Stuff about stuff
Dec. 11th, 2013 10:18 pmUgh, once again I overestimated how much I could eat tonight, and now I'm all bloated & icky feeling. Stomach, why can't you just get it together & heal already? This entire year it's been like my stomach is my arch nemesis or something. I feel like it's busy twirling its metaphorical villainy mustache at me right now, and I don't appreciate it. Knock it off!
(P.S. I'm having my third endoscopy this coming-up Monday. *fingers crossed it shows more improvement* I reaaaally want to avoid that "take out half your stomach" surgery, kthnx)
( Anyhoo, let me move on to some other stuff )
I'll finish this off by sharing a funny Roseanne vid. As an explanation, I've been watching the reruns bunches over the last couple months (I think I've run out of eps, frankly), and it's reminded me what a great, special show it was (ignoring the final season & its whatthefuckery, obvs). Back then it was the only show I could look to where the family resembled mine AT ALL, not just because they weren't rich (or even financially secure, for that matter) but also because they acted like real people -- they yelled, they were sarcastic, and they didn't all look like models. They also had four regular characters on the lgbtq spectrum over the course of the series, which would be something great even now. But I think what I love most about it, other than how the show let Roseanne be herself (or how she still reminds me of my mom in certain ways), is how she & Dan so obviously truly liked & loved one another, regardless of whatever arguments they had. I love how often they made each other laugh, and I love that they were allowed to be overweight & still be openly attracted to one another. It's one reason I can't deal with the whole cheating plotline in the final season, even though I know it never actually happened (as Roseanne reveals in the series finale).
