Music Monday: Save Yourselves!
No comments on Music Monday: Save Yourselves!Okay, I’ve posted Seanan McGuire’s song Wicked Girls before. (Pre-orders for the album? Available. Posters of the lyrics? Also available.) If you haven’t heard it, this is how she performed it with friends at Orycon. Left to right: Sunnie Larsen, Michelle “Vixy” Dockrey, Seanan McGuire, Tony Fabris, Autumn. What you may not know, if you don’t read Seanan’s blog, is that she’s into horror. Horror movies,…

Way Outside the Bell Curve
Per the US CDC’s Anthropometric Reference Data (PDF) 5% of adult, non-pregnant women in the US weigh less than 111lbs, and 95% weigh less than 250lbs. 90% of US women weigh between 111 and 250lbs. This is why I consider myself a statistical outlier, weight-wise. As I’ve noted before, in some ways I’m a freak of nature — most humans simply can’t weigh as much as I do. And…

Hosting Thanksgiving? Tips to reduce stress
Okay, this is kind of US-centric, but The Onion posted some funny tips to make hosting a family Thanksgiving less stressful, including: Put the adults at the kids’ table, and keep the kids in the car. To keep your mother happy, seat her directly across from her one good child who actually did something with his life. Never host Thanksgiving Some other options: Tell everyone you’re Canadian and…

I Love This Dress
Evans calls it a “blue velvet drape pocket dress”. I’ve been calling it the “Beth Ditto dress”, “blue velvet dress”, or “the dress” for short. Oh, and it is — at least, it feels shorter than this picture appears (perhaps because the picture was taken by someone taller than I): The dress arrived weeks ago, but I haven’t had an occasion to wear it. The…

Oh, CNN
This blog post got my hopes up with “Dieting gets you nowhere” and then dashed it with the “but it works for kids!” ending. No, people, turning off the TV or passing up a Happy Meal will not automagically turn a fat kid into a slender one. Sorry.

Things to Read: Scandals That Aren’t
This bit on Fast Food Restaurants Not Single-Handedly Ending Child Obesity is hysterical. Yes, some fast food restaurants pledged to make “healthier” choices available, and yes, they make some “healthier” choices available. Is it really a surprise that you might have to, gasp, order the milk and apple slices instead of pop and fries? Hey, here’s another one: Instead of whining about TV ads, why not…

Many Obese People DO Look Great The Way They Are
It’s hard to read this and not just shake my head. [M]any clinically obese men and women think they’re already at a healthy weight. In a study of 2,056 obese people in Dallas County (all participants had a body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or higher), researchers asked each participant to look at nine illustrations of bodies, from very thin to very obese. The volunteers were…

Note to Self
Dear Self – Yes, if you are going to spend your weekend wandering around a warehouse helping to make a music / circus / vendor event happen, then by all means, take an extra B12 if you think it will help. Even an extra 2500-iu, if that’s what you have handy… But don’t be surprised if you are totally dead in following days when you drop back…

Ah, Teh Sex ;)
(Misspelling intentional!) Marianne posted about sex yesterday, and Red No. 3 followed up with a post today. So, it’s kind of a blogaround! :) I did a general post on sex a few years ago. A few things I’d add now: At age 44 I have had more partners than the “average American woman”. At age 28 I’d had zero. At 30 it was one or…
