I don’t usually post pictures like this at all, but this one seemed just perfect for the Tumblr crowd.

Because we’re all nerds that love to makeout.

Mini Heart Attacks

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:50:00 -0500

Sometimes I look back at a spreadsheet and get the job confused with another. And think I left a bunch of money off or forgot a total.

And then I realize I did not fuck up. And the blood rushes back out of my face.

This happens every couple of weeks.

Why I'm not going to bother trying to read it

[Possible Twilight spoiler follows.] Everything I’ve heard about Twilight suggests that it’s about an abusive relationship that results in a teenage pregnancy. With vampires and possibly a werewolf or two.

The only part of any of that that sounds vaguely intriguing is the vampires. No thanks, I’ll stick with Sookie Stackhouse.

There’s a teen pregnancy? I have only read the first book. I love vampire stories so I can get past the bad writing.

Late for Work Due to Frying Meatballs

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:27:00 -0500

Yep, frying meatballs. I use the mini meatball recipe from Giada De Laurentis. People love them.

The drug problem friend is coming to eat dinner and play Gear of War 2 with Husband. I am making him come over once a week, minimun, so we can check on him.

I have a JLA event tonight that I would rather be at.

Once and for all

When you make a habit of skipping meals, or going a long time between them, your body goes into famine mode, meaning your metabolism slows down because your body is unsure of when it will get its next meal. Eating one meal a day is not only stupid and unhealthy, but it is also not likely to provide the weight-loss results you desire. Instead, you should eat multiple small meals throughout the day (I recently read that you shouldn’t go more than four hours without eating, aside from when you’re asleep).

To wit:

We naturally maintain our weight. After eating extra, we may want less at the next meal. If we don’t eat enough, we can get very hungry.

That’s why crash diets don’t work and often end in binging. Our body enters “famine” mode. This natural mechanism helped our ancestors survive hard times. When our bodies feel food is scarce, we crave much more to get us through. (Source)

Even if you do lose weight, you are likely to encounter health-related side effects similar to those faced by anorexics (source), which include:

Damaged organs, especially the heart, brain, and kidneys

Drop in blood pressure, pulse, and breathing rates

Loss of hair

Irregular heart beat

Thinning of bones (osteoporosis), or fluid-electrolyte imbalance

Death from starvation or suicide

And not to quote Wikipedia, but, wait, yeah, actually, I’m going to quote Wikipedia: “If one’s goal is weight loss, cutting calories below a certain level is both dangerous to one’s health and counterproductive.”

To those who would claim otherwise: What you’ve written is some of the most insanely idiotic stuff I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent posts were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on the Internet is now dumber for having read them. I award you no reblogs, and may God have mercy on your soul.

You do not “Fix” dinner.

You make dinner. You cook dinner. You prepare dinner.

It is not broken. You needn’t repair it.

I will manipulate the English language however I damn please because I fucking can. Where’s the fun in homogenization?

Jesus Christ, is today the day for people whining about other people’s behaviors or what? I am totally guilty of this, but shit. I’m making an effort to stop now thanks to all of you over-whiners.

I’m going to agree with Heather here. I fix dinner everynight. I also drink pop sometimes, so howdya like that?

And many people down South refer every kind of soda as “Coke”. It’s just a general term.

I love chocolate croissants

There is place called H&F bakery near where I work.

I had a greek salad for lunch and then went and scarfed down a chocolate croissant.

I knew this day was just going to get better. :)

OK guys, PSA time.

We might make a lot of jokes around here and talk about all the nasty things we have subjected our body to over the years but there is absolutely nothing funny about liveblogging a serious eating disorder.

And I have to tell you

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 09:25:10 -0500

I cannot wait to get out of town next Thursday.

Not having to see my relatives, not eating a buffet, going mountain biking and taking pilates is going to be so much better.

Red Rock is supposed to be great. I don’t care if no one is there over Thanksgiving. It will still be good.

Trash TV

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 09:00:41 -0500

There is a channel that has popped up in my list called TruTV.

Last night I saw part of a show called Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel. It is about that party on Sunday’s that the hotel has during the summer.

I think I would have to crawl away quickly rather than ever go to that party. All of the guido/meathead/gold chain wearing/slutty people were just to much for me.

It was so crowded and did not look fun.

Just trashy.

I am feeling good today.
