Today is friday.
I don't want to work today.
I am going to update my blog instead.
I'm sure that all of you have been waiting anxiously for my next nugget of wisdom to grace the web but you'll just have to be patient and read the whole thing. Buck Up Camper!
CSI Pissed me off last night.
*FAT ACCEPTANCE RANT WARNING*
Last night I was watching reruns of CSI on Spike TV like I am want to do and there was an episode where they found a guy dead in a hotel (not unusual for CSI in the least). As you get further into the episode though (the synopsis is here) you find that there is a BBW convention going on in the hotel and he died because a fat drunk woman passed out on top of him while having sex. She suffocated and crushed him. I will fully admit that I did not finish the episode because I was really disgusted and insulted and I left my house to go watch 300 (more to come on that later). I am not ignorant. I realize that more weight equals greater chance of crushing. I know how the math works. However, I am a very large woman. Larger in fact than the woman in this episode (yes I just realized that if any of you watch it you know how fat I am, I don't care, eat it) and I have had lots of sex where I was on top and didn't crush anyone. I also don't think I could crush someone until they died. I have asked partners before "am I crushing you? are you sure you can breathe?" which probably sounds hilarious to some of you but when you are a big person you think of things like this (and I've slept with some skinny little men). Every partner I've ever asked that of has said "no, you're just fine stop worrying". This leads me to believe that even if a woman my size were to pass out on a man he could at the very least push her off enough to breathe. No wonder fat people have such low self image; We are being told everyday by our favorite shows that if we deign to get a little drunk and want to have a sex life we'll kill our partner and forever hate ourselves. The only redeeming thing about this episode is that the guy that got crushed was apparently a total asshole in real life and would sleep with fat women but wouldn't even speak to them in the elevator. So, good riddance to him and all the men (and women) out there like him. Personally I found this episode insulting and degrading . I'm not saying any of you should feel that way, I am just venting. (it is MY blog afterall...)
*END FAT ACCEPTANCE RANT*
Now, 300.
I Loved this movie!
I realize this movie came out like almost 2 months ago but I just got around to seeing it. When I got all irritated last night I decided to go check out the movies and see if anything was playing that I wanted to see. I've been wanting to see 300 for a while now and I finally just bucked up and went to see it. The visuals in this film are stunning. The cinematography, the costuming, the artisitic desgin. All of it. Incredible. I especially enjoyed the use of music and slow motion photography to enhance certain portions of the film. I'm sure everyone out there but had already seen it so if I ruin some sort of plot point for you just email me, I'll apologize profusely. This movie makes me want to do some reasearch on the Spartan 300 and see what kind of historical base it has and how much was fabricated for the novel. This movie is also the 3rd in a series of movies that make me want to start reading graphic novels.
Oh lord, like I need more geek points...

i'm with you on the angry. I like you was so fabulous that a regular body would not hold all my amazing ness and they had to give me a bigger body to hold it all. And i think i'd have jump on the lungs of someone to crush them enough to kill them mere sex would not do it and i am bigger than they describe the person in that episode as well.
Did you ever read that book "she's come undone" or whatever? well i felt the same about that piece of crap.
Amen, sister, amen.
