Eat bad

There is no peace to be had from Thanksgiving, ever...unless your idea of peace is having a bloated stomach and a feeling of being drugged and woozy and needing desperately to take a long walk. The only sense of thankfulness I presently have is due to Oscar season ad revenues. As for stuffing myself...forget it. I spoke Monday with Flags of Our Fathers costar Adam Beach (awfully nice guy) and he was in the fourth day of a ten-day fast. Meeting Beach and being told this was a message from the Health God, I later decided. No eating rich foods. Pigging out, bad. But for those of you who still subscribe to the Thanksgiving mythology, HE hopes you have a nice one tomorrow.

You see too many movies as well. As long as you're feeling ascetic, why don't you cut those out for the holidays.

Well, I'm thankful that Poland's semi-sentimental list raised my spirits a little before reading the typical Wells piss-down. Have a happy weekend, all. Doubt I'll be back.

I think that for most people, the feeling Wells describes is indeed their idea of peace. And what the hell is the Health God? The whole second half of Wells' post doesn't make sense.

While *you* overweight heifers get all sick and bloated on your fatty foods, *I'll* be fit as a fiddle, because *I'm* smart and you're not.

Ass.

Feasting is an art. If you don't get it then you are stupid. Just like drugs, alcohol or anything, one doesn't gorge.

Grow up and learn moderation. There is happiness in moderation.

Jeff, I don't think your, er, weight, is the aspect of your physical appearance you need to worry about:

Get a haircut - and a real job, ya hippie!

Great point, Min. Life belongs to those who can surf the middle ground. Never weighed down by obsessions, and never repressed by bitterness.

I'm mainly going to spend this weekend enjoying the films of my favorite fat ass director- Robert Altman. Well, he's my favorite director, but he was blessedly not L.A.-image-obsessed. The man could care less what you thought of him. He just did his thing.

Have a terrific holiday, everybody. And for most of you, that's sincerely said.

To paraphrase something Robert Heinlein once wrote: Excess in all things. Moderation is for monks.
