My new years resolution a couple of years back was not to buy any sweets or snack junkfood anymore, because inevitably if I buy the stuff I will have no discipline and eat these treats all at once, so now I can only eat such things when I either make them myself from scratch (like baking a cake), or eat them when I'm a guest somewhere. My sole exception is the occasional ice cream scoop during summer (though not whole pots from the supermarket) and sometimes a danish or something from the baker. It's really much easier not to buy sweets than to maintain eating discipline when you have tasty things in front of you.
And it seemed like a much easier step towards slightly healthier eting than trying to avoid fat or sugar or any of these complicated schemes that involve counting one thing or another and would be bound to drive me crazy or neurotic.

So Torchwood. It is a spin-off from Doctor Who, and the main character is called Captain something (I suck with names). There was some kerfuffle because in an episode that introduced a character he raped someone with a mindcontrol drug only the series presented it such that it was supposed to be charming? And then there was *another* kerfuffle about the series having not enough characters of color according to some US fans, whereas others think that since there's plenty of Welsh characters who are apparently under- or misrepresented on British tv it does address racial issues, just UK ones, and the US fans complaining the series was too white were transferring their issues and being culturally ignorant and insensitive to other countries. Or something. There was kerfuffling anyway. Sorry, I don't know much about the actual series, that was all behind cut tags on my f-list, only the kerfuffle parts were quite visible...
