Have you seen the commercial for "Akavar" - this diet pill that claims "eat all you want and still lose weight! We couldn't say on television if it wasn't true!" Between this one and Denver's Anti-Gym ads, I pretty much want to crawl into the TV and kill whomever is responsible for such utter rubbish. For those of us who consciously and purposefully strive for good health, moderate weight, and overall well-being by trying to eat right, avoiding the drive-thru, going to a gym, and so forth, such things are a bold middle finger to our efforts, and given the amount of effort this lifestyle takes, I can only respond - not with appropriate disdain and tuning out - but with complete rage. I long for the days when vengeance was in fact justice one could feel good about; someone should turn the Anti-Gym guy into a meat pie and feed it to people he would call "chubbies" - that's poetic the way Tamora had to eat her two sons in pies for raping Titus' daughter at the end of good old Titus Andronicus. Granted, Titus ends up dead too - as does the large percentage of the dramatis personae, but what the hell - there are too many people on earth as it is.
Over coffee the other day, my friends and I - geeks that we are - were deciding on what our drag-queen names would be, should we ever change professions. Given that I'm the only girl of this particular bunch, it was funnier to think of myself dressed up like a drag queen - so Shakespearean even - to be a girl dressed up as a boy pretending to be a girl.
My drag name is: Miss Anthropy. Ha.

Anne actually knows someone who has gone to the Anti-Gym. If you ever see her, you should ask her to tell you about it. It involves throwing food at people while they're working out.
I stayed in my pjs until about 6, when my own funk repulsed me so much that I had to bathe. And then I put on clean pajamas. Have I written my paper? Nope. Have I worked on my dissertation? Nope. Blaaaaaaaaaa. Sometimes you just need lazy days.
Hey - you're blogging! Yay. I find it both cathartic and utterly self-indulgent. Fuck the Anti-gym - I did some research on it and became so enraged I had to stop; it's like the KKK for the unskinny. Guh.
Just write the paper! Do it do it do it...haha. I haven't even got a thesis for my OE paper. Wanna trade?
Those Anti-gym commercials are so offensive, they actually make me a little nauseous.
The Anti-Gym guy is simply availing himself of his first amendment rights; however, that means I also get to avail myself of mine in saying that he's a waste of precious oxygen and deserves to be hewn to tiny bits and tossed to dogs. Ha.
Ps. Do I know you or did you just pop in? It's nice either way, but I was curious since I didn't recognize the title...
