Thoughts for the day
- With all this funeral coverage and Reagan reverance, what is brought up again and again is what he did for the "American Spirit", how he revived it, or gave it back to America or something like that. You can call me European, but I'm a little confused about what this really means. How did Reagan's raising of the spirit made a difference in your American life? Does it mean he made people feel good about themselves, so they had a better time forgetting how miserable they were? Ok, irreverance aside, but I wonder what would have happened to the spirit of America if he had given every citizen medical coverage...
- I wonder if I will be able to stop having a second breakfast every day once Veronika weans. Right now I have a cup of coffee and two pieces of toast with either regular or peanut butter and strawberry jam every day at around 10 o'clock, after I already had breakfast at 8. (Please note the PB&J habit. That should totally redeem me for the unamerican comments above!) It scares me a little how easily I down all this without feeling even a little stuffed.
- I'm getting slightly nauseous with Kate Hudson's omnipresent cuteness. You could call it jealousy but I'm very annoyed with the press pointing out her amazing weight loss after gaining 60 lbs during her pregnancy. To be short, there are several things that are wrong with this:
1. It seems a pregnancy is the only way an actress gets to eat what she wants, because it's the only acceptable reason she can gain weight for.
2. She needs to lose it ASAP after she has the baby because if the fat is not actually covering a fetus, it is digusting, while with a fetus underneath that same fat is rather cute.
3. She supposedly spent 3 hours a day working out losing almost all the 60 pounds in 3 months all the while she was working and also exclusively breastfeeding her baby. Or something like that. While this is almost certainly not true, it will still do wonders to promote a realistic picture of a first-time-mom.
