More, Kirstie Alley sucks

On Sunday I took a stab at adjusting the gear train on my road bike.  Certain gears are noisy and feel like they are not properly aligned.  So armed with the Shimano instructions and a screw driver I sat down with the bike.  Not having a bike stand to work on the bike is a bit of PIA.  To shift the gears I had to lift the bike off the ground with one arm while trying to clumsily spin the crank with the other.  Having no experience in doing this it was mostly trial and error.  I tweaked it a bit, would hop on the bike and ride around a bit to see if it was any better.  I was definitely able to change the shifting behavior with the adjustments, unfortunately it didn’t seem to be for the better.

Finally after about 45 minutes of screwing around with it I had it back to pretty much the state when I started.  Most gears were ok but a couple were noisy.  I need to just haul it to a bike shop and let a pro set the thing up.

Sadie was the cause of a very restless nights sleep last night.  Around 1 am I was awakened by her on the bed.  She seemed to be very unsettled.  She was moving around a bit and seemed to be up by my head.  I recall her jamming her snot covered nose into my arm.  Then she left out a huge sneeze which set me off.  I pushed her and told her to “KNOCK IT OFF”  She jumped off the bed and I hoped that was the end of it, I was too tired for her crap.

Well as I was trying to fall back asleep she jumped up again and was being an annoyance.  I was too groggy to acknowledge it but evidently Ali thought something may be up and took her out.  My eyes remained closed as I desperately tried to fall back asleep.  Well when I woke up this morning I saw the sofa bed was pulled out.  When I asked Ali what went down she said that when she took Sadie out she had diarrhea and threw up some, great.  Well I guess the good news is she woke us up instead of shitting by my face.  I woke up feeling like death this morning.

I watched part of an Oprah with Ali that had Kirstie Alley on.  She was talking about her immensely fat, to fat back to immensely fat roller coaster of the last few years. Remember all the big to do when she came out in with her “bikini body” to show off her weight loss? (an insult to bikinis worldwide)  She was still very heavy but from where she started it was an improvement at least.  Her public weight loss landed her a job as a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig, an added perk.

Well shortly after the famous bikini Oprah episode Kirstie fell off the wagon and managed to gain  every single pound back and then some.  She was dropped as a spokesperson for Jenny C.  She filmed a spot recently for the Oprah show that documented that she was moving the workout equipment back into her house again.  This time she was going to do it.

Well when Kirstie was on the show this time she admitted that although the workout equipment is in the house she hasn’t gotten around to using it yet.  As the interview progressed I found myself getting more and more disgusted with this woman as she made jokes about her weight gain and how she let down the people that viewed her as an inspiration as she laughed out loud.  Then she comes out and tells Oprah that she is working on her own fitness secret. She wants to get healthy “her way” (translation – take a pill or a fad diet) She whispers that she has lost 20 pounds in the last 4 weeks on it but she couldn’t reveal her “secret” until it is ready to be sold to the public. I mean WTF, that is like Hitler pitching a self improvement dvd. 

That was all I could take.  The idea that this pathetic glutton was going to try to profit on her fame from failure by pushing some sort of weight loss pill on the public is disgusting.  I was crawling out of my skin at this point and asked Ali if we could fast forward through the rest of that pig’s segment and move on to the story of the 1100 pound man that got down to 200 pounds only to balloon back up to 1000 pounds later.  At least he takes it seriously.

Kirstie Alley is right at the top of my biggest celebrity loser list.  She is in the elite company of Miley Cyrus, Michael Jackson and  David Hasselhoff.
