Archive - Jul 2008

Turns out that wasn't just my period. It was me, thoughtlessly wasting "hundred of millions" of stem-cells. Menstral stem-cells, I could have been cryogenically preserving. Why preserve stem-cells? Well, to use in extending my life, and the life of those that are genetically similar to me (although apparently without the foresight to save their own cryogenically frozen stem-cells, the fools).Or at least that's what the company C'elle, (Pronounced C'iele in a posh pseudo English accent) wants me to believe.

Luckily, July is almost over ;)

I just finished reading this very in-depth article about the break-up of CitizenAgency's two founders Tara Hunt and Chris Messina, So Open it Hurts.

At first it surprised me that San Francisco Mag would devote 15 pages of copy to the couples rather messy and public demise, but as I read the article I began to appreciate the impetus to understand such a public affection/disaffection.

So I was in the park with Lola thinking about the Vice article, and it occurred to me that all the charcterizations of female activity are passive. For example;

"Nothing makes her more likely to receive your kiss and you more likely to have balls enough to deliver it."

Uh-hum because as we all know the only way girls can initiate kissing is by standing very still with their head tilted up and their mouth ever so slightly parted. There are many many pictures of teen stars such as Lindsey Lohan in the 'I wish you would kiss me' position.

Or:

My friend Rose cut and paste this entire article into her FB notes, and i am going to feel no shame in doing the same because I don't want to send any traffic to those fartknockers over at Vice even if this is a good article. I am not bolding any of the "letters" that I have experienced but I will tell you it spells a word like:

ADEHJ(girlstyles)MN(it is a digital cumbath)QRSUVWXYZ.

You can pronounce all the vowels there as soft sounds.
