Rant Rednesday

It's been awhile since we've done one of these, sorry about that. It sure as hell hasn't been because of a lack of things to bitch about. Me? Run out of things to bitch about? Not bloody likely.

Today I'd like to spend some time bitching about working out/dieting. Can someone tell me how it's fair that it takes nearly an entire year of hard fucking work to build up muscle and lose inches, but only TWO WEEKS for all of it to revert back to flab? Seriously, there's a conspiracy here - I can smell it.

Or how about those people that can do 10 sit-ups a day for a week and lose an inch around their waist? While my smoke-ridden lungs burn on the treadmill for hours and lose .0000082 mm around my schnoz?

Or those people with the freakishly active metabolisms that can eat any damn thing they want in whatever quantity they want and not gain a pound? I take a peek down the cookie aisle and my triceps (ha! what triceps?) jiggle like jello at the sight.

Can't remember the movie or tv show I saw this on, but there was a chick talking to another chick (shocking, I know!) about how she lost all her weight and the now-skinny one says "You don't want to know." After pressing her, she confides "I did a lot of coke." My first thought was "damn, too bad I don't go for uppers".

Now your turn. And please, rant about whatever fries your eggs.

Stupid Saturn Rising

My horoscope today said that "my insecurity has taken on a life of its own". That's comforting. Now I remember why I quit reading horoscopes. Although, I thought I was just making the title up with this reference to Saturn rising, but as it turns out, my astrological chart really does say that Saturn is my ascendant planet right now. I'm super fucking in tune with my planets, so just keep that in mind. It's my secret weapon. In other news, have you ever had that problem where you have absolutely so much going on and so much to do, that you find yourself unable to start and complete one simple task? Take for instance, a blog post. I must have started writing on four separate posts in the last week, yet you can easily see nothing new posted in that time frame. I'm guilting on the fact that I haven't posted in so long. Generally, I wouldn't care so much - at least not enough to feel guilty about it - but the wicked knowledge that there are a few hardy sou

High Tide

On the Piney! About three days after we were there last, the banks could no longer contain the flood water and the river rose to about 10 feet from where our tent stood just a few days previously. I don't *think* The Lodge took on any water, but it would have been a really close call, and for those of you that don't know, The Lodge is easily a 150-ft. walk from the normal river bank. Photographic evidence: And I'm going to try this new-fangled video thing...we'll see if it works for anyone (8 Mb for a shorty):

I'm the Lyrical Jesse James

...which means I steal lyrics, right? I heard that line in a 90's song (coincidentally, the one that I thought said "It's gettin, it's gettin, it's gettin kinda hectic" but I only now realize they're saying HEAVY, not hectic) and I can't figure out why you'd want to promote yourself as a lyrical thief. In other news, I've completely failed at maintaining the calm demeanor I worked so hard at cultivating during my voluntary solitude of just two short weeks ago. It promptly vanished like a fart in the wind upon my arrival at the office. I wonder if the Europeans have this problem after having been holidaying for two solid weeks in August. If any of you work with Europeans, you know that several companies pretty much clock out for the entire month - good luck getting an email reply or a returned phone call. Some get an entire MONTH off. Can you imagine? What does their inbox look like when they get back? I dread the thought considering I&
