They could have started with a good writer. I would like to think doing the story first, then building the visuals around it, would result in a better product than vice versa.

When you don’t give a shit about visuals, movies like these are the fucking worst. Dude, could you really not have diverted say, $100,000 from the CG and put it towards a better screenplay?

I just watched Aliens again this week and was wondering how this was the same guy that did Avatar.

Soulmate is exactly how I referred to Sheridan, which is how my reincarnation theory developed. I read once that spiritual systems that espouse reincarnation refer to souls who meet in multiple incarnations as soulmates.

Just reading the headline made me feel dirty.

One of my most beloved pets ever* had a stroke or something while I was out partying with my friends at the Renaissance Fair. I came home to find him in a pile, conscious but unable to move. I knew he wasn’t going to last long so I tried to make him comfortable and let nature take its course, which was quick. I was…

My father was kind of a shitty father, but he was a good veterinarian who was well-loved by his clients. He offered this service and I remember one instance when he and a dog owner took said dog to their favorite beach for it. It was quite moving.

I’m not saying keto is THE cure to BED. But I’m now walking around thinking “How is this so easy? This can’t be right. Twenty years of compulsive bingeing, twenty years of trying everything else to stop, 12 step programs, diet pills, self-hypnosis, intermittent fasting, prayer, meditation, giving up, when all it ever…

I’m limiting my sweetener consumption for the same reason, but taking things a week at a time. I’ve been eating at a very modest caloric deficit and next week I’m going to lower it a bit to see what happens. I haven’t been trying to lose weight recently but just stop bingeing and am genuinely surprised that keto has…

I’m reading a ton on the subject, both clinical and for a lay audience, because there are no specialists in my area. I’m forcing myself to finish my latest book because the whole gist of it is “Don’t binge. Just don’t.” Stretched out thinly over a hundred pages. I want to hunt the author down to kick him in the shin.…

People is classy?

Not all morbidly obese people have binge eating disorder. But I’m in recovery from it and while I did not have surgery, I have a strong suspicion that if you don’t address the eating disorder, we’ll find ways around a surgically reduced stomach. The compulsion to binge is like being possessed.

No one can believe I weigh as much as I do and wear the size I do. Weight distribution is weird.

Once upon a time, Gmail put some news headlines on your e-mail page that it based on words found in your messages. My first name is Anna so when Anna Nicole Smith died, followed promptly by her son, Google made sure I was well informed on the matter.

I have a cool story for every time someone says “Don’t shop hungry.” I once shopped thirsty and came home with about 10 kinds of beverages and hardly any food.

I got a used Wrangler with low mileage for its age that I could afford to buy outright. I’ve had it less than a year but love it so far. My dream car is a Challenger, but muscle cars are a bad idea for the climate I live in. I checked out AWD Chargers but the Wrangler I bought was a better financial choice. I briefly…

LOL, I almost bought a Dart because it seemed the more sensible of the two cars I was considering. I went with the other one because I’m 42 and had never had a “fun” car, only practical ones. The “fun” car? Not on this list.

Instead, they prepare thoroughly and thoughtfully and learn what keeps people interested.

Or he could just bring that chest hair on over here. I love hairy gingers.

If you think the hummus is bad, go look at the vodka aisle.
