Started this week already behind here at work---and that may be part of the reason I haven't gotten around to raging against the piece-o'-crap Super Size Me. Though even by the end of the film Sunday night my pique had already largely subsided. It did most everything fat-phobic I'd feared it would do (and a little I hadn't anticipated), plus its "experiment" was badly executed (and sans even pseudo-scientific control). But I'd have had a personal antipathy for the guy even if he hadn't pissed me off with the moviemaking, just from his classic redneck moustache style and proudly-displayed fraternity paddle. So maybe I'll spare ya'll the invective about the dozens of decapitated "anonymous" bodies demonstrating fatness, and the horrid sequence surrounding one guy's stomach-mutilation surgery, and other vile bile of that ilk.

Had a phone message from H., who is back in town. Of course that comes during a crazy busy week for me.

I never was a smoker, really. For a short time I hung out with a group who, if we were at a bar and drinking, would smoke. I joined in, and liked the buzz, but stopped before I got addicted.

My mom was a 2-pack-a-day woman, and it was one of the factors in her premature death at 53 from a heart attack. My dad smoked until he came down with pneumonia. He quit cold turkey. So, I can't give you any words on quitting, other than do it the sooner the better and convert all your friends.

He's very good, but just not very motivated.

Ah, that's been our problem, too. Both R and I are creative folk, but motivated? Not really. We're pretty laidback, so hustling to get established as always been hard. And we've been at this for 13 years!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on our stuff and the website. I'm always looking for ways to improve things. And I wasn't trying to blow you off by not posting the link here. I try to avoid posting identifiable stuff in a public post. I'm kind of paranoid that way.
