special k is not brimstone

The problem with deciding to go on a diet, even if you're not going to announce it to the world, is that if you're me, you immediately think of food. Even if you've been good and not munching on all the yummy things out there, you immediately think of all the good things sitting somewhere, mocking you.

Also, Special K tastes remarkably like cardboard, only worse because it's so similar to frosted flakes that you keep expecting the sugar rush. And there is no sugar rush, my friends. None.

I wonder if Dad's inadvertent diet trick would work. The man drinks milk like... I lack comparison because he just goes through so much.

Siiiiiiigh.

Thirsty. verrrrrry thirsty. Kay, I'm off to read and kill the innocents. Wait...

Torrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Comments on comments should follow tomorrow, but first, this little gem from my mailbox:

Tori Amos' classics, rarities, remixes, and previously unreleased music finally come together for A PIANO: THE COLLECTION. Presented in deluxe packaging that resembles Tori's beloved Boesendorfer piano keyboard, this five-disc boxed set will be available September 26 at regular retail outlets.

Produced by Amos, the career-spanning collection highlights selections from her studio albums as well as B-sides and numerous unreleased songs, combining well-known studio versions with rare alternate mixes, including several songs Amos recently remixed for this project. Tracks included will also feature material from the Sony years with music from Scarlet’s Walk as well as The Beekeeper. A PIANO: THE COLLECTION also offers a revealing and extensive track-by-track commentary penned by Amos, who discusses the inspiration behind the songs and albums and explains why they were chosen for this boxed set.


The sound you just heard? Me falling to the floor twitching.

edit: I see mythosidhe beat me to it. I figured it'd be her or T, or even both. ;)
