I realize that I am fully responsible in selecting my reading materials. The time that I spent reading this book can actually be used for reading my Biosafety material. Quiz は来週の月曜日-and so far the polling is for close book quiz (13 vs 12 - slim, slim difference). But well. I have read all of them last week, I will just re-read them tomorrow and day after tomorrow.
Her first to books are more interesting because the problems she detailed in them are real world problems that I can actually sympathize and empathize with. In her third? Not so much because it is about her struggle to reduce her weight using various dieting methods and of course, hard exercise.
It is a damned first world problem that I, a girl from third world country*, who is struggling to get her bachelor** finds reaaalllly hard to sympathize.
Then, lady, perhaps you should consider walking a block instead of driving a block.
Perhaps you should eat smaller servings.
Perhaps you can take the stairs instead of the lifts.
She complains about unable to eat steak because it will hamper her weight reduction.
I cannot eat decent steak because it will suck up the fund I can use for, you know, graduating my ass off.
She complains about the discomfort of gym in the beginning, although she enjoys it later. Lady, at least you can still pay for gym membership and there is a possibility to enjoy a decent gym close to your quarters. She whines constantly about Atkins (ketosis phase sounds truly nasty) and expresses some dissatisfaction about Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers, and all I can think is...
Yes Jesse, my sentiment exactly. |
What. A. Thankless. Bitch.
And she tells in a witty way how she, after being treated like a queen during her book tour, had to go back to reality. The thing that pulled her down to earth is cleaning dog poo and dog-piss-drenched carpeting.
I'll kiss the damned dirt if the worst thing that I should face in reality is cleaning the freaking canine excretion!
By reading her work, I contribute to her increasing fame (and bank account). I have moral dilemma here... but still, she is very entertaining. AUUUUGGGGHHHHH. And I just read her status in Facebook about how she bought a damned coffee machine because she is too lazy to climb the stairs to use one that is available!
AAA
AAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Six stars for this book because it's still witty but but but almost unendurable.
Conclusion:
Life is unfair. Time to take some pictures, Photoshopped them decently, and advertise myself as a mail-order bride.
Or...
Signing up to migrant worker office...
Current speed: 9 male shirts/ 45 minutes, some folded in different sizes. |
Or...
Time to go all Walter White...
Or.
Time to read the Biosafety material. Or some Fitzgerald.
* face it, Indonesia - claim as much as you want that you are happy and not dirt poor, but nah, you bloody are.
** I will bring up this issue as much as I like. If I don't get it, then I shall consider the possibilities of becoming a mail-order bride (I have listed the possible countries in my head) and migrant worker. I still need to work on my ironing skill, but otherwise I am good in vacuuming, wiping, washing dish. I AM THIS DESPERATE.
