oh, god.

yesterday i was in the stratford shopping center (not a classy place) and i saw a girl with a shirt that said 'JESUS DIED FOR MYSPACE IN HEAVEN' which i thought was really random and also funny because it didn't seem like she was wearing it in an ironic way. so, i looked it up online, and it seems like all the places you can buy it are christian websites. i don't get it. wouldn't that be an offensive thing if you were religious? i guess it's sort of a play on words, but it still seems odd. this is the product discription from 'Wear Your Faith.com'

Are you or your friends My Space fans? If so, remind them that Jesus dies for their space in heaven with this winter hoodie. The royal blue hooded cotton sweatshirt features “Jesus died for My Space in Heaven” on the front, which shows everyone where your priorities are. Winter will be here before you know it! Buy this tool for evangelizing today!

....what?



this also reminds me of a funny video:

modern day pin-ups

I looovveee this calander and want it so fuckin much. the ladies are somewhat-famous models (if only in the fashion world) dressed as old-school pin-ups (but w/ a modern twist. and not in a douche-y boring overdone way) and I really like it.


here are some of my favorites:

bad tv

oh man. sometimes, I watch bad tv. not oh-this-is-a-funny-reality-bad-tv, but like actually bad -- bad writing, bad acting, bad everything (except for badass). one of those tv shows is one tree hill. it's the same thing as a soap opera. the storyline is so ridiculous and compelling that they really don't need to worry about the acting; people will tune in just to see what happens. (to give you an idea, a few episodes ago they had the nanny kidnap the kid's grandpa and subject him to torture, a la misery, before trying to kill the kid and his mom). and poor mr jones sometimes get subjected to such badness.

every once in a while, when he's not wincing or wondering why his boo watches shows that only appeal to 13-yr old girls, he'll notice something hilarious. like how one of the characters in one tree hill, mouth (seriously that's his name), looks like............

howdy doody!!!! how close is that resemblence?

"a better brew"

this is a v. interesting and light article in the new yorker about beers. a certain, specific brew, but beers nonetheless. it starts with paraguay, one of the heaviest wood in the world (palo santo), and dogfish brewery -- goes to the meta of what involves "craft beer" (aka not budweiser) and "extreme brewing" (the people who do it are probably as douche-y as it sounds) -- and ends with a giant beerfest (which is as sweet as it sounds)
Here is how the article starts:

Elephants, like many of us, enjoy a good malted beverage when they can get it. At least twice in the past ten years, herds in India have stumbled upon barrels of rice beer, drained them with their trunks, and gone on drunken rampages. (The first time, they trampled four villagers; the second time they uprooted a pylon and electrocuted themselves.) Howler monkeys, too, have a taste for things fermented. In Panama, they’ve been seen consuming overripe palm fruit at the rate of ten stiff drinks in twenty minutes. Even flies have a nose for alcohol. They home in on its scent to lay their eggs in ripening fruit, insuring their larvae a pleasant buzz. Fruit-fly brains, much like ours, are wired for inebriation.

becky vs. becky

I love this picture. roseanne (the tv show) was really funny I thought. but I hateddd the new becky (even though I don't mind the actress). she was just way too pretty and classy to be roseann's daughter!
and it's funny b/c even now the old becky looks totally white trash. ah, white trash. this picture rules.

this is exactly how I feel about gay marriage

(and btw, I think that this image is going to be the iconic image and the one that is in textbooks in the future whenever somebody references the struggle for gay marriage to become legal)

Beauty on the Cheap

I kind of feel like it's the great depression all over again with this recession marketing/ propaganda popping up all over the place, aka commercials that tell you how to cook dinner for less than a fiver, how to cut your energy bills, whatever.

anyway, this is one thing i found really useful. it's from Paula Begoun, who is the woman who writes the Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without me books and does reviews of like every beauty product/ shampoo/ lotion ever. I got this is her e-mail from her and it's really cheap cosmetics that she thinks are just as good as expensive ones if you are experiencing a credit crunch. I have been putting off buying new moisturizer because i feel guilty about spending so much on it when i don't even want to buy organic fruit anymore because of the price, but maybe i will try one of her cheapies instead.

Here is the article.

I'm obsessedddd with this one

Apatheism -- I feel so much better now

ahhh, it feels like home.

dearest pete lloyd, in his internet meanderings, has come across my life philosophy. I always knew I never quite fit in either the agnostic nor atheist box, and in discussions with mr. jones I kind of figured out I was a humanist, but now, there is a perfect word for my beliefs. apatheism.



Here is the definition, just in case you belong, too:

Apatheism (a portmanteau of apathy and theism/atheism), also known as pragmatic or critically as practical atheism, is acting with apathy, disregard, or lack of interest towards belief, or lack of belief in a deity. Apatheism describes the manner of acting towards a belief or lack of a belief in a deity; so applies to both theism and atheism. An apatheist is also someone who is not interested in accepting or denying any claims that gods exist or do not exist. In other words, an apatheist is someone who considers the question of the existence of gods as neither meaningful nor relevant to his or her life; nor to human affairs.

Feel better? Still don't care? That's right.

ummmmm no.

fuck this. this article says that "cosby sweaters" are back in style. 1) they never went OUT of style and 2) what they are calling cosby sweaters are NOT cosby sweaters.

they're saying that the ugly shit below are cosby-esque. "A little crazy...but cool, too." (that is a quote, I didn't make that up).

fuck that noise. THESE are cosby sweaters. they incorporate the rules.

5 requirements to be a cosby sweater

1. bright colors (preferablly orange, yellow, and blue)

2. textured fabrics (wool or cotton as a base with at least 1/4 inch coming up off of the sweater)

3. at least 3 squiggly lines

4. convey some sort of emotion (happiness, content, bewildered)
5. I can't think of another, so there's only gonna be 4

oh and btw, when I was looking up to see if there really were any rules to having a cosby sweater (there weren't), I found this sex definition on urbandictionary.com. stop being into it you perv.

Cosby Sweater
The sexual act of eating Fruit Loops, Fruity Pebbles, Trix, and Boo Berry -- or any other 'bright, colorful' breakfast cereals -- and then vomitting the tacky, dazzling mixture onto your partners chest. The result should look similar to the incredible sweaters that Bill Cosby wore during his highly successful 1980's sitcom "The Cosby Show."

fairies, or, were the world mine

I really want to see this movie, "Were the World Mine," made from a short film called "Fairies."

It is about " ... Timothy pines for his all-boys high school’s rugby star. He faces daily abuse at the hands of his classmates, but finds liberation onstage as the mischievous fairy Puck in a musical version of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

He finds a secret love potion hidden in the script of midsummer night's dream to make people gay and gays out his small-town, narrow-minded peers, starting w/ the jock. it sounds hilarious and good and not a stereotypical LGBT (LGTB?) movie, although hopefully it doesn't have an ending like, he was just imagining it all (borrrringggg)

anyways, it doesn't have a theatrical release date (boo that), but when it comes out on DVD I will deff be renting it. hollaa
