2012 is going to be so fun!

You know, if you’re as new agey as I am, or if you like to make fun of the new agey, as I do, then you might have run across the work of Gregg Braden in your travels. I am sure it is because of him that I am manifesting some things in my life […]

I Swallowed an Alien

Sometimes that seems to be the only rational explanation for my girth.
One would think, from my diet, that there’s no way I could house excess flesh on my person. I’ve had people ask me, point blank, “Why are you fat?”
Indeed. I don’t eat high carbs, dairy, sugar or chocolate – and eat so many vegetables […]

It must be Mooozart

This article is pretty much an ad for a music therapy device, accompanied by a pic of a heifer listening to Mooozart. I mean Mozart. I mean Amoodeus. Ha ha! Cowgang Amoodeus Mooozart! I love it!

Allegedly, cows produce more milk when they listen to classical music. I wonder what they would produce if they listened to […]

I wish I had put Ex-Lax in the potato salad

I got slimed today.
The day started out well enough, with a self-administered colonic that looked like the entire Mississippi River was coming out my ass. Good times.
But then later I went to a potluck that had been advertised as a group working with the Law of Attraction. And I found out how easy it is for […]

I AM DIGESTING

I am sitting here in the postprandial haze of a gustatorial high, having made Gratitudesque spring rolls. I say esque because they didn’t turn out quite like the way the Gratitude Cafe makes them, but they were still remarkably tasty. I made I AM (reasonably) INSIGHTFUL rolls with what I had in the fridge - avocado, tomato, cucumber, mango, and sprouts […]

Dr. Phil is an idiot

Maybe you already knew this. Or maybe you lost a lot of weight because of him, and to you he’s a genius. I wish I were you.
The other day, I happened to catch an episode of Dr. Phil, and the few times I’d seen him in the past, I liked his humorous no-nonsense approach. But […]

A dessert to make you want to stay on your diet

Now who wants some cake?

I am a superhero

Something I probably don’t do near enough is toot my own horn. But I have two things to honk about, namely a bladder infection and barotitis. In the past week I sustained both of these, the first from some, er, aerobic exercise, and the second (an inner ear infection) from a plane ride. The bladder […]

Skinny Bitch and other diet plans

And I thought I had tried everything. Here’s a superlist of more diets and lifestyle regimens than I ever knew existed, or had been neatly compiled in one place. Some of them are even in Spanish, so hispanohablantes don’t have to feel they’re breaking cultural taboos by giving up burritos and chimichangas.
At this point, it’s […]

My kind of road food

One of my favorite restaurants on the west coast is hands down, Cafe Gratitude in San Francisco. Taking a road trip down from Oregon to Arizona recently, I had the fortune to celebrate my birthday at Gratitude, and it did not disappoint. The venue specializes in gourmet raw vegan fare, and I suppose it takes […]
