Quick website update

by Lawrence on December 27, 2011

Just a quick note to everyone that I’m doing testing on a Thesis skin, so if things look wonky on Signs of Sanity that’s the reason.

On another note, regular – such as it is - posting will hopefully pick up again in the next couple days.

Fitness Update – Week of December 10th

by Lawrence on December 10, 2011

Here’s where things currently stand:

Total Miles: 447.2
Runs: 135
Average Pace: 9’50″
Longest Distance: 3.1 miles
Total Duration: 73:21:19
Calories: 53825

This week was a slow ramp-up week in terms of the running. I was able to run Monday through Friday and clock 3.1 miles each run without any significant re-aggravation of the injury so I’m quite happy and will ramp up some more next week.

I became the recipient of a six-pound bag of Gummy Bears this week and that, unfortunately, pretty much killed my diet until I developed enough backbone to regift the remainder of the candy. With that in mind, I ended the week at almost exactly 160 pounds.

After last week’s rest week I wanted to ramp things up [...]

Return to Star Wars: The Old Republic beta week two

December 1, 2011

In an earlier article I detailed my thoughts about the SWTOR beta now that the NDA’s been lifted for testers. To recap, I feel that it’s a mixed bag with promise but ultimately will compete with MMOs like Lord of the Rings Online rather than the seemingly unassailable World of Warcraft. I don’t know what [...]

November 2011 Movie Reviews

November 24, 2011

I‘ve had a bit of time on my hands lately, so I’ve been watching a couple movies. When I decided to finally give Netflix the boot, I was left without easy access to new releases (if I didn’t want to buy them, which I don’t.)  At first I thought of giving Blockbuster a go and [...]

Star Wars: The Old Republic beta impressions

November 23, 2011

Now that Bioware has lifted the NDA on their still-in-beta Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO, testers are now free to talk about their impressions. Of the two sides, Jedi and Sith, I played exclusively on the Sith side of things simply because the Jedi in the The Old Republic era are rather boring to [...]

Following my long run on Monday my right shin and calf were really rather sore and it only got [...]

Skyrim First Impressions

November 17, 2011

Let me start off by saying a couple things: 1.) I’m not going to say a word about the plotlines in Skyrim other than to say that the ones I’ve played through so far are really quite good and I don’t want to spoil anything for you. 2.) If you’re a fan of the Elder [...]
