lightspeed chronicles » uh… like a fish needs a bicycle? - i was uncool before uncool was cool
uh… like a fish needs a bicycle? Over the past few weeks, I’ve been corresponding via phone and e-mail with a reporter from out west, who is writing a book about women who make the decision not to marry.
I can’t stand fish, but for some reason, most people who eat fish in my presence will always insist on my trying it (“no, but this one is so good ”).
What would be the fish allergy equivalent of not pairing up? Well, when I don’t feel like launching into my whole self-righteous “why do I need to justify it” speech, I say I’m concentrating on my career.
It’s not as final and solid as a fish allergy, but it’s certainly as lame, isn’t it?.
It’s funny because I recently decided to buy a loft/condo and to my great surprise, people get really emotional when they try to convince you that their part of Montreal is the only real place where I’d want to live.
I’m getting married because it was the right emotional thing to do between the two of us.

I'm swimming around on this page like a lost fish.
For four months now, I've been that lost fish.
Where to live, how to earn more money? Go fish.
Headaches, beautiful writing by Anne Lamott, living in the 'I don't know.' We've all got it, don't we? The mish-mash of our physical world and emotional world and work world and relationships and all that makes up our lives in every moment.
While writing to you, my focus shifted from my physical pain to an emotional excitement at being with you.
This is the real fly in the ointment if you are crazy enough to want to be an artistyou have to give up your dreams of swimming pools and fish forks, and take any old job.
Your last ezine message made me realize that in an ordinary day I don`t always celebrate my good fortune, such as my health, the education I`ve been so fortunate in having, the peace in the place where I live, access to food, money, water, warmth and shelter.
I'm grateful I'm alive and just am trying to stay in the moment and celebrate today.

A recent column Snacking the Night Away offers advice for dealing with emotional eating that you might find useful.
And it is when they are alone that many American women do their emotional overeating.
Loneliness can also provoke emotional overeating.
Music is another proven tool to calm you when upset and help you avoid emotional eating.
Mozart left us many wonderful pieces of music that can help us feel more tranquil at times we might be inclined toward emotional eating.
This official website will put you into the spirit of Austria Celebrates the Genius! My current favorite internet classical music radio station is WCPE , theclassicalstation.org out of Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina.
Another kind of emotional eating is the happy kind that we do to celebrate a particular occasion.
My list for the supermarket included a bottle of Chilean wine to celebrate the recent election of Michelle Bachelet as first female president of Chile.
I also wanted something to celebrate the election, in Liberia, of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf , first female elected president of an African county..
I was certain that I would be unlikely to find any Liberian import in my supermarket so to celebrate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf , I bought hearts of palm .

McGee’s War On Q By Gerard on Thursday, December 14th, 2006 While certain US fake independent rawwwk execs waste their time with perfectly legitimate gratuitious swipes at Paste Magazine, Alan McGee's got much bigger fish to fry, as evidenced by the following entry to the Guardian Unlimited Arts Blog.
I was all set to drop the (Emotional) Fish-meet-Barrel comment, but McGee deserves some special prize for pulling Midge Ure's name out of a hat.
