’matta Rd traffic. So just to clarify, I’ve had back spasms & gridlock… & I’m having lunch w/ mother-in-law.

Fun! However, I object to the inclusion of “Hole in the Wall” as being a Tetris analog. It’s not Tetris at ALL. Tetris is about STACKING, not about moving shapes through holes in barriers.

Beef and Cabbage Stir-fry
Beef and Cabbage “Stir-fry”
The Snook arrived home tonight to some odd smells. “What are you cooking?” he asked. “It’s kind of hard to describe,” I answered. “I think it’s sort of like homemade Hamburger Helper.” Unfortunately that cultural reference was lost on him. He looked in the pot. “It looks like what my Dad used to call ‘Savoury Mince,’” he said. That’s… pretty accurate, really. Basically, I knew we had cabbage, broccoli, and a bit of celery to use up from the veggie box, so I googled and found this recipe. It looked strange and interesting. It’s basically hamburger mince cooked with rice, some veggies, chicken soup mix(!), and curry powder(!). (I left out the Chinese noodles on top.) It actually turned out really good! We both enjoyed it, and we’ve got plenty left-over for tomorrow. Even with the small bit of rice, I think it probably works out quite low-carb too. I think this could be my new go-to recipe for using up odd bits of veg…Read and add comments: Beef and Cabbage Stir-fry3 responses

Kel WON!
Remember how I told you that my friend Kel was trying to win the chance to throw out the opening pitch at a Cubs game? Well, SHE WON! That’s so frickin’ cool. Thanks to everybody who signed up to the newsletter and helped her out. Her big day is on September 2nd, which is a day game on a Wednesday. I can’t wait to see the photos!

Tetris 25th Anniversary
Photo gallery for 25th anniversary of Tetris. I have two of the three vintage Game Boys pictured! Fun. However, I object to the inclusion of the Japanese “Hole in the Wall” game show pics. That has nothing to do with Tetris, really.

RunningBlog
I took an extra day off last week due to my lower back pain and general feelings of crappiness, so my weekly total went down a little. I’ve officially signed up for the Running Festival Half-Marathon though, so there’s no backing out now. I’m on Week 5 of my 20 week training program, so I’m 25% of the way through. I’ve got plenty of time.
This week: 19.86km (12.4mi)
Last week: 22.39km (14mi)
