I have watched The Devil Wears Prada over one hundred times. I literally come home and begin a cycle of about 2-3 full watchings lasting from around 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. when The Daily Show comes on. I don't really know why I do this, I guess it's just comforting. I ALWAYS get angry when, at the end (and of course I know this is coming since I've seen it to death), Andy just gives up this awesome life of free clothes and bullshit for her scruffy, constant-5:00-shadow having chef (ex-) boyfriend. And then she's carrying that awful bag at the end. And she's not wearing any makeup. Now, I understand that this is supposed to be like a triumphant moment in the film, with her realizing that (I guess?) she abandoned her journalist dreams or something, or that fashion is stupid and shallow and she wants to go back to living a life of unglamorous virtuousness, or WHATEVER but it just pisses me off because HELLO look at all this shit she is giving up and that Emily chick was pretty much a bitch to her for 99% of the movie so who cares if she took her job? I mean, if you're better at her job than she is, that's like survival of the fittest, right? Whatever. Also, it's just kind of insulting because I manage to be stylish and awesome and into fashion and I am not shallow and I don't stab people in the back unless they deserve it (and she so did). In the scene where Andy is leaving the benefit and random hot fashion dude asks her if she wants to come in and meet his editor from New York magazine I ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL scream either audibly or internally "YOU GO GIRL, GET IN THERE AND HUSTLE FOR YOUR CAREER" but she never listens and instead goes home to her busted ass boyfriend with a weak little cupcake and a candle. I just want to blow it out. WHAT is wrong with being good at your job? NOTHING. So why are her friends such dicks about it? Ahhh I really take this movie too seriously and I need to stop watching it. I need to start watching the six season box set of Sex and the City that I got for half price at the Borders in the mall right after I saw the movie.
This whole constant menstruation thing is NOT COOL. I have been bleeding off and on for like, 2 weeks and I'm set to start heavily bleeding in about a day. I have cramps off the charts and my weight keeps fluctuating which is driving me crazy because I am thisclose to getting under 200 (like, 4 lbs away) but my period keeps skewing my results. I just want to claw something to death. Of course, this is around the age that my mother started growing fibroid tumors, so I'm hyper about that, but I also am keeping my head firmly in the sand about it like I do with pretty much every physical issue I have except my weight, which I am so on top of. My double chin is almost totally gone, I can feel cheekbones and hip bones and it is so awesome. I'm so impatient, though. I know it takes time but I just want it done right now, and I am frustrated because I have no energy to hurry it along by exercising due to the above-mentioned period issue. Actually right now I am practically falling asleep. I think I'm going to wash my face and curl up with the new issue of Elle for a while before Daily Show. Ciao. xo
