The Search for Love in Manhattan

February 11, 2003

I have gained nine pounds since Thursday.

I feel that Job's wife had the right idea when she told him to curse God and die.

9 pounds of what? MUSCLE??? Muscle does weigh more than fat you know.

Besides according to my doc, I still weigh 230 yet I'm in size 36 jeans (something I haven't done in years). So maybe that's what it is.

Hmm.. maybe the scale is off.. or its water retension.. are you getting your period soon?

I love reading your blog. It makes me laugh - a lot!

Here in London we have a social / professional network called JakeTM which apparently has been launched, or being launched in NY. Have you guys heard anything about this? The site is at: http://jaketm.org and is very much linked in with real events during the week...although it has been likened as to a 'posh boys knocking shop!'. Is Jake as 'active' over there?

Simon.

(oh, congratulations on your first year - I've enjoyed reading and laughing)

definitely all muscle...haven't you see how fabulous you look lately?

your fabulousness is ooooozing off the page....I can see it from here...well that and the fact that you made out with an extraordinarily cute movie and TV actor...

These people are all correct - - it is all muscle, thereby meaning that even more people want to sleep with you and you definitely will find your soul mate while walking the pooch.

Awwwww. Pobrecito. Those Chelsea and Christopher Street boys will be making fun of you now. Don't worry... if this is water retention, it'll all be over once you take a nice long leak and sweat it up. :D

muscle or heavy shoes or faulty scale. No way you gained 9 pounds in 5 days. No way, sweetie.

Edie, perhaps Faustus was talking about Thursday, 1987?

10) Convivia said (on 02/13/03 at 10:11 PM):

Even if you ate nothing but pancakes smothered in butter and maple syrup since Thursday, there is no way you gained 9 *real pounds*.

5 of them are water, and 3 of them are because of the replenished stores of glycogen in your liver.

But Job's wife is my hero, as well as the person with the best sense of humor in the Bible.

If it makes you feel any better I gained 9 pounds reading your post. :)
