Day 6 - Now I've read up some more things about fasting now that I'm very much in the thick of it, and I remember some articles mentioning something about a lot of yellow mucus. Before I went to bed last night, I noticed one of my nostrils clogging up, like I was on the verge of a cold. That may have been the case, but if it was a cold, it was quickly beaten. Now, I have just a sizable amount of yellow mucus that I'm either snorting back or blowing out my nose. Weird.
Anyways, I feel a tad weak today. Surprisingly though, I am not at all hungry. *snort* Maybe it's because of all of the mucus in my stomach. It's a crazy feeling to go through your day, walk past McDonald's and have no interest in any food item. Very cool.

Water Fasting Days 4-5
Day 4 - Sweet Jesus why didn't anyone remind me that this is a water fast, not a whiskey fast. Last night I drank myself to the floor, which wasn't that hard because I have the emptiest stomach I've ever had in my life. Supposedly I still drank a lot, according to my roommates, but I don't really remember. When I woke up on the fourth day I felt like hell. Lesson learned - avoid alcohol.
Day 5 - O god why did I do it again? I was mid recovery and a friend from the hackerspace invited me to a bar to network with some headhunters. They bought me all of my drinks, and just like the night before, I can't refuse that. Well, I woke up today feeling a little bit groggy, had to walk through the rain to get home, but now after a shower I'm feeling pretty good with absolutely no cravings for food. Actually I'm feeling pretty good despite.

Water Fasting Days 1-3
I don't know where I got the idea to do this. Something tells me it was because of Stumbleupon, but anways, I haven't eaten anything in over 62 hours. I'm on day 3 of my "Fast for the fuck of it". I'm interested in experimenting with my body, so this doesn't really come as a surprise to myself. I'll tell you how it's been so far.
Day 1 - Everyone knows what it's like to be hungry. I'm one of the most voracious eaters I know. I eat a lot. So going on this fast seems especially crazy to me. Regardless, the first day wasn't terrible. I started timing everything at 12:00 AM on October 1st. I went to sleep around 3AM or so in a fed state. I woke up around 10 and was mildly hungry. By the end of the day it felt like what you'd expect. I was hungry, but I could manage.
Day 2 - I went to bed around the same time as last night. I woke up surprised that I wasn't that hungry, but within a few hours that changed. I was constantly forcing images of food out of my mind. I started to imagine what was the meal I wanted most. Was it the Delmonico Steak from Mark's Prime US Steakhouse? Something from China Grill? No, maybe just a MASSIVE burrito from Moe's. Before I went to bed I was talking with my roommate and he said I should check my breath because it smelled foul. Before starting fasting, I had read very little about the subject. Now I know personally that this is one of the side effects of fasting. I also noticed that my adrenaline was easily triggered.
Day 3 - I am no longer hungry. This is very surprising. I'm mildly sensitive to light. I don't have as much energy but it is manageable. Instead of running up stairs, now I just walk. I feel pretty good considering. I have foul breath, but I don't really notice it, just everyone else. I bought some mints in case I do have to interact with people.

Damn Frustrating
For a game that I've already bought and beaten, I've gone through way too much trouble to get Fable 3 on PC. I've tried several times, with different cards to download the game from the Steam network, but to no avail, I'm guessing because they blocked my IP.
Fuck...
There is a solution for this you know...
I am willing to support the developer of this game, but it's inconvenient in my position. I can't just go to a store and buy the game, and the other option is I have to contact steam to release my IP for downloading AGAIN!. Fuck me.
No wonder pirating is so popular.

Beautiful Secret #3
Every builder has a dream to make his own house. Nothing quite like seeing your work serve you so well. But everybody has different ideas on how they want it to look. Here's an idea of how I want mine to look.
It's somewhere in the desert. You'll drive out to the address and see nothing but an elevator.
And then down you go in the elevator to my abode. All underground. I imagine it would save quite a lot of cooling expenses. Who knows, maybe there'll even be a sunlight.

Beautiful Secret #2
I want to make a thermal lance out of spaghetti and aluminum foil.

Beautiful Secret #1
I saw a video, which challenged me to think of a new beautiful secret every day.
http://vimeo.com/12890334
I'd like to take up that challenge.
I would love to build a furnace. Or maybe a smelter. Something that could be so concentratingly hot to melt whatever I want. It would be part underground, with a billowing chimney rising from it. Of course it would be made of brink and mortar, done with my own hands. I don't know how to, nor do I have the funds to, but if I ever get the latter, I am sure I can understand the prior. Ideally, it would have a place for me to sit near by it. Like a small brick amphitheater for my toosh.
Yes.
Awesome.
