I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well, huh:

New (and old) research shows that exercise may actually do fuck-all for weight loss. Oh, and diet doesn't do much either. Basically, trying to lose weight is a big waste of time all around.

But according to that bastion of feminism the New York Times, women today are less happy because we spend less time dusting than our mothers did. Seriously.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crap. Does Fox put House online or something? I am so screwed. Why do I watch so many shows?? A normal person would not try to follow this many shows.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Seriously. I hope some of these shows get canceled soon.

Happy birthday Matilda!!!

Oh, I think they do! Of course the page won't load for me right now...

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

For a woman, time with her parents often resembles work, whether it’s helping them pay bills or plan a family gathering. “For men, it tends to be sitting on the sofa and watching football with their dad,”

More evidence that My Family Is Not Like Other People's Families. Apparently, there's less "Tell me again about Thomas Becket?" in other households.

Yeah, me too. Unless more elderly people live with/near their daughters than sons? I mean, my mother does more "work" for her mother, because she lives downstairs and is mostly blind. Actually, I think my father does most of the work there, so that still falls apart.

Seriously. I hope some of these shows get canceled soon.

Monday was two hours of Dr. Who followed by Heroes.

My night last night: 7pm: Gossip Girls (I don't think this is going to last much longer
8pm: An hour of frantic cleaning instead of watching SVU
9pm:Bones
10pm: House
11pm:How to Look Good Naked
And I was cleaning my house during commercial breaks.

One thing I like about this place is the quirks and oddities.

I think we're made entirely of quirks and oddities.

Hell, *I* could have told them *that*....

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

Basically, trying to lose weight is a big waste of time all around.

Except of course, when it works. I mean, it'd be easier if it were always a big waste of time, wouldn't it? Too easy.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Exercise may not do much for weight loss, but I suspect it can be proven that it does nice things for overall health/strength.

(Also, my personal experience with exercise shows it tends to enhance weight loss attempts....)
