First day of Lent. Let the great purging of the sugar begin.

Even though I've finished the first act of my screenplay, it's like I haven't processed that yet, and my brain is still like, "Why aren't you working on it, you're wasting time!" And then I have to be like, "Shut up, Brain, I'm not working on it 'cause it's done!" And Brain is like, "Well, then. Carry on." Yes, I have conversations with myself all the time, why do you ask?

Today the wonderful [profile] flyingstalinsmay be in the Brandeis area, though he's not sure what time, so it is difficult to figure out when or if I can see him. I would very much like to, but knowing me I'll miss him simply 'cause I'm not sure where he is.

Those V-8 commercials drive me crazy. Their premise is okay, if a little crude—every time somebody fails to eat their daily recommended servings of vegetables, somebody chastises them with a whack on the forehead. But the proposed solution is that they “could’a had a V-8,” as if a V-8 is, in fact, an adequate substitute. Yeah, it probably does in fact have the vitamins that one normally gets from vegetables, and you’re better off grabbing a V-8 than a can of Coke, but there’s more to vegetables-versus-V-8 than vitamins. You get fiber and roughage from vegetables that regulate your system that no juice can give you, and if you’re going to consume that much sugar anyway — even if it’s natural sugar, it’s still sugar —you should skip the juice and eat the fruit with its actual health benefits.

Sorry to soapbox, but way to capitalize on the bone-ignorance about nutrition of consumers who want to get thin and healthy quick.
