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

My god, what would I do with my life without the internet? Have one, maybe?

I feel down a Scientology rabbit hole today. I can't work out why it doesn't get either less or more press. If the people who trash it are 50% right, I'd expect more outrage. If they're wrong, I'd expect it to fade from view more than it has.

But there's all this info, just sitting there, alleging all sorts of batshit crazy stuff, but they still keep on keeping on.

The site I started on this morning (normally wikipedia is my jumping off point for these binges. God bless the citation) seems really pre-occupied with Scientology and Tom Cruise: [link] . Their Scientology tag is getting a lot of exercise, it seems.

However, I did also learn Tom Hanks went from 225 to 170 for Castaway, and people were pissed T-Hard was only looking to get to 200lb to play Bane (not sure how much he weighed for Warrior or Bronson). I do know that Hardy's 5'9 tops, and Hanks is 6', but I've known guys at 6'1 and 170 and they didn't look like shipwreck victims. I've not seen the movie--how skinny did he get? And his walking around weight is 225? I don't expect him to be ripped, and I figure he's carrying the typical amount of paunch for his age, but those numbers all look a bit high to me.

Then again, apparently Kunis and Portman lost 20lb (each, der) for Black Swan, and fuck. Where the hell did that come from? I've nto seen that either, but if they're both under 100lbs where does the muscle for all the amazing ballet strength feats come from? I mean the pretend strength, anyway.

Saw rumour that Benedict Cumberbatch will be voicing a character on the SImpsons. I didn't know people still did that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

IIRC, skinny but not terribly skinny.

Ooh, I think some kind of fly-by just happened. I wish I could bring myself to even go the few blocks to where the action is, but I really can't.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I seem to remember hearing that he gained weight for the first part of the movie.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Pretty skinny. I mean, he didn't look especially healthy.

I want a nap. It's America's birthday, there should be napping. Preferably before the future booms that are going to freak the cat out. Actually we already had one of those. Stupid neighbors. I literally have my fire extinguishers out, just in case.

I'm about to start watching my first ever episode of Doctor Who.
