Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She's just not having the body of someone whose job is a gymnast.

Aha. Je comprends.

Where is this show you're watching? I want to see if they have an ep on bookworms turned into martial arts obsessives.

Small rant: IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THE FUCKING MEETING, TELL ME BEFORE THE ACTUAL MEETING. DECLINE THE INVITE. SOMETHING. YOU'RE MAKING US LOOK EVEN WORSE, WITH THE CONTINUAL LAST-MINUTE RESCHEDULING I HAVE TO DO IN REACTION TO YOUR AVOIDANCE.

Fuck, man.

Starting Over is a total dirty secret of TV watching.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Dude, I go away for two seconds and thread turnover and I miss top 30! Damn you Natter chatterers, damn you!

I'm trying to think of why someone should fund me to study Chaucer

Someone should fund you to study Chaucer because you are fabulous. And you should stop watching things that bring up ouch-y memories. Isn't Ellen on? Judge Judy? You can practice my mantra of the day.

Hey, Ginger. I will actually take some recommendations for Atlanta restaurants (because restaurant recommendations are fun!) although I doubt I'll be able to use them. I am going down with my boss' boss (henceforth big boss) and she is making all of the arrangements.

Speaking of restaurants, I took DH to Pete's Tavern for his birthday which is a very cool restaurant if anyone's ever in NYC. Not only is it very near Tamany Hall, but it's also the place where O. Henry wrote The Gift of the Magi. And they have an amazing $9.95 full brunch complete with Mimosa. Mmmmm......mimosa.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Thanks, Kat and Cindy -- makes perfect sense, but I somehow got stuck on the word "release".

not having the body of someone whose job is a gymnast

Is that entirely an image thing (in spite of not being fat)? I know that for me, even though I'm miles from an elite anything, I get into this ugly "my body betrayed me, the vengeful fucker" rage when I hit a wall. (But I know in gymnastics, size is a huge issue, so yeah, image is probably a bigger part of it for her than for me.)

Oh, now I know what you're watching. For some reason I had it in my head that it was some sort of documentary about this gymnast alone. Oh, yeah. TV's dirty little reality secret, for sure. Heh.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Do they still have Iyanla on as a life coach on Starting Over? My mom is a total O Magazine junky and she loves Iyanla.
