Bibbling and Scribbling

I'm so freaking tired. I overslept this morning and was several hours late getting out of Green Bay. Isn't that the way of it? You inadvertantly get a few extra hours sleep, but you end up tired the rest of the day. Damnable.
I watched the Super Bowl last night. I found everything about it to be decidedly underwhelming, from the pregame right through to the end. The national anthem was an abomination and the Stones got jobbed by faulty sound work. A lot of radio types were blasting Jagger and the stones today, but i think if the balance on the other guys mikes had been in proper adjustment, it would have been better. All you could hear was Mick and those songs have more of a group sound than that. Mick did, however, get off the line of the evening when he prefaced one of the tunes with "This next song we could have performed at Super Bowl I". That wasn't it verbatim, but you get the idea. The Rolling Stones are truly marvels of our time.
During the game, ABC kept showing these intriguing teasers for their followup program, a new episode of Grey's Anatomy, which I have never seen. The ads sold me so I decided to check it out. It was alright, the first of a two part cliffhanger involving a trauma patient with a bazooka shell lodged in his chest (don't ask). Christina Ricci had a guest spot as the EMT with her hand shoved in the guys chest wound to keep him from bleeding out and therefore keeping the shell stable. Anyway, my point is this. What the hell happened to Christina. It seems she as allowed herself to succumb to the hollywood stick figure syndrome. She used to be a buxom, full-bodied young woman with a killer smile. She's slimmed down so much she's starting to get a hint of that "Mary-Tyler-Moore-I'm-So-Skinny-My-Face-Is-Stuck-In-This-Perpetual-Nightmarish-Grin" look about her. Just a bit. And it distresses me. I've always thought she was uber-hot. It's bad enough that the celebrity machine punishes the women who have to conform to this stereotypical nonsense, that's insulting to the wide variety of sexy feminity to be found in the world. More to the point, at least as it concerns me, I find it insulting to the millions of men like myself who have enough depth to appreciate this variety. I mean, come on, is it really so bad to have a thing for a little junk in the trunk and a decent sized rack with matching curves?
That's all I'm asking.
Well, I guess that was my first rant. I feel a little better, I suppose.
Any Comments? Any Questions? Be quiet as you go.

Amen. Well, not specifically about Christina Ricci. But, on "curves" in general. Ladies, the "rack of ribs" look may be in, but there are those of us who appreciate that a woman was meant to have *curves*! (Note: However, a flab mid-roll hanging over your low-rider jeans is *not* a "curve"! It's a lump.) Hips! Legs! Boobs! And a big glowing smile to top it off! That's a woman.
Hey. Wait a minute. I'm marrying that!
The world needs more men like you guys....
oh yeah, definitely. It's all about proportion and waist-to hip ratio. If you got the hourglass, you got it goin on. I don't care if you're a size 2 or 22.
