So I finally caught the bug that has been going around in my family, my son got it, then my wife, and it’s my turn now. My throat hurts like hell. Swallowing and even drinking water hurts significantly. It’s not fun.
Amma and Abba are coming next week Tuesday. I will come back early to go pick them up from the airport. Their flight gets here at 5:30, I’m not looking forward to the ride back through rush hour. Tahnoon will be excited he love them and has a great time with them, of course that means that he will start giving me an attitude since he can go hide behind his grand parents. But that’s his and their privilege. I wish I had had some similar advantage when I was young.
Tried calling Mai but no one picked up the phone. I’ll try again today. Sajid did not call back either. I guess he is busy studying.

The weekend was hot, but who cares as long as I get to hangout at home. I vegetated on Saturday, went to the the library and park with Tahnoon, got a haircut and slept. Went to visit family on Sunday, did not sleep much, had fun talking about everything from movies to politics. The kids had fun too playing with their friends.
I watched “On the Lot” on FOX. It’s interesting how the directors made their choices. Clearly some are really not very good. It really does make me want to finish that damn screenplay of mine… I just don’t have the time. I wish they had better judges though, Carrie Fisher is a lot like Paula on American Idol, though a lot more lucid and sensible.
Looking forward to the last two episodes of the Sopranos.

It takes more than just good actors to make a good film. This movie lacked a quality script or plot. It was not gripping, it was not intelligent, it was mostly a waste of time. The actors (Brosnan and Neeson) made the movie bearlable but left me with a profound feeling of wasted time. The ending of the movie was very weak, as was the middle. The beginning of the movie was good enough to stop me from abandoning it half way through, though it did not stop my wife from going to sleep, and for once I do not blame her.

I ate ice cream, and I ate a brownie like thing, and I did not work out. I feel like crap. I should have at least worked out. Now I feel like a fat slob, I need to keep up the good eating and exercising!!!
I watched the Ultimate Fighter. I guy got hit on the back of the head but still went on, and lost. Felt sorry for him…
The weekend is upon us, and I have no plans. I guess I will just hang out with the kids and got the park etc. It’s going to be really hot though, so it won’t be too much fun. The temperatures up north are going to be better though. I might try Bear mountain, but it us usually overcrowded with a not to sophisticated crowd.

So my left AC joint has been hurting again. Though it seems like taking Aleve once fixes the problem. I wonder if I should just try ice next time… I do feel stronger though, which is great. I should start focusing on cardio now, as well as abs and lower back.
I spent a little time with Tahnoon yesterday, since he was barely awake when I got home. I miss spending time with him. Shahaan was up as well - but as always he’d rather stick with him mom.
I did not get a chance to watch The Last Sin Eater but wasted time watching American Idol. Later I watched the Lost season finale, which I liked. That show has really picked up again, the last three episodes were very enjoyable.

So my wife has done a better job of hiding the peanuts - thank God. So at least I did not pig out on them again. On the other hand I finally dared to not take any pills after I worked out. Turns out, I should have taken the pills. My left should is hurting in the AC joint area. Though I might just be the muscle and not the joint. In any case, time for a pill.
Haven’t watch any movies, I do have “The Last Sin Eater” waiting at home though. I’ll probably watch it tonight.
I have not seen Tahnoon while he’s awake since the weekend. That really sucks, I miss him. I do see Shahaan for a few minutes before he goes to sleep but Tahnoon is sleeping by the time I get home. Hopefully he takes a nap today and I get to see him. He has not been well either, some kind of infection. He actually on antibiotics, I just see him sleeping at night looking tired. I hope he gets better real soon.
Mahrukh is planning this family event. The schedule has not been finalized yet. I’m looking forward to that.

I asked my wife to hide those God damn nuts, she just put them in a closet that I usually open to get things upwards of 5 times a day. I saw the nuts 15 minutes after she hid them. Result: I ate them late last night. Why can’t I control this urge? I think subconsciously I don’t want to stop, and I convince myself that at least they have some protein. Not good enough I have to stop! Hopefully my wife does a better job of hiding them today…
At least I worked out yesterday. Did lower body, had a nice workout. I can feel it today. I need to start cardio, lower back and abs though. Otherwise I won’t be able to play any sports… not that I get a chance to do that much either.

Now I know that some people are not fans of Jack Black’s brand of humor or music, but I am. I mostly enjoyed this movie. There were times when it got a little boring, and Black’s character did seem to change a little too suddenly in the second act. But, overall it was a pleasant experience. This was a movie best watched with some friends rather than my wife, who found the humor crass. Well, it was crass, but funny crass. If you like Jack Black, this is a good movie to watch.

Robin Williams needs to stop making money just for the heck of it. This movies was a waste of time. It was a highly unintelligent plot, with a lot of forced moments of not funny. Even though it had a good caste their talents were unable to bring the movie to anything better than utter crap. I knew this would be bad when I rented it, but I had hoped for better!

So, the saga of the nuts continues. Even after I eat a healthy diet all day, and workout at the gym, I end up eating way too many peanuts at night contributing around 30g of fat - DAMN IT! I’ve got to get a hold of myself and control this damn urge. I think I’ll ask my wife to hide the nuts… In any case, I am tired, I would have liked to go to Rob’s party but I need to be home nowadays - I make it a point to spend time with Shahaan. I need to bring him out of his shell and get him to open up. I love my little boys their both so sweet. My little Tahnoon and Shahaan… I love you little babies
