Eating in shape

Off

(sigh) already I’ve broken my New Years vow of not going to buffet-style restaurants. Twice. Actually, I’ve made no such vow, but thought it interesting that I got a chance to check out two (somewhat) new restaurants in town. The first was Masala Bay, a neat Indian place with a nice buffet lunch. It’s got some neat vegetarian options, some interesting deserts, and a really nice atmosphere. You’d think we had enough Indian places in town, but this one’s definitely a good addition.
The other place is this all-you-can-eat (with some provisions) sushi place on Northfield in Waterloo — Yummiyaki Sushi. For $17.95, you can eat as much as you want to from their special menu in the span of an hour-and-a-half. They actually had to stop offering sashimi because people were taking them to task on the whole deal. Needless to say, the veggie options are there, but I question the worth of the whole deal, as a vegetarian. Otherwise, you can pretty much eat until you’re sick. It’s also got a neat twist to it: it’s one of those “Take all you can eat, but you must eat all that you take” sort of deals, and you can’t do what we all love to do in typical buffet restaurants — namely, waste food.
So I started back up at the gym. Luckily my pre-X-mas training hasn’t left me, and I was able to pick up where I left off. Even increased my resistance level, and my recovery time was also reduced. That’s always a good sign. Makes me feel like I’m actually getting results.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
