After Battleship’s disappointing opening, the studio that just sunk everything into “Lite-Brite: Rise of the Clown” must be a bit nervous.
The Great Fashion War
World War Two could have been started by anything. For all we know, it could have been because Hitler didn’t like Winston Churchill’s shoes that day.
The Biggest Loser: Savior Edition
Jesus took twelve of the biggest losers around and created the largest advertising “business” of all time.
Dogs: what are they thinking?
Hey!!
LET’S USE SCIENCE TO FIND OUT: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/05/dog-brain-scans/
Brain scans of dogs could give researchers a new tool for studying what happens in the mind of man’s best friend.
“I think it could open a whole new type of research on cognition,” said neuroscientist Greg Berns of Emory University, lead author on a dog-scanning study that will be published in Public Library of Science One.
Berns described the initial findings, in which brain regions expected to become active in anticipation of reward did just that, as a proof-of-concept to show that studying a dog inside a functional magnetic resonance imager was logistically feasible.

The greatest act of love...
- Evan: I want you to know that Zap Rowsdower has become a meme at my office

- Evan: You deserve it
THANK YOU FOR YOUR OPINION REGARDING MY EYELINER, BUT LET ME EXPLAIN A COUPLE THINGS TO YOU:
1. I DON’T WEAR IT FOR YOU, NOR DO I PICK OUT MY OUTFITS BASED ON WHAT I THINK MEN WILL LIKE. YOUR CONSTANT OGLING HAS NO BEARING ON MY DECISION TO FLATTER MY FIGURE OR ENHANCE MY NATURAL FEATURES WITH BEAUTY PRODUCTS. THAT IS YOUR GENDER’S CONSTANT MISGUIDED PERCEPTION.
2. YOU DON’T LIKE “WOMEN WHO DON’T WEAR MAKEUP.” YOU LIKE WOMEN WHO ARE WEARING CONCEALER AND BARE ESCENTUALS FOUNDATION CAREFULLY BLENDED INTO THEIR NECKLINE, CHEEKS TINTED LIGHTLY WITH SOFT ROSY CREAM BLUSH, EYESHADOW ONE SHADE DARKER THAN THEIR FOUNDATION, EYELASHES DOTTED WITH GREY PENCIL AND LIPS THAT HAVE BEEN ENHANCED WITH A LIGHT BERRY GLOSS.
THAT’S PROBABLY $200 WORTH OF CREAMS AND POWDERS AND TAKES MORE TIME TO APPLY THAN YOUR ENTIRE ‘SHIT, SHOWER AND SHAVE’ ROUTINE, ALL SO ASSHOLES LIKE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ‘NATURAL BEAUTY’ WHILE WE’RE WAITING FOR A DAMNED BUS.
3. EVEN IF I HONESTLY CARED ABOUT YOUR AMATEUR MAKEUP CRITIQUES I WOULDN’T IN A MILLION YEARS GO OUT WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU’RE AN IGNORANT, BALDING FASHION CASUALTY WITH NOODLE ARMS AND A BEER GUT WHO CAN’T KEEP HIS EYES OR OPINIONS TO HIMSELF.
IF YOU KEEP TALKING TO ME I’M GOING TO SHOVE YOUR SANDALS UP YOUR ASS AND YOU CAN WADDLE HOME IN YOUR SOCKS.
So, I’ve been away for awhile, I guess?
Oh hey, everyone who follows my Tumblr! I guess I’ve been away from the internet for awhile!
I just read that sentence over, and it’s basically the understatement of the year. Although I’ve been able to keep up with my posting (mostly because it’s meaningless, June the Homemaker related, or both) I’ve not had time to poke around anyone else’s pages, and I haven’t watched a YouTube video in weeks (gasp!). My life just seems so full of real things that keep my attention in the real world like a real person! I had the first weekend in SEVERAL WEEKENDS in which I finished everything on my to do list, and I’m working ahead this week to keep that kind of weekend happening so that I can have time to relax (double gasp!).
I guess this is what happens when your real life fills up with real things; you don’t end up spending as much time on the internet as you used to. I’ve fallen hard for Twitter, because it’s easier to keep up with, and is less of a time commitment than Facebook. I just look at what people are saying right now, and respond to that. I don’t have to read every tweet from forever, or wander through people’s photo albums from two weeks ago.
Although, I may do that today, because both my bosses are gone and no one seems to have extra work for me?
The question of prayer so often revolves around specifically religious issues such as whether there is a being to hear the prayers or why one needs to say anything at all (after all, if God exists, then God would know already what we want). But by bracketing these questions out for a moment and examining the underlying structure of prayer – a mode of communicating to an other (real or imagined) that results in a revelation of our feelings to ourselves – we can see that this is a universal act, one that transcends the theistic/atheistic debates. I am a great advocate of this form of communication; indeed it has been a lifeline to me many times over the last few years. Every day has been filled with prayer as I take time to speak out in order to come into contact with what lies within. It has provided the backbone of my intellectual project over the years as well being invaluable to my emotional wellbeing.
When we speak out to the divine, or to those from whom we are distant, the ones we have lost to death or misunderstanding, those who we long to communicate with and yet cannot, we speak to something deep within ourselves. In doing this we bring into language that part of us which otherwise would continue to fester within our being and poison us. We bring light to something that would otherwise continue to lurk in the darkness of our unconscious and continue to plague us. And so, regardless of ones belief in the supernatural, we might be able to all agree that this kind of prayer works.

Yes this is perfect
Since The Gentleman is visiting through Monday, I told him I’d have to do some chores, like making all my meals for the week, while he was here. He said that was fine - so what did we do yesterday? I went to my meeting, shopped, went to a doctor’s appointment, went home, and we ate lunch together, I made meals while he worked on job applications, and then we ate dinner, I cleaned up, and we watched a movie. It was a totally boring, normal things day. And you know what? It was FUN. We had fun doing normal life things together. Is this what real relationships are like?
