Note to self, things to talk about when more coherent:

- Polysaturation and where that point is for me
- Why I take my cat to a cardiologist and spend hundreds of dollars on surgery for a guinea pig, but can't usually be bothered to go to the doctor myself
- My recent, unexplained fascination with America's and/or Britain's Next Top Model (not helped by this photoshoot from BNTM *drool*)
- Sociability and shyness
- Indicator of really f'ed up perspective: using Rachel Weisz and Kate Winslet as two examples of "why fat is back in hollywood". Riiiight. "Fat".

Right now though, I'm going to try and get some sleep. Hopefully that trick will work this time.

"Why Fat Is Back in Hollywood"

[hammercock.livejournal.com]

The title is idiotic and would have made the article somewhat less offensive if "fat" had been replaced with "curvy." This part, though:

As one male studio executive who asked not to be named says, “Do we really want stars to look like the rest of us? If actresses represented the way the public really looks, the mother from Gilbert Grape would be a sex symbol.” An admittedly unrealistic proposition.

is really insulting and stupid. And, hello, even if the public are getting heavier overall, someone like the woman he describes is still 3-4 sigmas off the curve. Moron.
