Oh my!

I bought the Pink Spiders CD Teenage Grafitti which is apparently a sophomore effort. (Yes, I have been waiting a long time to say that). $8 at Target. Buy it!

I now have the strangest desire to have Little Razorblade as a pet name. It's not even a nice thing. He's saying it to a girl he doesn't want to be with any more. But I'm in love.

Also, "pretty as a car crash" and "sexy as the stinger of a hornet in your arm" are some pretty great lines.

Those Wild & Crazy Christians

So I picked up a religious tract, as I'm wont to do when bored while doing laundry. I'd like to read to you a passage about whether or not the holy spirit is a person.* However, I can't read it to you, so I shall type to you a passage:

"When Mary, the mother of Jesus, visited her cousin Elizabeth, the Bible says that the unborn child in Elizabeth's womb leaped, "and Elizabeth was filled with holy spirit." (Luke 1:41) Is it reasonable that a person would be "filled" with another person?"

So, am I as sick as I think I must be to think, "Well, if he's big enough"? Probably, but seriously, the question is just gagging for a dirty response. I would almost think it was deliberate, but nothing else in the pamphlet is nearly as funny.



*Incidentally, in case you were wondering, the Holy Spirit, according to this tract, is not a person. It's a spirit. No, I don't think that that conclusion didn't require 2 pages worth of argument to prove it. Why do you ask?

No fair

It's one of the first days in months that I started out doing everything I was supposed to, and I get a migraine.

I went for a run. I was well-hydrated. I didn't have coffee (well, I did after the migraine started, but still). I got plenty of sleep.

What did I do wrong? Fucking genetics. I'll kill them.

Snakes on a Plane

I have to admit, I'm surprised by the reaction to this movie. I expected moral outrage over this movie. I mean, I get why I'm gagging to see it. It's like a massive marketing experiment being performed on the whole of America. But why is everyone else so excited.

Here's this massively slick marketing campaign dressed up to look like the studio awarded its contract to someone whose main qualification was a successful middle school campaign for student body president (despite the fact that their presidential duties would get in the way of their time to create an ad campaign). All of this being done with the assumption that America lacks the savvy necessary to get what's going on. And to my horrified fascination, it's WORKING.

So, People Who Assume the American Public is Retarded: 1. People Who Think Americans are Fairly Intelligent: 0. Whatever.

The think I really don't get is that people who are in general really intelligent are the ones really psyched to see this. I know that they know that it's a bad movie and all, but don't they get that they are being just a little manipulated. They're assuming that they are cleverer than the ad/marketing people because they get that the ads suck. But the ads are meant to suck. And the marketing people still end up with your money at the end of the day.

Whatev.

Is it wrong

that I think I like 30 Seconds to Mars now because the lead singer wears eye liner? Probably, but if it is, I don't want to be right.
