Weighty matters
I've noticed two different remarks about weight today:
1) I was watching No Reservations, and Anthony Bourdain was wandering around France and said he was cold, and he needed some hot chocolate and two fat chicks.
I am more than a bit hormonal at the moment, and found myself shouting obscenities at the screen. Before you get the wrong idea, I really do enjoy Tony's shows and books, and I find him to be incredibly witty, smart, and totally fascinating, though I find him a bit too heavy on the male-bonding crap. Still, I was pissed at the remark.
2) Just now I've read a line in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lindahoyland's Shadow and Thought, where Arwen mentions that she's pregnant:
Arwen laughed. “It surprised me that you did not notice before, not to mention that I am gaining weight!”
“I thought only that your beauty was increasing with each day!” Aragorn replied.
Which provoked an awwwwww reaction in me, of course.
Of course, the danger in this entry is that I've tremendously oversimplified both events, but still.
