I recently received an email from an anonymous fan sharing how she pulled a Hawkeye Initiative themed prank on her CEO to illustrate a problem with some artwork.
My personal compliments to her and her accomplice on a mission well done; they perfectly took they perfectly took the concept of The…

Gosh, this feels good to look at. I’m 164 in the pic at the left and around 180 on the right. Back pics: Nov 2012, 178 on the left. Right two are from today. Today I weighed 163. I think I’m going to see the 150s soon. I’m so happy with my progress; my approach has gotten much more moderate and my experience with weight loss feels a lot better versus trying to be extreme with it a couple years ago (which got me no where).

Diet has been low/moderate carb with moderate calorie restriction. Exercise has been climbing, hiking, biking, and some lifting. I hurt my left arm recently so I haven’t climbed for three weeks, but supplementing that with some kettlebell work and cycling. Hoping to get back on the rocks in another week.

My tribute to House and Magritte, entered into a Shirt.Woot derby. I have no expectations for its success, but it was a quick lil idea my friend suggested to me and I ran with. I might clean up some lines if I want to make this a real shirt.

The challenge was how I could reference both while staying true to the original Magritte painting (and making a clear connection to House). Font played a big role. I’m not 100% sure on what font House uses, but I think it’s Futura (plus some custom boxes on emphasized words). I’m sure the box on the H in House is for Hospital, though :)

I ate a lot of Fruit Stripe gum as a child. Literally ate. 

Growing up as a minority in the Midwest, the thing I wanted most in the world was to fit in with the rest of the town. It’s taken me a long time as an adult, but I’ve come to terms with the many ways I’m different from the norm. Finally embracing what makes me unique and quirky has let me cultivate a sense of happiness and belonging that I struggled to find as a child. 
I’ve learned stars have the courage to show their true colors.

Theme is “What makes me different.”
