How’s about Devil May Care?
Devil May Care is the horse of my friend GG and this horse will Run for the Roses on Saturday.
She is pretty excited and I’m excited for her.
Now I said before that just because I live in Lexington, Kentucky doesn’t mean I have a horse or go to horse races.
I’ve lived in Kentucky for more than thirty years and only met GG in 2004. So we don’t all know each other when it comes to living in The Horse Capital of the World.
I think this may mean if you know me (or are one of my blogmates) that you are only one degree away from a Kentucky Derby contender.
Oh, hey! Does this mean since I was in that movie with Gil Bellows who was in that movie with Tim Robbins and he was in that movie with Kevin Bacon that I am only three degrees away from Kevin Bacon? Or that I’m only two degrees away from Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, and Stephen King? Or that I’m only… Oh, hell. This could go on forever!
So I will be tuning in at about 5pm to watch the race and root for GG, her darling hubby, and their horse, Devil May Care.
Last week I sent off a request for my boss to receive FORBES magazine. The form I used to order the magazine said he’d receive a free hat with his paid subscription. It arrived today…
I didn’t open the package, my boss just brought the hat to me in shock. He said they had sent him a dirty hat. I took the hat from him and gave it a quick look.
"Maybe it’s supposed to look like you’ve already had it for a few years," I said, noticing it even had a rust "stain" on the top.
And then I flipped it over to look inside. O…M…G….
Ick.
I don’t know if this was a "used" hat or if it had somehow gotten wet and then mildewed and rusted or what, but how gross is that???
So I called and they are sending my boss a for sure nice new clean and unused hat — but you know I had to blog about it anyway This thing was so grody that I’ve scrubbed my hands and applied hand sanitizer several times.
It’s now in the trash.
Ick. Ick! ICK! FORBES!!!

DISFIGURED
I had never heard of the movie it was just on my list of newest arrivals for instant play, but I am so glad I chose watch it immediately.
The Premise:
A member of a "fat acceptance" group wants to start an offset fat acceptance walking group — but her plan is turned down by the club because a "walking group" is somewhat of a weight loss group and the club is all about fat acceptance.
An anorexic attends the fat acceptance meeting only to be turned down membership to the club by a majority vote — because she is not fat, she only thinks she is fat…
The "walking group" member goes ahead with her own group and the anorexic shows up at that meeting place. Eventually a strained relationship begins between the two.
So it’s a chick flick about body image and weight "control" issues.
I really liked the film’s handling of the sexual encounter between the overweight woman and a member of her walking group. I was really impressed with the camera handling of this scene. It was done in such a respectful manner towards the two overweight characters, but still so very sensual (just like any other good film work between two normal sized lovers).
It was lovely.
The apartments of these two characters further enhanced their handling of control issues. Both were kept neat, but the anorexic’s apartment was sparsely done with the clean lines of modern furnishings — whereas the overweight’s place was filled to the nooks and crannies with quite an eclectic selection of elements.
I also learned a few weight loss tips from the anorexic, but noting to that extreme. More like enhancements to some of my tools.
