Lonnie and I watched a movie called Smiley Face last night. Actually, we started the movie around 2:00AM, so it was this morning. Anyway, the reason I’m bothering to write about it is because it’s freaking HYSTERICAL!   

Here’s a tiny quote about the movie that I found online:

A young actress (Anna Faris) and hopeless pothead inadvertently ingests her roommate’s pot-laced cupcakes, and then attempts to manage her day as it goes awry through a series of misadventures.

Self heating coffee? Huh?      You’re kidding, right?!

Heck no! The people over at OnTech have come out with this nifty container which is self heating!    

Next time you’re waiting in line at a coffee shop, frustrated at taking time out from your busy day, remember that whether you are on your way to work, driving to a soccer game, or just on ehw ay home for a movie night, Hillside Coffee is the most convenient and delicious on-the-go option. Available in four great flavors: French Vanilla, Mocha, Hazelnut, or Doubleshot.

I personally tried the Mocha variety. I was astounded when I took the first sip and not only was it super hot, but tasted really good as well! These little suckers are kinda spendy…I’ve seen them from $2-$3 a piece, but if you’re in a bind, I think it’s a good buy. Of course, you want to keep in mind that just because it feels heavy doesn’t mean that’s the weight of what you’ll be drinking. The junk inside that makes it heat up weighs quite a bit from what I can tell. My professional estimation is that you’re getting about 12 onces of tasty goodness. Not too shabby, really!

Anyway, that’s my recommendation for today. I really enjoyed it…it was a pleasant surprise!  BTW - HERE is a video I took of Lonnie earlier. He didn’t want me to post it, but damn it…he’s just so adorable and handsome. How can I resist?

I just downloaded the coolest screensaver known to man! I love it so much…I just have to share it with you guys.

It’s called Word Clock…the name says it all. That’s exactly what it is.

Word Clock is a typographic screensaver for Mac OS X and Windows. It displays a fixed list of all numbers and words sufficient to express any possible date and time as a sentence. Word Clock displays time by highlighting appropriate words as each second passes.

There are two display modes; Linear and Rotary which has a nice relationship with traditional analogue clocks.

Fine typographic control is provided so you can change the typeface, leading, kerning and alignment. Position and resize the display however you like. Font size is determined automatically for the best fit.

I’m not exactly sure why, but I’ve always been fascinated with weight issues. Whether it be a person who is anorexic and is very underweight or the opposite - a person who is obese.  I’m guessing that the fact that I’ve dealt with eating disorders throughout my life makes me much more curious about other people with the same issues.

I was watching a segment on Discovery Health last night. It was about a woman named Connie Jackson, and the title of the show was “The Shrinking Woman.” It’s a pretty fascinating story, really. In 2001, Connie’s weight was over 600 lbs. and she was home-bound. She suffered from sleep apnea, congestive heart failure, degenerative joint disease, uncontrolled hypertension, depression, hypothyroidism, and multiple female issues. She basically couldn’t take it anymore (mentally or physically), so she had Gastric Bypass surgery. Well, she lost over 400 lbs….which was great, but because she had been so big for so long, her skin was totally stretched to the max. The more weight she lost, the more her skin just kinda hung from her body. There was no elasticity left.

Connie decided to have a body lift. Basically like a face lift, but for the entire body. Pretty scary…a very, very risky procedure. Here is an excerpt from Connie’s site:

Post-surgically, my weight began to drop leaving me with buckets of sagging skin. My legs, arms, and stomach violently bounced every time I moved. I was so uncomfortable in my old skin, that doctors performed a “body lift” to remove a 23 pound sheet of skin -five feet long, ten inches thick.

That was the first of three or four surgeries she had in order to remove excess skin. I won’t go into further detail because I don’t want to spoil the story in case anyone out there wants to watch it. It really is a very interesting show…but just in case you’ve got a weak stomach, you should be prepared to see some very graphic video of surgeries.

HERE are the TV listings for the show in case anyone wants to watch it.
