No, really, you'll thank me

If you didn't see Little Miss Sunshine in the theater, rent it now. The actress who plays Olive, Abigail Breslin, is a delight. She broke my heart about a dozen times. She's so perfect you forget she's a little actress, playing a part. Her scenes with wacky grandfather, Alan Arkin, are especially wonderful.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should admit that I have always, always had a crush on Greg Kinnear, who plays Olive's dad. Since he hosted Talk Soup. That year he was nominated for an Oscar, I was so proud. Sigh. I think it's his hair.

I'm going to be gi-normous

I cannot stop eating. I am actually hungry again. I am trying to only eat things that aren't 100% empty calories. Like cereal. Fiber, calcium ... good, right?

I thought after Thanksgiving I would never eat again. Perhaps it stretched my stomach.
