What’s up with the video thing? It’s just a test for now and I’m not even sure I’ll use it. My plan is to document this stupid idiotic Master Cleanse I’m about to undergo. And yes, I am fully aware that it is stupid and idiotic. And yes, I am going to partake in it anyway. And since it is stupid and idiotic I will likely be emotionally fragile and too weak from hunger to type, so I plan on posting video entries for the ten days of the cleanse. I’m not sure exactly when I’m going to start, but it will be sometime soon.
I have mixed feeling about this video-blogging though, because while I can write “you god damn mother fucking bastard”, I actually have no ability to speak it. So you understand my bad girl/good girl dilemma . . . There is also the voice thing. I can never believe I actually sound like I do. I keep half expecting an elf to jump out my mouth because I can’t believe I’m really so high-pitched. Just so you know, I sound much better inside my head.
And since I’m feeling generous today, I won’t get started on the jowls, double chin and the “when the hell did I start to look so old” stuff. But therein lies the point to this whole thing. Once I get rid of my sugar/caffeine/diet coke and cheese ball addiction, I can move on to losing a few or forty pounds, and life will be good.
you are a cutting edge, brave and couragous video blogging pioneer and you are riddled with talent. your voice only sounds like an elf’s to you.
umm…just so you know, no one else on the freaking planet thinks you should lose 40 (or any!) pounds…you think so many people would read your blog if they didn’t like the way you look? don’t give us that much credit…
Good luck with the cleanse, Susan. I hope you are ok with it and you don’t let it make you feel like a failure if it is real tough to follow. I think that is what it would do to me. I would think that it is the answer to my red cake addiction and that I would lose 10 pounds in 10 days and that I would suck big time when I couldn’t follow through. DON’T LET IT DO THAT TO YOU SWEETHEART! And you look beautiful on the video simply because YOU ARE!
Susan, I agree with the others – you do not sound like an elf. 🙂 Good luck with the cleanse…you have way more guts than I do. I will give WW another try in the new year and hope I lose those last few pounds.
You look young and sound great! I can relate, though. A few of the photos of Moi taken over Christmas have me thinking that I am starting to look ah older. . . I don’t like it! Good luck w/your cleansing – I’m sure we are in store for some hilarious videos!
you rock susan. you look AND sound great.
can’t. wait. 4. more.
ah video blogging! Yay! I’m looking forward to the fun 🙂
Speaking of elves… what’s the legal term for Santa’s little helpers?
Stumped?
OK, I’ll tell ya….
wait… here it comes…
they are subordinate clauses!
Yeah… I know that was lame but what can I say? It’s a slow Thursday at the office. Besides, the elf in my head doesn’t have a nasally blocked voice like the recorded one I hear with my ears.
But you, RS, sound (and look) fab to me.
Susan,
You look great just as you are now. That said, I totally understand how you want to lose a “few” (however you define “few”) pounds for yourself. Best of luck. Just know that you don’t look old or like you need to lose weight.
Also, Thanks for the warning. I will be sure that little YaYa isn’t looking over my shoulder when I click over for a read or listen.
if you want, you can record me saying “you god damn mother fucking piece of shit sorry excuse for a human cocksucking bastard” or any other combination of words you are not able to actually speak and then you can just push a button for the recording at the appropriate moments in your video monologue. I am nice like that. Think of it as a late Christmas gift.
I know I saw the post with the link to the Cleansing but now I can’t find it.
Maybe that is the answer for me and Dawn. Then we can go on our girls trip next month.
um ok. i just watched your little video and not only do you have a very sexy voice, but you have the physical beauty to match so shut up. I did a cleansing thing last summer and it was great. Cant wait to watch it!
I’m fully expecting the usual warmth, camraderie, and friendship to spill over into the video blogging 🙂 Cussing is OK with me. LOL. Happy New Year to you too!!
I tried a video blog at CES last year, and decided to stick with the written word. I also tried audio blogging but first I would write out what I was going to say, then read it. It came out too stilted. Plus my throat would go dry in the middle and I’d keep re-doing the damn thing. Much too time-consuming. But I think you look and sound good, so for you it would work.
what is this cleanse you speak of? Surely you arent about to embark on the cleanse that Beoyance has been talking about where she lost the 20 lbs in like 2 weeks for Dreamgirls?? I would go freaking insane i tell you!!!
cant wait for more video blogs! i tried to post a comment to it but it timed out on my ass!!!
If you clense..won’t u starve the elf??
Good luck with the cleanse – I am anxious to see how it goes…I’ve thought about doing that myself, but I’ll gladly let you go first as I watch from afar.
If you want to look your best on the old video blog, you need to get some cool shades 😉 Preston and I can lend you some for a couple of weeks if you want.
PS ditto to everyone else’s comments.
Tried on of them myself once.. It was ok but couldn’t get the thoughts out fast enough.. Here’s the link to it if you never seen it..
Cheers.

PS.. You look great..
yeah yeah yeah…
shut up and start your porn! bring it on! whoo hoo!
I think vedio blogging is a great idea!! you’ll sure make it fun for all of us!!!
looking forward to the new era here…
now i have to come here instead of reading you on bloglines. although the truth is, i love reading the comments here almost as much as your posts. you seem to inspire interesting comments!
You convienently forgot to mention that you sould like an elf on CRACK!
I’m just sayin’
my question is.. what’s the recipe, and when are you doing it? i’m giving up flour, if it makes you feel any better. and after the first week, i’m giving up flour AND fried food.
(which is funny. because you use flour when frying most food.. so. i guess that really only means french fries. i guess that week wont be so bad afterall!)
Susan, you are ALOT braver than me. You GO, girl!
Just a quick one – When I view your blog using Safari 2.0.4 on osx 10.4.8 all the text on your site links out to your photo page – It’s ok on my PC and in Firefox 🙂
Video Blogging…Yeah!!!
Losing 40 lbs??? From where???? I’ve only seen you in person once, but from what I remember you didn’t look like you needed to lose 40 lbs….
Good luck with the cleanse…will follow your progress!
Oh, and you don’t sound like an elf 🙂
Susan,
I just finished reading the clense book and am thinking of starting mine on Jan. 1st. We should compare stories!
