[cross posted from body.livecurt.net for your convenience] A calorie is 4.1184 Joules, which is roughly 4 watts. A calorie is a physical unit of potential energy.

It has just occurred to me that instructors don’t really acknowledge spring break anymore. While there is no class held during spring break, there is no effect on online courses, and in-person classes still have assignments due. My Creative Writing class was on break this week (CPCC break), but assignments are still due on the […]
So far in Drawing 2 I haven’t enjoyed anything more than I did in drawing 1, until now. We are presently working on perspective. In this course, we are going at it more aesthetically and a lot less technically. I am currently working on a piece that I am really happy with so far. Its […]
I was worried that when I started this workout routine and made the decision to become fit and to make other positive changes in my life, that I would be alone, and a bit of an outcast among everyone I am in contact with. I am very happy to say that Chris is being very […]

I expected when I started this plan of personal health and fitness that it would result in me losing some of my favorite foods, but so far, nothing has really had to be ejected. I no longer indulge in carbonated beverages at all, and the only thing sweet I drink is 100% juice and the […]
I have been a little nervous about the concept of posting a link to my supplemental blog for my personal “body renovation” project, both because of my self-esteem issues related to the blog, and because I don’t think most of my readers would be interested in such things. I have been trying to post a […]
Today was my “birthday observed” day, and it is the day I received gifts. My mother decided to get me another AeroGarden, so that I can grow more things. I have already set up the new garden with a chili pepper seed kit. Since the other garden was started on a Saturday, and today is […]
