The Riddler Strikes Again!

Remember that annoying Batman movie with Val Kilmer and Nicole Kidman? In the movie's defense, I can't stand Val Kilmer, so I tend to find any movie with him in it, annoying. Except for "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang".

My point, Vanessa? Oh yes, the Riddler created a device that would drain the brains of Gotham's citizenry as they watched television. I think that George W. Bush has one of these devices and has begun to use it.

After his speech Wednesday evening about his "new plan" for the Iraq War, my mother told me she thought he had a point because if we don't fight this war over there, they're going to be bringing it over here.

Uh, isn't that the same arguement he used originally to hornswaggle everyone into this war? And my mother hasn't shown any signs of Alzheimer's, so I've got to assume that Bush has purchased one of those brain scrambler devices from the Riddler. I also watched him on "60 Minutes" on Sunday (I covered my head in tinfoil to "foil" the Riddler's device) and guess what? He's still an arrogant ass.

DVD Review

"Lucky # Slevin" Filled with a slew of big names such as Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, Ben Kingsley and Josh Hartnett, this movie has a dark and twisty plot that is given away in the first ten minutes of the movie. If you really pay attention, that is. And the end is wrapped up a little too sweetly for a movie of this genre. Other than that, it's fun to watch and when the pieces do come together in the end, it's enjoyable to pat yourself on the back for being so clever.

YOU on a Diet update!

I haven't been griping about the new eating habits because other than the higher grocery bill...

can you explain to me why food with less stuff in it costs more?... it's not been like a diet at all.

So today was the two week mark and I've lost 9 pounds and 2 inches off my waist. I also feel better and don't get indigestion as often as I used to. But other than not feeling like I'm starving to death, the most surprising part was how yummy some of this good-for-you food is! Okay, so honestly, a bag of Ruffles and a tub of French Onion dip will always taste better, but I don't feel like I'm suffering with yucky food.

THE SUPREME WISDOM OF THE QUEENOSHEBA

It's the one thing all fat girls hate to admit. There are no magical diets or pills out there that will make you thinner overnight. Don't you think if these pills and/or diets actually worked they would even have to advertise? All it would take is one woman telling another and BAM!, the inventors would be multi-billionaires. We all know the truth. The only way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. Yeah, it sucks. But when you're 43, it beats the hell out of dying too soon.
