Gemini (May 21 — June 21)

When your situation seems hopeless and you are convinced that it lies beyond the power of any natural force to amend, something within you awaits the arrival of a deus ex machina. Any moment now you will make a pivotal discovery that will really set you free.

Yeah? I'm waiting...

update: I just read over at Mischiefgurl's that tonight marks the 2nd full moon this month - a blue moon. You are supposed to go outside and make a wish. I think I will - what have I got to lose?

retail therapy helps a bit. Just a bit, mind you.

• silk velvet shirt, marked 80% off from $195 at ICE.

• blood red pedicure.

• DuWop Lip Venom.

• L'Occitane Lavender Face Exfoliating Mask.

Even in his most dreadful of seasons, Pat Hentgen remains a favourite with fans of the Toronto Blue Jays.

"It's so funny, I'm walking down the street yesterday and someone says `Hang in there man, you're going to be all right!"' said Hentgen. "And I'm thinking, `If you only knew what I'm going to announce,' He says, `You're going to be all right man! You're the man!"'

I'm totally worn out from lack of sleep and have a humongous mosquito bite on my left arm which is feverish and grossly swollen but makes me look like I have tricep definition - a shower, a dose of anti-histamines and Big Sleepies are definitely in order.

I'll give 'em this much: at least it was a quick reply.

Last night I tried on a dress at Le Chateau, size small, and it was so small I could not get it over my ass.

Now by ANY weight/BMI/bodyfat% chart, I AM NOT FAT. I'm probably fitter than 99% of the people I know in real life.

Here are my stats:

5'2"/113 pounds/20.7 BMI/19.3% bodyfat.

To compare, I can easily fit into a size 14 girls at Old Navy and a dress size of 0/2 at most stores.

Yet, I think I would have had to lose at least 20 more pounds to even consider fitting into that dress. There's a lot of talk of vanity sizing, but this was reverse vanity sizing at its worst - totally soul crushing in the self-esteem department. I'm very upset that there are clothes for adult women sized so small that one would have to be ridiculously, unhealthily skinny to fit into. Le Chateau needs to get their heads out of their asses and make clothes that don't require a total starvation diet to fit into. Actually, while I'm on that, they should make clothes that fit people shorter than 5'10" as well.

update: copy of this blog entry sent to Le Chateau customer service. I eagerly await a reply.

My mammaries are now part of the "Random Boobs" feature over at Fry Cook On Venus. So, keep hitting refresh or something if you're that damn bored. :boobies

My mom just told me I should take a week's vacation. ME.

I'm sorry, mother, but my professions don't allow for luxuries such as vacations.

Don't people know it's really rude to sit at a restaurant and talk for hours after it has closed? Same with coming in 5 minutes before closing.

Some people, sheesh.
