Apparently Hustle & Flow star Taryn Manning (she played the white prostitute with the head full of tiny braids) was on that JetBlue flight that made a precarious landing the other night. I was in the newsroom at the time, glued to the TV as the plane circled the airport. It felt rude to watch those people in what could have turned out to be their final moments, but I couldn’t turn away. We just…
You never really see news about ferrets. So this story is unusual. This poor student just wants to keep her ferret with her at school because it helps her control her PTSD! But the school doesn’t think the girl’s disorder qualifies as a disability that would allow for this kind of animal helper. And “the school expresses concerns over health and safety issues, and the possibility the ferret may hurt someone.” OK, I understand not…
It’s official — the VooDoo Music Experience will be here. Still no word on how this officially affects the lineup. Nine Inch Nails is the only confirmed act so far. I’m inclined to think that there won’t be many bands backing out since it’s going to be a Katrina benefit. The organizers more or less have said the same thing, even implying that the lineup could grow.
I don’t have the energy tonight. Maybe it’ll come back tomorrow. After a news night with a near-plane crash, another hurricane, and a tornado, I’m a little too distracted to talk about porn and raunch. Crazy, I know! Plus tonight I’ve been working on making new flags for Cox and Amber. So that’s keeping me busy for the moment. And I’m planning a redesign (yet again) of this here little chunk o’ web. And in…
I started working yesterday on a long, thoughtful post about the mainstreaming of sex raunch and the rise of women participating in it. I had it saved as a Gmail draft so I wouldn’t lose it in case Blogger went beserk as it sometimes does. I put the finishing touches on it just now, and highlighted the entire thing to copy and paste it into this Blogger window. Then I accidentally pressed ctrl+v instead of…
Aw, crap. I’m so behind on stuff I want to write about. And oh, dear god it’s all gender related. But I’ll break my rants into tiny bite-size pieces for you, the distracted reader. Rant No. 1: This hilarious, gut-busting, hoo-hawing, zip-foo-fabulous link compares the faces of Republican women to those of Democrat women. You know, because when there are ladies involved, you’re pretty much obligated to compare their looks to each others’. Women love…
This site is pretty fun. This guy stuck these speech bubbles on posters and things around New York City, let random passers-by fill the speech bubbles in, and then came back to photograph what was written. Link from Fark.
This weekend has been pretty low-key. Fall is creeping. The pools are closed and now I’m suddenly paler than a Victorian virgin. Once upon a time, I could sustain a tan. Now, not so much. Well, all the better for me not to get cancer, I guess. Yesterday Phil and I went to K-Mart to see what was left. All the K-Marts in town are closing, and yesterday was their last day open, when most…
Hee. Salon‘s Photoshop wizards never fail to crack me up. The story is about Bush’s speech in a pulpit Friday about the arbitrary harm done to man by nature. The graphic is the best part of the piece, in my opinion; I don’t begrudge Bush the right to pontificate about the random violence of weather (God). We went to the Cooper-Young Festival and milled around for bit among the crowd. Lots of hipsters pushing baby…
