Hivemind question: Do other people have sporadic periods where their metabolism seems to go into hyperdrive? I am in one of these weird phases I get every few months where I am OMG hungry unless I am actually eating, but can still lose weight as long as I stay somewhere in the neighborhood of eating carefully (almost a pound and a half since Sunday, and I've been a couple of points over my WW daily points and had dessert both days.)
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Wasn't one of the Madonna kisses a spoof of the Madonna kiss?
I think the Christina A. one was.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
No, the Britney Spears and Christina kisses were both during the same performance.

I thought it was a response to the Britney one though.

I know it's kind of obvious, but are you getting more exercise or more sleep than usual?

Yes. Along with exercise and lack of sleep, I've found that certain weather patterns/seasons can do this. In the spring I think I could eat a bushel of strawberries covered in 10 gallons of whipped cream, and not gain an ounce. Sure, I'm a bit more active, but the combination of extended daylight and sheer joy of life seems to also burn calories.

Wish I were, but nope.
Good to know, Calli. Especially since I just had a second breakfast, and already want lunch.

I suspect that my family wants me to spend a very long time with them at Christmas, from Dec. 24th to Jan. 3rd. And while I probably could get the 3 days off that I'd need to do it, I really don't want to spend that much time without internet access, where I'd also be sleeping on an ancient twin bed.

I can't figure out what we should do in Afghanistan, so it's hard for me to be real critical of policy there. It feels like every choice sucks.
I always think when all the choices are bad, pick one of the bad choices that don't involve continuing to kill people.

True, but will more Afghans die if we pull out? Who can predict that?
