Tommy Westphall update...

For people fascinated with The Tommy Westphall Universe, turns out the brains behind it are right here on LJ

*waves to [livejournal.com profile] crossoverman and [livejournal.com profile] smashsc*

They've also started [livejournal.com profile] tommywestphall to keep people updated about newly discovered connections to the Tommy-verse, allow for discussion, and other cool things.

Needless to say, friended, friended, friended.

I don't know why I find this fascinating, but I do.

Also, on another front, I'm now in day three of the South Beach Diet. Truthfully, I don't find it all that hard, mostly because I think I'm actually eating *more* and because I eat most of this stuff anyway. The only thing I have to lose is the breads and the fruit (at least for the first two weeks). Now I thought I was a bread freak, but after the first day, I don't miss it at all.

The only thing I *refuse* to give up is creme in my coffee. Sorry. No. I've compromised with the fat-free half & half, but it's still going in. If that dude in the book refused to give up his dish of ice cream every day and still lost weight, I don't think a couple of splashes of fat-free half & half every day is going to be the death knell.

Plus, I'm subsituting extra virgin olive oil (which I should have been doing anyway) for stir-fry and cooking.

So, overall, I'm not feeling the pain on this. I have to be doing this completely and stupidly wrong if it's this easy.

Anyway, off to work!

Thank you SO much for the original link to the Tommy Westphall madness, and now for the community link. I'm utterly fascinated.

I'm not on South Beach (I have the book! Does that count?) but I wouldn't give up the half and half either. In fact, I go for the full fat version, because the fat-free has sweetening agents in it, and the full fat is just milk and cream.
