Did she lie though?
I don't get why she felt so impassioned to make a random video on it for no reason, that's a bit sad, but I can't really fault what she's saying. Not that it's ok to just attack fat people for no reason and comment on their weight without any cause to, but I have little sympathy for the "fat acceptance" movement that tries to paint obesity like it's this natural, normal healthy range of weight.
I like Magnus as well, he's entertaining.

I'm fat and wish I weren't. I like food. Boy do I. Plus, I fear hunger, like you see on ads to donate. You know the ones.
That said, I can sort of get "fat acceptance", because after a while, it gets hard to deal with ones own issues. However, obesity is a problem, however one paints it. I cannot stand the ones who paint it as outright "pride". Including those BBW models you see now. I'm fat, but I still prefer a WASPy, svelte ballerina any day.

Annoyed with my apple TV for dropping the stream 3 times in a 20 minutes show so now I'm watching Emperor's New Groove on DVD and Snuggling with my kitty.
Busy weekend coming up with busy week at work again next week but at least I have the whole weekend off plus a holiday.

Plotting my fourth of July bbq contribution and wondering how I can make getting together with Judi when I'm back east.
And charging devices.
So I'm doing a lot.

I remember that movie being really good, but I haven't seen it in years. I'm kinda afraid to rewatch it and risk proving my past self wrong.

Police searching for shooting suspect in the Hawthorne Bridge area
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index...iver_index
"A portion of the Blues Festival is closed Friday morning as police search for the suspect of a hit and run crash that included a shooting.
Police officers in tactical helmets and shotguns were seen speaking with security staff by Waterfront Park at the west end of the Hawthorne Bridge. The Special Emergency Reaction Team and Crisis Negotiation Team have responded to help with the incident, police said in a news release."
"All traffic on the Hawthorne Bridge is closed. Traffic on Southwest Madison Street at Third Avenue is being diverted, as well as Second Avenue from Jefferson to Main streets."
Hmm, I guess I'll have to get creative about how to get home. 
(Police car sitting at the on-ramp to Hawthorne Bridge as I drove by this morning, and there's a helicopter circling in the sky overhead.)
Anyway, work time...

Thinking of having a shower.
Would have had one earlier but my daughter used all the hot water.
I just let her go because I love hearing her sing. :-)

Stepping outside for a minute then coming back in to make some delicious bacon alongside a homemade cheesy hashbrown bowl, complete with eggs, cheese and diced ham.
Yeah... my guts will say "fuck you" later, but my taste buds will love me NOW.
