I'm so shallow right now. A repair guy came today and he has a British accent. I chatted with him just to hear him talk.
I dated a Brit for a while, but regardless of the cute accent, he was still boring as shit. So, he's a goner.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, god, can I please kill the people in charge of getting medical information out to the public?
CHICAGO - Being overweight is nowhere near as big a killer as the government thought, ranking No. 7 instead of No. 2 among the nation's leading preventable causes of death, according to a startling new calculation from the CDC.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated Tuesday that packing on too many pounds accounts for 25,814 deaths a year in the United States. As recently as January, the CDC came up with an estimate 14 times higher: 365,000 deaths.
The new analysis found that obesity — being extremely overweight — is indisputably lethal. But like several recent smaller studies, it found that people who are modestly overweight actually have a lower risk of death than those of normal weight.
I don't even go looking for medical news, it's just everywhere. I'm so sick of seeing news about drugs and "this is bad for you, do this!" "What! Why are you doing that! That's not what we meant!"
Back in the day, somebody lived their life to the fullest, enjoyed what they were doing, endulged themselves, died early, everyone said, "So sad, but gosh he knew how to live," and moved on. Now it's "we can wring every instant of existence from your beleaguered cells, but only if you obsess over everything your body does." There seems to be a whole lot less joy in existence these days.

FTR, I am not obsessing. I am eating See's chocolates sent to us for National Library Week. It is a good week to be a librarian.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm not sure that's true, Connie. People just obsessed about different things. Polio, for example.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Banana Republic used to be so pointlessly cool, with the whole safari thing. Now they're like The Gap with fewer jeans.
Probably because The Gap owns them and all.
Whoof. I'm having such a frazzling day at work. I really need to walk around the block for a minute just for a dose of fresh air and deep-breathing.
Got no opinion on the Pope except it makes me marginally less cynical than the Texas GOP platform or the theocracy movement.
