David Blaine, Moussaoui, and more maternity whining

May 09, 2006 09:37

So David Blaine failed to make the world record for holding one's breath underwater the longest. And frankly it's a shame. Not in a "you pussy, you couldn't do it!" way, but in the way that he spent months preparing for the event (he even shed 50 lbs to optimize the oxygen intake) and I'm sure he feels great disappointment. The fact that he was submerged for a week is a feat in and of itself, and for that he should at least be proud. I'm glad it's over because I was fearing for his health. And anyone who knows me knows I NEVER care that much about celebrities and their well beings. I care about humans and their suffering, no matter how famous they are, and the fact he put his body through that much trauma scared me. I must say I am amazed that one of the tv networks had a 2 hour special on the event. But then again, this shouldn't surprise me. I mean hell, if they can air Who wants to marry a millionaire, they can air anything and Americans will watch it. And this is why we don't have a tv. Moving on ...

So Moussaoui is asking for his guilty plea to be recinded. He was "making it all up" because he thought he was going to die. But now that he will be facing life in jail, not quite the martyrdom he was expecting. Crazy is as crazy does my friends. Too bad so sad, but that's your lot in life. Now be the man you claim to be and accept your punishment.

The rest is more maternity clothing ranting, so adios to those who don't care to read about it.

So there are a total of 4 stores in the whole area that are maternity stores. Three of them are at malls (of course 3 different malls) and one of them has the best clothes, but frankly I'm not spending $70 on a 50% off shirt no matter how neat it is. So I will probably be rotating the same 5 shirts all summer. I just hope by the time I'm 9 months they still fit. I did finally find an outfit for Vanessa's grad, but had to spend $100 because that was all I could find. But whatever. I had to buy new bras, AGAIN! And you know, those online calculators that tell you to measure your ribcage and thenadd 3-5 inches are crap. Accoring to those things, there are 5 different sizes that I should wear. So for shits and giggles I tried on one of sizes. Hell no does it fit. And frankly going to a store to have yourself measured doesn't work too well either, because they're all taught the same way, add 3-5 inches. Thankfully I know how to measure myself, but finding my size is always impossible. And paying $60 for one bra is weighing on my wallet. Cuz let's be honest they've reached gargantuan proportions. Oy vey.

Two more days til we land in KY, wahoo!!!!!
