Pants: Just found out a couple days ago that I can wear size 34 pants. Go me!
update: weight continues to fall, down to 174. Just hoping it drops a bit more. At my current height my body mass index (for those that may wonder if I'm losing too much) is 25, right at the border between overweight and normal!!! One more pound and I'll officially be in the "normal" weight range.

Computer: Yay, finally got a "new" (to me) computer at work. It's been MONTHS! Until now I've actually had a computer from home. Thankfully the dumpster (well, guthrie) provided well and I had a motherboard with an athlon 2200+ to spare for a while. Anyway, this one is a 1.4ghz P4 with a Radeon 7200 and a 40gig hard drive. Unfortunately, it's using XP with "only" 256meg. I'm thinking it'll probably hit the ol' swapfile quite often. I'd shell out a little extra money and put my own RAM in it but UNFORTUNATELY, it uses RDRAM. While an additional 256meg of DDR would only cost $20, 256meg of RDRAM would cost more like...$60-80!!!! Oh well. At least it has a 19 inch monitor.
