One meal a day; plus, IRC is cool

Today, like yesterday, I only had one meal. It was:

  • one pint sweet and sour chicken

  • one pint rice

  • one can Mountain Dew


  • I've also been drinking water.

    I'm not sure what the deal is, but yesterday and today I just didn't feel like eating, other than the main meal that came around what lunch would be for me if I was counting. Right now I feel like I should be hungry, but I don't particularly want to eat anything. Thinking about food makes me go "Meh."

    Sam says that I should try to stick to one meal a day for a week so that my stomach will contract. Then I'll get full easier, as long as I eat slowly. I say that sounds like a good plan, so I'm going to go for it.

    Boy, we had a crazy time in the channel tonight. I told Kitty Larke's player to come in, and she did, and she was a hoot. She's one of those who is quite adept at the skill of chatting, and she kept us all in stitches. We amused her greatly, as well. It was a rousing good time for all, during which postage occurred...so in essence, I was quite a happy camper!

    I really haven't had a good, fast-paced chat like that in a long time. We used to have them back on EFNet, #robotech and #starwars!, but after awhile people just stopped going to EFNet (including me). I really love what the IRC room does for the AMRN. Giving people a common place to discuss posts and conspire together and get to know one another was a fantastic idea. Posting has increased among the people who show up to the chat, I believe, and we're tying more things together far more easily than before. It's the sense of community that I always felt we needed. Not everyone comes to the room, so it's not an all-encapsulating experience...but we have enough of the major posters that it almost feels like it. It's fantastic.
