Kids, I’m bringing you the ultimate in lazy blogging: recycling my own words. I wrote the following in August of 2008, but I think it bears occasional repeating. In other news, I apologize for this joint being all-Huge all-the-time right now, but I’m juggling several projects at the moment. Your regularly-scheduled post-diversity should return soon. […]
Previously on Huge: Dr. Gina Torres doesn’t eat after dinner. A muffin mysteriously disappeared. Chloe’s got a girl boner for Trent. Will reluctantly wrote in her Camp Victory journal. It’s nighttime. Amber and Chloe are in the cabin rehearsing a dance routine to Sir Mix-a-Lot’s famous anthem for ass, “Baby Got Backâ€. It’s cute, but […]
Huge, Episode 3: “I was never cool, in school / I’m sure you don’t remember me”
By Lesley | July 13, 2010
I don’t watch much television. I dislike that it requires me to sit still, and I dislike that while I am watching I am more or less captive until whatever I’m watching comes to a close. I find television a little claustrophobic and overly demanding. Sure, I can record shows on DVR and watch them […]
In recent years I’ve come to prefer navy as my color of choice for swimwear. Partly because navy isn’t black, the standard swimsuit color for fat women, and partly because I think of navy as a charmingly retro — even outdated — color choice. My favorite swimsuit of last year was navy with an anchor […]
So last night, Marianne and I hosted our first Chatty Fatty event, a loosely-planned and almost-entirely-improvised discussion about all kinds of fat-related subjects. I use the word “hosted” because we set it up, but once things got rolling it was a true group effort. Our huge thanks to everyone who turned out, whether you participated […]
“…take the sandwich out of her mouth and go for a goddamn fucking walkâ€: On Olivia Munn, Feminism, and Cultural Criticism
By Lesley | July 8, 2010
Prior to this week, I never really had an opinion in regard to Olivia Munn, late of G4’s Attack of the Show and currently working to earn a permanent role as a Daily Show correspondent. I’d heard her name before, mostly from my husband, who is both a gamer and an aspiring game journalist, and […]
My dear non-US readers: As with so many of my recapped shows, this series does not seem to be viewable (via legal means, at any rate) for those of you residing outside of the United States. I am sorry, but you are on your own for finding a viewing option that works for you. Folks […]
Note: I wasn’t going to recap this show. Seriously. I had explicitly decided against recapping it. I was only going to write up some generalized thoughts and criticism. But then suddenly a recap was happening. Those of us who were around when My So-Called Life originally premiered tend to remember it. The show first appeared […]
Miscellany: A tale of first-class flying, a new Fatcast, and a Huge game-changer.
By Lesley | June 24, 2010
On our flight back from Los Angeles, a red-eye arriving in Boston at 5AM, I wrangled a couple of heavily-discounted first class upgrades. For the past, oh, six years or so, I’ve only flown Jet Blue, an airline so delightfully egalitarian that it does not have a first class. For this flight we took Virgin […]
Say hi, Rufus! There’s something unavoidably surreal about being recognized in public as this… blogger. Recent conversations elsewhere have pointed out how the anonymity of the internet promotes bad behavior and plain old stupidity, but it also has effects that are less obviously negative. Even when one is using one’s real name, there’s no way […]
