Buy: Twilight 2 Being Worse

Okay, I’ve become obsessed. Twilight is a horrible book that is bad for womens’ rights and written by a Mormon that I haven’t read. The movie, which my friends and fans of the book aren’t down with and that teeny boppers are all about, has become one of my latest gossip-craving obsessions.
The first movie was [...]

Buy: Making fun of Bobby Jindal

Bobby Jindal is the governor of Louisiana. Last night, he gave the official Republican rebuttal to Obama’s it’s-not-called-the-State-of-the-Union-but-who-are-we-kidding:

Fun things to compare Bobby Jindal to:
-Kenneth Parcell
-Mr. Rogers
-A second-grade teacher
-A magical elf
-Sarah Palin
-The “Forrest Gump” theatrical trailer
It’s so easy, anyone can do it! Post your own in the comments!

Buy: Top Chef’s Hosea

As another fan of Top Chef on Bravo, I can safely say: eat it Alli. Eat the delicious meal that Hosea prepared. Cause that shit looked amazing.
Hosea was one of my favorites through out the show (my favorite being Fabio). This was not a goatee, morality, or bitching contest, it’s a cooking contest. Hosea made [...]

Buy: The New Manufacturing Economy

Here’s something to think about:

The human (Homo Sapien) is constructed of 2,900,000,000 units of DNA, or base-pairs. This immense network of variant combinations of ATCG can be thought of as Code, much like binary code. Between you and me and the next person there is less than a 3% variance in that code, [...]

Don’t Buy: Groundhog’s Day ‘09

Eff You, Punxsutawney Phil! It’s cold out. STILL! And it’s completely your ugly-faced fault! I used to celebrate Groundhog’s Day. And it was only because I felt bad for you (and I love Bill Murray). But you know, you’ve been doing this poking your head out of a hole for years now, can’t you just [...]

Buy: IRL not URL

I know it seems sort of counter-intuitive for a blog to start advocating that you turn off your computer, rub your tired eyes, and step out into the daylight.  But it’s not like we have any advertising to sell you, so I really don’t care!  
Get the fuck outside.  Take in some vitamin D (via [...]

Don’t Buy: Top Chef’s Hosea

As a loyal fan of Bravo’s Top Chef, I’m equal parts psyched for next week’s finale and bummed that it’s already at an end. The final three chefs are Carla, an awesomely emu-like Washingtonian who makes all her food with love; Stefan, a Finnish badass who can skin an eel like he’s peeling a [...]

Buy: Limp Bizkit is back!

Oh yeah partner… keep on rollin baby… you know what time it is!
In this time of economic woe and disaster theres only one thing that can save us… FRED DURST. That’s right Limp Bizkit is back with Wes Borand… The only member that really mattered. The Bizkit hasn’t been heard by anyone really since the [...]

Buy: Movies of Mashups

So news of a book which adds zombies to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has been floating around the Internet. It’s too late to write a post on that, but trust me, it looks pretty awesome. That book itself is a mash-up, 85% original text, 15% zombies. But now, the book has not been released [...]

Buy: ASmallWorld: Social Networking Elite

Recently, I was invited to ASmallWorld.net, an invite-only social network who’s aim is to connect the top 0.5% (of what you ask? of people, period). At first, the words “pretentious” and “barf” popped in my head, but after interacting with the people on there, I have come to believe this is probably the best social [...]
