Mass
Googled "Why can't I gain weight?" and here's what I got:

11 reasons people fail to gain mass

1. Too many simple carbs, not enough high-quality protein.

2. Weight workouts not intense enough to trigger new muscle growth.

3. Inconsistency, missing workouts.

4. Overtraining. If muscles aren't allowed to recover, they won't grow.

5. Not doing the very routines (multi-joint) that can really accelerate muscle growth, such as barbell squats, decline leg presses, dead-lifts, bench presses, dumbbell rows and other dumbbell routines. But these must be performed with heavy enough weight to bring on severe fatigue in 5-8 reps.

6. Not doing enough free-weight routines; too much focus on selective equipment. Free-weight routines force stabilizer and synergistic muscles into action; the more muscles worked per routine, the more likely new mass will result.

7. Not doing cardio. Three times a week for 30-45 minutes will do the trick, and don't go through the motions. Get the heart pumping good.

8. Doing cardio on the same days as weight-training. Doing cardio before weights will strip the body of energy needed to perform muscle-blitzing routines. Doing cardio after weights will interfere with muscle recovery. It's okay to do brief, light cardio as a warm-up and cool-down, but save the actual cardio sessions for their own days.

9. Not getting enough sleep (7-8 hours).

10. High alcohol intake.

11. Not drinking enough water.

Better make sure I start following all of them if I want to stop seeing Dorothy's Tinman staring back at me through the bathroom mirror.

Music
Obsessed. Mariah Carey's new single is hitting airwaves soon! I have no idea why I'm still a fan of this 40 year old, married, occasional (wait, most of the time actually) fat-ass...guess I'm still very much in love with that angelic voice of hers....damn.

Movies
Please come out soon, Transformers. The graphics and a Ms. Megan Fox are the main reasons I'm all pumped up to catch this one on the silverscreen.

Mouth
Hoho, I just had my stitches removed today and according to that *&^%$, my wound's fine. Sad to say, a humongous ulcer has taken over its place and it is still hurting everytime I yawn....damn damn.

Cheers,
Timo
