More fucking; less talking?

I'm not sure it's an interesting theory. A statement (probably not interesting other than to Atticus) would be "I find asian women, on the whole, to be more attractive than white women." Which is simply an aesthetic judgment.

An interesting theory would be "regardless of how attractive you find asian women to be, I think there is less variation in the attractiveness of asian women than among white women. In other words, the distribution is compressed into the median. Put differently, there are no dogs among them, but also none that are smokin' hot."

And, on that theory, I think, like most theories developed while talking off the spins, would be discredited shortly after graduation, if not freshman year.

God, time is a motherfucker. It's even more of a motherfucker than snakes or planes.

And just for the record, I don't have an Asian fetish.*

I wonder if the in thing now on college campuses is for white guys to have South Asian fetishes - Aishwarya Rai and all that.

Seriously, what help is there to be had? If what you are trying to accomplish is weight loss and cardiovascular health, the only thing that really matters is that you do it. Do it more (meaning cover more ground, even if you have to slow down) if you want more benefit.

Back in May, I slipped on something on the floor at the grocery store and fell. My right ankle and knee hurt pretty bad so I went home and elevated & iced them. The next day they were still sore but hadn't swelled up.

After a couple days the knee didn't hurt anymore but the ankle was still achy. It got so it only ached when I was particularly active. In retrospect, I should have gone to the doctor but after I picked up a nasty antibiotic-resistant staph bacteria at the ER last summer, I like to avoid doctors.

I spent a long day Sat. on my feet and it started aching again. I really thought it should be healed by now.

Questions: Does it make any sense to go to a doctor now or is it too late to do any good? Is there something I can do to strengthen my ankle so it gets better?
Doctor can't do anything except make sure it's not broken. Tape it up and stay off it.

It takes for fucking ever to get over. I sprained mine bad when I was 12 and it still hurts.

Ty is classy, non? I think you're classy

And NB is classy and flower even though he will deconstruct my lack of sentence structure.

as for my poli sci why try degree I am not current with foreign affairs or read the FT any more or read all the blogs I used to...so I am not equipped to spar. I know my limitiations.
french cuff or not??

Well, there's also calorie intake reduction in that equation too. Reducing portion sizes helps tremendously.

And putting that whole package together of increasing activity level while decreasing calorie intake and pretty much overhauling your whole life is really fucking harder than it sounds.

This is true. Slow and long. When the Kenyans go slow and long, they go slow. and. long. And those MFs are thin. Except the not thin ones (hi Gwink!)

All true, but I was talking specifically about running tips.

I think this is where he was going with that.

Or as soon as Joan Chen's storyline appeared on "Twin Peaks." Interesting that ABC picked up both "Twin Peaks" and "Lost."

Further pictorial proof, [NESFW] with an unrelated disturbing story about the token Asian guy from the unfunny MadTV show.

I have the DVDs now if you want to borrow them.

Yes! That's it! Possibly the one with the demon with the arm-spikes.

We bought the DVDs too. I'm considering a marathon weekend, replete with booze, Chinese takeout, and chemical enhancement. And Buffy looks great on a big plasma TV.

You game?

Sorry. We've never been to a strip club alone. But it's always been a spontaneous group thing, not planned.

Not hung like a giant stallion.

2.

*sniff* The little Thai restaurant on Westheimer next to the Erotic Caberet closed down a few months ago. Their green curry was awesome. It was replaced by a pale imitation, and now I'm back to getting my green curry fix at the much less convenient Thai Spice in the Village.
