I am only linking to this celebrity gossip because: see icon

Seriously, WTF? A planned Caesarean and then another one? Forget that she's probably ruined her uterus on having it cut open once, but twice? Man, that shit is dangerous, yo. I really despise this practice. I realize--I. REALIZE.--life is hectic for a woman and it's hard to work your life around your pregnancy, but this trend has got to go. Any surgery has its risks, even one as well rehearsed and relatively short as a Caesarean, but unnecessary surgery is just asking for trouble. Repeat surgeries on the same area involving cuts through many layers of tissue? I'd be amazed if her muscles and tissues ever healed period, let alone after they'd been sawn through twice in one year's time.

A Caesarean should be a last resort, not a cosmetic thing (though how it is cosmetic with a scar is beyond me). I may be rar-rar-rar-rar independent feminist, but shit dog this is nuts. Even if she didn't plan to have the second kid as a C-section, fuck.

If no one sees me for like the rest of the week, weekend, forever, it's because I'm busy playing Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. Better than the first Lego Star Wars? Not sure, yet, though I certainly get more fannish squee-ing from the levels. The replay value has skyrocketed, as there are separate requirements for free and story play, and the lack of Sith means I have to wait until they'll let me unlock Vader (very few Sith in the original trilogy) to get the Sith-only places (not to mention the Bounty Hunter-only sections which require unlocking Boba Fett).

Well, I don't have to, as you can use the save from Lego Star Wars to use characters from the prequels in the original trilogy. I'm being a purist bastard and not doing that--not until I play through once, that is.

Now, pray, do excuse me. As soon as Project Runway is over, I have to escape from Hoth.
