Hm. Not sure if this is good or bad…
3 comments on Hm. Not sure if this is good or bad…On the one hand, going a week without a walk isn’t something I’m thrilled with. Being inconsistent with exercise is part of how I’ve screwed up my knees in the past. On the other hand, it IS nice that when I finally went for a walk this evening (at 10pm, after work, hoping it would help me unwind) I didn’t have any problems with doing my usual…

Music Monday: I’m Your Moon
It’s probably not a surprise that I’m relieved that California’s Prop 8 was ruled unconstitutional. What might surprise you is how I get from that to Jonathan Coulton’s song about Pluto and Charon after it was decided Pluto isn’t a planet anymore. The song is from Charon’s point of view, telling Pluto They invented a reason That’s why it stings They don’t think you matter Because…

Michelle Obama: Let’s Harm Fat Kids
If you haven’t read Kim Brittingham‘s piece on Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” anti-obesity campaign, you really should. When we frame our battle for healthier children as a battle against fatness itself, we’re merely proclaiming open season on fat people. We’re encouraging an already fat-prejudiced society to further demonize those who bear the fat – worst of all, the children who bear it. And: Look at it this…

As if the Biggest Loser wasn’t bad enough…
Now VH1 is doing a version where you not only have to take off work during filming (if your employer allows it) and follow questionable weight-loss procedures but you also have to pay to $10,000 participate! Most people who have trouble losing weight suffer from a lack of motivation. Now twelve overweight teams enter a weight loss competition like no other. Their motivation is money, their OWN…

Music Monday: Witchka
Witchka, like Cheshire Kitten, is from SJ (“S00j”) Tucker‘s new album Mischief. SJ has described the song as being about a young wiccan goth girl coming of age and breaking hearts as she goes. It’s also written from an admirer’s point of view. From her little pointy boots to her pouty lip You can see that she’s thinking herself the shit Who am I to teach…

When You Get Used To People Not Having Your Size…
…you don’t expect them to have your size. It’s like, I don’t know, logic. As Red No 3 put it (emphasis added): See, what’s going on here [at Saks] is a bit of product testing. This is only being launched in one location. They see how it goes, and then decide how to expand. Its like Old Navy a few years ago when they expanded plus-sizes in…

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Tomorrow is Friday. Tomorrow is FRIDAY. Tomorrow is Friday. I showed my dad the “chair squats” exercise on Sunday and he mentioned it would be easier if I lost 50lbs … and I stayed calm and “Every time I’ve lost weight I’ve regained it all plus more. I decided to stop while I’m ahead.” This probably says something about how I don’t…

Magickal Weight-Loss Necklace
I saw this on LiveJournal and…OMG, people, it’s just sooo bad. The description: Magickal Weight-Loss Necklace Mineralogical weight loss? Why not, considering the associative benefits of this pendant of clustered gemstones: sodalite (to regulate metabolism), amethyst (to counter food addiction), obsidian (a cravings reducer), tourmaline (for energy), and clear quartz (to promote positives, dispel negatives). Silverplated. Crafted in USA. 1 1/4″ long (approx.) on 36″ silk cord.…
