I'm deeply amused that an entire city smells like gas and that it's all the fault of bon bon's neighborhood!
I think the syrup one was less alarming.
I can imagine so. Plus syrup would just be hungrymaking.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I only caught the syrup one time, and totally missed this gas situation. It's weird how I only go under most of Manhattan.
No. It's not lame. It's more like, "Good-bye skinny clothes! I hope to fit in your size 4-ness again one day. Maybe this time next year? Except you are all spring and summer weight, so maybe in spring 2008."
You can be like the woman (from Joe Millionaire!) in the weightloss commercial who's like, "Yeah, I had a baby and became a BLIMP-O size 10! Thanks to this product, now I'm back to a 4 LIKE I SHOULD BE!" My mother and I rolled our eyes forever at that one.

No icky smells here in Boston, but I got motion-sick on the T... does that count?
Also, in other news, ten blocks of downtown Austin was closed down this morning because of a high number of dead birds discovered this morning. No, I'm not making that up!

Yikes, Theo. That can't be a good sign.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Austin, TX, right?

Jesus. Bird death always makes me feel like the apocalpyse is coming.
I don't know that I should be a size 4, Jesse. I just like that I was. Even briefly.

Yeah. I think if I were ever a size 4 again (and I don't actually think I should be -- I think I should be an 8 or 10), I'd also feel like the apocalypse was coming.

size 4 is a lot like size 14, but, surprisingly, with fewer clothes to choose from, at least in LA. Because there are lots of size 4s but fewer 14s, so the sales racks are full up of 14s.
And, for me, I never really got the sense that I looked different as a 4 from the way I looked as a 14. Even though I lost the weight in about 3 months and kept it off up until, basically, the past 2 weeks. The thing is, I never thought I was super overweight at 14 and I never thought I was skinny at 4.
Size perception is a wacky thing.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Ugh, I feel sick, and I've been away from Chelsea for an hour and a half!
In other news, however, I want to note that Rodney Yee And His Enormous Package are now taken. I think it may have been Ellen who coined that, but whoever did, he has no other name for me since.

I get that. I'm busting out of my 12s at this point. I felt fat at weights I'd kill to be now, and really, feel no more fat (in that I'm no more down on myself) even though I'm at least 30 lbs heavier. I just feel like me, and never felt small/slim/whatever, even when I was. That I was, is only even seeable to me, now that I'm not.
