Peaches has my car/has been in my car

2009-09-05T18:18:00.000-07:00

In this weird paparazzi video of Peaches and a friend, "Pinky" Makeup, they get into a 1980 Honda Civic. This is the exact make, model, and color of the car my dad bought my mom as an engagement gift three years before I was born. The car, which forever smells of curdled milk especially so on hot Texas days, still sits in our garage. It remains there today, stationary, the purr of its engine quieted by years, possibly a decade, of inactivity. We store our fake christmas tree in the trunk and old files/lawnmower parts on top of it. The car is the shit and Peaches Geldof gets into the exact same one at the end of this video. My heart stopped when I saw it. PEACHES ARE WE BEST FRIENDS NOW? PINK FONT!

A fashion statement for our time

2009-09-03T17:44:00.001-07:00

I hope that when the world looks back on fashion of the late 2000's that these rainbow fringe leggings are bellbottoms, the acid wash, the ripped knees -- the pants -- of our time. I want to hear people say "Oh everyone had a pair, your grandmother wore fringe leggings..." and "I still fit into my old pair."

The Dark Side of Fiji Water

2009-08-19T07:00:00.000-07:00

photo credit

This article, Fiji Water: Spin the Bottle, from Mother Jones is a pretty stomach-turning look at the bottled-water industry's most popular product. I'm sad that the country has fallen to martial law and depends so helplessly on this one product that their people are going without. I want to call this anti-corporate aggro-journalism and say the author is making mountains out of mole hills but MJ is a reliable source -- they are sponsored by Kate Spade. Either way the article is fantastic and snarky and just terrifying enough to make me boycott my once favorite water brand (cue shameful face).

A note on cats

2009-08-18T18:52:00.000-07:00

I've hated cats since before I can remember knowing what hate felt like. And when I say hate I mean I didn't even like to acknowledge that they existed. Sometimes a friend would have a really cool cat that I could tolerate and maybe even enjoy, but for the most part I just didn't care. But when I cat-sat a "ginger" kitten named Belton recently I kind of fell in love with him. I miss taking naps with him curled up by my neck purring loudly. I miss him hiding under the stairs and then attacking my feet every time I walked into the kitchen. And I hate cats! What the crap? This is a picture I grabbed of him napping across the back seat of my car:

I got an A + on it but it certainly didn't win me any popularity contests.

Spooky Scary

2009-07-20T11:40:00.000-07:00

Last night I went on a ghost tour of Savannah. For the most part it was lame but then we got to go to this place that immediately creeped me out called Moon River Brewing Co. T.A.P.S went there once and caught a full-bodied appartion by a pool table in the basement (I'm still trying to hunt down the footage). So AD and I snuck upstairs on the end of a different ghost tour and were hanging out by this staircase listening to the speaker. Both of us had our backs turned to the staircase and AD was next to a board that was leaning against the entrance to keep people from going upstairs. The rest of the group was on the other side of the hallway, facing us, and listening to the speaker. The board next to AD began to shake loudly but it didn't fall and she went running across the room, visibly freaked out (a non-believer). I was too inebriated to do anything but go "Who did that?" only to realize that I was the only person near it (as AD was now running across the room). Everyone in the group was wide-eyed and nervous and one woman said "I was looking right at it. Nobody touched the board." I've included a really terrible, not scary at all, picture phone quality photo of where we were.

Six thoughts about Harry Potter Six

2009-07-15T00:16:00.000-07:00

1. The script was terrible. Like "Scrap it and do it again" terrible
2. The editing was inconsistent and ugly.
3. The scenes that changed from the book were better in the book, namely the climax. It was so much more powerful in the book than how it was portrayed in the movie.
4. Professor Slughorn is Toodles from Hook
5. The innuendo was out.of.control.
6. This movie was almost as bad as the second one which I'm not sure I ever finished.

Wimbledon "Babes"

2009-07-01T15:11:00.000-07:00

A few days ago Wimbledon organizers admitted to the Daily Mail to booking "babes" on Centre Court, shuffling the...uh...uglies, fuggos, and fatties to the back courts. Some "people" are upset about this because it ignores rank and favors ratings. These are the same people that probably petitioned the idea of Homecoming King and Queen in high school for being a popularity contest. Losers.

So who's a hottie and who's a nottie?

Gisela Dulko: Center Court Hottie

Serena Williams: Nottie

Street Boners had a funny little post about this and really I don't have a problem with it. Tennis is such a girly sport anyway that why not be completely straightforward about it. For clarification purposes "girly sports" are for the most part ones in which the athletes wear outfits instead of uniorms. Here's what I do have a problem with. The term "babe."
GROSS. EW. :(
The last person I heard use the word "babe" had a hole in his jeans that exposed his patchy ass-hair that stared at me as he tried rub his sweaty palms on my lower back at a pool bar. EW. NO. RIGHT?
Even ESPN was all about it with a segment called "Techincally Speaking: Big Babe Tennis" where Pam Shriver, Mary Carillo, and Mary Jo Fernandez talk about Big Babe Tennis as something that is feminine and pretty but filled with crushing backhands and aggressive play. It was full of confusion and the word "babe" everywhere. Yuck. Here it is.

The pix are here. Apparently he's left the house to decay b/c he wants to tear it down and build a smaller one (commendable) but nobody wants him to b/c it was built in 1925 and is one of the last examples of its kind. I'm torn here. I don't know whose side to take on this. Part of me wants to think that if Steve tears this house down, the people from the old house are going to haunt the new one Poltergeist style and torment his family into moving out. In that case, the whole thing would be a waste anyway so I would just plan ahead for poltergeists and not make the changes. Or at least consult the dead on this issue first. I don't know if Steve has done that yet.
