JeffLivesHere: Health: April 2006
http://jeffliveshere-health.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 20, 2006. I've been thinking about a post about the Fat Acceptance movement for a while now, because there is something that has bothered me about a lot of things associated with that movement. Reading stuff in the Big Fat Carnival makes me feel that now-familar feeling that I must be missing something, that I need to read more about it and listen more to that community, because I must just not get it. But then I read this post over at peggynature's blog. Weight is just as silly as thinki...

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Sleep In, Dammit. This was one of those rainy mornings I came outside with my bike, my rain-gear on (such as it is), and was thankful that it was pouring. Because at least when it's pouring it's usually a bit warmer *and* then I don't even pretend that I can try to not get soaked- I just dive right in, so to speak, and enjoy the wetness more.

Friday, April 14, 2006. I've hunted and hunted for the exact quote, but I've lost my "The Myth of Sisyphus" book, so I'll just paraphrase Camus. (I mean, what's the point of being an existentialist philosopher if you don't have people misquoting and oversimplifying your points, really? He notes that it isn't people that are absurd, or the world that is absurd, but our relationship to the world that is absurd. I'm sure Camus had some deep reasons for thinking this (if he did! But the thing is this: This is.

Wednesday, March 29, 2006. Just What I Needed, More to Think About. So my first therapy session was pretty much as expected. A few nice suprises that have nothing to do with therapy at all, really: It didn't rain when I went into SF for my appointment last night (I had some worries that if it rained a lot I'd use it as an excuse to not go). Also, it's not so far from 24th street BART, Papalote(sp? Some things that were not much of a suprise, therapy-wise:. There was a clock prominently displayed. It's we...

JeffLivesHere: Bike Edition: June 2006
http://jeffliveshere-bike.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 27, 2006. I was once told (ok, more than once, but mostly by the same person) that my blog is too negative. I focus on negative stuff. And it can be very true. Cutting me off, or worse, a left hand turn from the opposing direction, almost hitting me, or some such. And I try to think about the times that I'm uncaring and unthinking- the times that I do something bad to others. But why is it that the kind stuff, the nice stuff, which really can be the norm ( most people don't cut me off.

Sunday, March 26, 2006. I stumbled across an interview with Sharon Salzberg. Who has written some books on the subject of faith in general- from but it seems not completely limited by her own Buddhist perspective. One of the things she said struck me as particularly meaningful to my present situation, as well as a strong sense of empathy that I got when I read somthing k recently talked about in her blog. Not sure. But it does. Posted by Jeff Pollet at 7:53 PM. View my complete profile.

Thursday, April 13, 2006. And thinking dirty thoughts about your professor (c'mon, "O Captain, my Captain! Should probably be said over said 'captain's' lap, shouldn't it? Maybe it's just me. Not easy to do. Hopefully I'll get better, but for now.it's time-consuming and frustrating and it makes me wonder why I bother patching tubes at all and don't just buy a bunch of spares, really, because.well, there I go getting frustrated.

One of the best things for a woman to hear is that she is sexy," the 21-year-old actress, star of "Match Point" and "Lost in Translation," said in a statement.

Thursday, April 20, 2006. Best Political Poster. Ever. Posted by Jeff Pollet at 7:59 AM. Wednesday, April 19, 2006. Moving, Moving, Moving Right. I'm not in the give-up-and-move-to-Canada mindset or anything (particularly since Canada just elected the most right-wing group of people it ever has, apparently); I think that the freedoms we have still lend themselves to some truly progressive possibilities, and the backlash against Bush Jr. doesn't mean nothing at all. Filed under: Comics as Life. Since it t...

JeffLivesHere: Health: July 2006
http://jeffliveshere-health.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 20, 2006. I guess what I'm facing is that I'm hitting something of a wall as far as my progress visually goes- and that wall is making me feel more body (self-)conscous, not less. And again, that doesn't feel particularly healthy, emotionally. I've started to change my relationship to my body, and I'm not entirely happy with the new relationship. It may be too much of a change of lifestyle for me to really do it. Or maybe I'll do it slow and steady? Posted by Jeff Pollet at 7:03 AM. Blogs ...
