That 'One Year Off'

Piano performance graduate of UT Tyler in May, 2010.

This is...what's next. A log of what's next. For now. Not forever, of course. But who knows?

But for now? Including, but not limited to: piano, teaching, music, video games, running, graduate schools, Japan, photography.

What is this thing, and what is it for?

So.  This blog is mostly about me.  And my doings.  In things.  It started off as a general blog in what I was doing from day to day, and to log that time period that I took between my Bachelor’s and my Master’s.

Instead, it became something of a weight loss blog; a fitblr, possibly, with everything else sorta thrown in.

That’s okay.  It’s a progression of things, and it’s moving forward, so yay!

Stats:

  • Starting weight: ~192 lbs. (2010 June)
  • Highest weight: 195 lbs. (2010 May)
  • March weight: 170 lbs. (2011 March 16)
  • Current weight: 166 lbs. (2011 April 17)

So.  I’m Marck.  I tend to do a lot of things, from playing piano, video games on the computer, Pokémon training, or photograph capturing.

  • Currently learning Beethoven’s Appasionata.  Mvt 1: 60% complete
  • Computer: my Steam backlog is enormous.  Currently playing Rift and Bad Company 2.
  • Pokémon White is eating a lot of time.
  • I have a Nikon D40, and I mostly use a 35mm f/1.8 prime or a 55-200mm f/3.5-5.6 as my lenses.  I have a 50mm f/1.8, but the lack of autofocus on my D40 makes it hard to use.  Anyone have a cheap D90?  :)
