Everyone knows I am a nerd and my nerdery knows few bounds. One of my favorite pastimes is watching Star Trek. Recently, I came across Star Trek: The Next Generation on Hulu and I was pleasantly surprised – The Next Generation is now available in high definition!

Friday night, I decided to take a little excursion to Wal-Mart in Plymouth. After this trip, all I could think about was getting out of there and contemplating whether or not I should ever return.

This time change is really messing with me and it makes no sense! Before the time change, my sleeping habits were greatly improved - getting a full eight hours of sleep every night was a good habit to have. Now that "summer time" is here, I can't seem to get to bed at a reasonable time nor am I waking up early, like I prefer. Daylight saving time is a crock, if you ask me.

I've always loved Chinese food and my favorite place for take-out has traditionally been Dragon Express in Plymouth. I would always order Pork with Mushrooms and Crabmeat Rangoon. Obviously, neither of those choices are an option in my new diet.

By now, all of my friends and family know that I have been juicing and eating a near-vegetarian diet (I still eat fish and shrimp). After I watched the movie Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, I dramatically altered my eating habits with extremely positive results.

The last couple of weeks, I’ve been suffering from dry, cracked hands. Having lived in the country my whole life, I’ve known about Bag Balm and I think my dad used to use it, but I’ve never actually tried it until now.

Can’t you just see me sitting here at my desk singing the “Billionaire” song by Travie McCoy? OK, I’m going to admit it, I do. I think it’s a good song. I sit here listening to Spotify quite a bit while I’m working.

A couple of weeks ago, I got a new Nissei DSK-1011 Blood Pressure Monitor to potentially replace my Reli-On HEM-412CREL monitor that I got at Wal-Mart several years ago. I've been dealing with high blood pressure for several years now and accurate monitoring is important to me.
