Damage Control:
Do we really need the world to go after Britney's physique during her performance at the VMAs? Especially since the performance itself was so awful that it provides more than enough snark fodder. Wouldn't it be nice if we had one week where no one felt emboldened to make comments about any woman's stomach?

Lose Weight the Easy Way: Lose as many pounds as you want without drugs or lifting a finger. How? Easy--hibernate. Except sadly, you're probably not a bear. Fucking bears have everything so easy.

Grasping at Straws: We scurry through thousands of news items a day (okay, dozens) sensationalizing  "the obesity epidemic" and have seen it blamed on fat moms, working moms, fast food, school lunches, the Internet and everything else shy of Kevin Federline, so the fact that the finger of shame has been pointed at the lowly catfish is making us giggle.

Go Away, Ross, Go Away: Despite its horrible title, we had such high hopes for Run Fat Boy Run, the latest from the team that wrought the fun and clever Shaun of the Dead. But alas. We should probably have known better, since it's the directorial debut of David "We Were on a Break" Schwimmer and he has yet to escape the curse of Friends.

Gymboree Bodies: Remember back in the days when kids exercised by running around pretending to be Batman or Wonder Woman (or both at the same time in a groundbreaking gender role reversal in the history of Let's Pretend)? Yeah, we remember those days. We want them back.

Well that's good to hear because I had catfish for the first time for dinner last night.

I thought Britney looked, well, normal. Her performance sucked, yes, but considering she's had two kids in a short period of time, I thought her stomach looked really good! Heck, I wish MINE looked that good!

That "kids' stationary bike" is the saddest thing EVER.

I went to see Run, Fat Boy, Run tonight and I think the review C4 gave it was completely harsh and unfair.

It isn't Shaun of the Dead and it isn't even Hot Fuzz but it is a hilarious film which had myself and my two friends laughing througout. Mowan plays a great character and whereas it's a little predictable - as most romcoms are - to critisise a film simply because David Schwimmer directed it is just silly. I didn't even realise he had anything to do with it until his name came up at the end with the credits.

It does have a few gross out scenes which personally had me gasping for air with laughter but overall it's a really feel-good film with a good message overall.

Go see it, you wont regret it.

Personally, I still exercise by pretending I'm a superhero. Granted, it's just normal workout clothes, and sometimes it's just running or biking but it's a hell of a lot more fun to pretend you're in superhero or secret agent training while you're doing it.

Damn. Now I'm really tempted to start wearing a cape to the gym.

Crap. Sorry for the multiple comments. The computer and I are not getting along today.
