Beisbolllll

So not that I am too well-versed in my baseball stuff, I vaguely understand the rules, but um… steroids list thing… are there a bunch of Yankees names on this list? or is it just me and anyone whose name I recognize I assume its cause they are from the Yankees?

I am not like a yankee hater or anything, i mean i'm from the ny area, and i suppose i prefer the mets. i mean honestly i don't really care one way or another, but just seemed like a lot of yankees.

Yum, Pumpkin Soup.

i just want your kiss boy, kiss boy, kiss boy. i just want your kisss.

I <3 the Bryant Park Project

The Bryant Park Project is a radio show on NPR. I love it. Download the podcasts, really really great stuff!

The hosts are just fabulous, Luke Burbank and Allison Stewart. Really cool people.

Plus, not that you can tell through the internets, but Luke Burbank is kinda cute.

And he also did the fabulous interview with Sigur Ros. Amazing.

Vodka Vodka Vodka

So its finals time, so obvs I have a post entitled "Vodka Vodka Vodka," but really that's actually in reference to the funny article I found and lesser so the horrible night I had over the weekend. (it involved someone with only one hand… but two arms. don't ask.) but yesh, more time to procrastinate and I found this gem on wonkette.

Some 64 year old guy was trying to bring a bottle of vodka onto a flight from Nuremberg to Dresden. In accordance with the new rules about not taking liquids onto airlines unless they are checked in with your luggage this was highly illegal. The security officers told him he'd either have to pay to check his vodka with the luggage or toss it.

So, he chugged it.

Good choice, good sir. Good choice.

Just as a side note… he also almost died of alcohol poisoning and did not make it onto the flight.

Purity Balls

i've probably written about these things before, but they are these big dance events that daughters attend with their fathers where they promise not to lose their virginity until they are married, which i don't know, personally, i think is a little whacked out.

But anyway, feministing.com had an article about it and how people are always like this is revolutionary, the girls who participate in this are apart of a larger counterculture.

the author of the post was talking about how these things are NOT revolutionary and simply perpetuate the same ideas that over-sexed pop stars send out.

Pop culture tells women that their bodies are public property and that they have to be sexual in order to be desirable and loved. Purity balls and the like tell women that their bodies are private property (though not our own of course--our bodies belong to our fathers, husbands, and the men in our life) and that they have to be virginal in order to be desirable and loved. In either case women's sexuality belongs to everyone but women. There's nothing counter-cultural or cutting edge about that.

interesting stuff.
