Ok, so everyone knows about whatshisface winning whatstheshow, the kid who is exceedingly toolish and says fierce every five seconds.

Of course, now this is an phenomenon, "fierce".

I'm slightly annoyed, because now whenever I go to sing "My Hair looks fierce" by Amanda Lepore (not quite work/home safe, I saw a booble hanging out somewhere), I'm going to have to stop and explain that no, I am not attempting to be cute and cool and whatever else it is they decide that dude from whatevertheshow is, but instead I am singing a song by a transsexual.

Whoa! She has a store!

TARAKO!

There is something about this kid... I don't know what.

Also, the camera work is hilarious, and the song is catchy.

I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it here, I'm sure I have in my myriad "zomg weight loss commercial!" posts.

There is this stuff called slimquick, they have commercials with cartoon-people.

When it first came out, I realized that the woman's thighs did not appear to touch. This struck me as weird, here is this woman caricatured to be obese, but her thighs do not touch. How can you be "fat" but not have touching thighs? Yes, I know, you could carry your weight up high or something. But even "not fat" people normally have touching thighs. Wtf.

So several months later, tonight, I am watching telly, and this commercial that I have decided is weird, comes on again. What do I notice, other than her having massive collarbone pokeage. This strikes me as odd, as last I knew, super-prominent collarbones meant you were a walking toothpick.

Silly Slimquick and their commercials.

So after drinking a can of my superawesome spicy V8, I realized that the can says "100% vegetable juice", but there are ingredients other than vegetable juice in it, like ascorbic acid, salt, flavoring, and citric acid, but not in that order.

Reading "100% vegetable juice" makes me think that the contents of the can are 100% vegetable juice. Not 99% vegetable juice and 1% other stuff. This label is misleading.

Sure, it says "From concentrate with added ingredients", but then it's still not 100% vegetable juice. It's 100% vegetable juice with added ingredients", which is not what it seems they are trying to use as the selling point. They're trying to say that V8 is 100% vegetable juice.

Also, what is the deal with "flavoring"? What is it? I can't complain that it might exist in crazy quantities, because it's the next to last item on the list.

I think I'm going to have to email V8 and ask how it is that 100% vegetable juice is not 100% vegetable juice.

I went grocery shopping last night, to buy some fruit and spicy v8 so I wouldn't keep spending 4 dollars at 7-11 on a small apple and a 12 oz bottle of spicy v8.

The apples I wanted at Kroger were very sad looking. The bananas were all very green. Who the hell eats a green banana?!

So I turned around, and saw Asian Pears. I've seen them before, don't get me wrong, but I've never bought one. They were $2/lb, so I bought one. It was interesting, not peary and appley, but at the same time peary and appley. I wasn't expecting it to be as not-sweet as it was, but it was still good.

It's like the time I went to a Chinese buffet at home and had some longans. I wasn't too keen on them, I think it's because they were in syrup and looked not too fresh. It wasn't bad... just new, I guess.

So back to apples. I was looking around at all of the apples (there were at least 10 varieties, apple overload much?) and the nicest looking apples were Sonya Apples. I got two, but haven't had one yet. It's supposedly similar to a red delicious and golden delicious, but sweeter. The two I bought were a bit pricey, perhaps I will have one and then write about it, as is wont for a person making posts on the internets.

I've got a few stored-up bitches.

Today's is about PMS.

A few days ago I was emo.
A day later I had broken out in awful acne. Couldn't figure it out for the life of me.

Then I check my super-awesome menses-tracker and realize that in about a week, the British are coming.

Today I am hungry beyond belief, and have no qualms about bottoms-upping a jar of salt. I don't like adding salt to anything, except white rice.

I'm annoyed, because I have eaten way more than I normally do, and that womanly nag says "zomg you are going to be bloaty mcbloaterson tomorry and your new pants won't fit!".

Stupid PMS.
