Friday Round-UP

I finally watched the Olympics last night at a bar with Simon. There was no sound, which was a bit disappointing, but I have to say it is much more fun to sit in a bar with a beer in hand and more in the pitcher and watch athletes (who are like the circus freaks of the 21st century) perform feats of incredible strength and stamina.

Totally stealing this from Ned

Ned's girlfriend think he would identify with this flowchart. I think she must know him very well indeed because she is Bang on the money. If I were as big a nerd as Ned I would add a little Javascript thing so that people could personalize the chart to represent their own personal nerd matrix. Oh no wait, if i was Ned, I'd use Rails wouldn't I?

I should add a funny/sad section because as Veda once pointed out, it's a powerful feeling when something is both funny and sad.

Also, I must be having a hella-emotional summer (okay or I've got my period, yes. fuck) if this song puts tears in my eyes.

James Blunt on Sesame Street

The scene with the dancing triangle at the disco, is anyone else getting a 'fabulous' subtext?

In retrospect Vice article kinda sucks

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.

The one time in a billion years Vice is funny

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.

Jen just found this one:

That's right bitches, I just came home from the country and I feel very unmotivated. Stick that in your campfire and smoke it.

I'm your fan

sung to the tune of I'm your man

If you want a cooler
I'll cool anything you ask me too
And if you want another kind of cool
I'll oscillate for you
And If you want a breeze just buy a fan
And If you want to be environmental
Here I stand
I'm your fan

And if you want to chill
I will step into the ring for you
And if you lie still
I'll blow wind on every inch of you
And if you want to blow hot air outside
then just turn me on my side
You know you can
Cause I'm your fan

Ah the rooms too hot
your clothes too tight
The beast won't go to sleep

An Unforgivable Name discusses the discovery that Adolph Hitlers nephew emigrated to the United States and tried to change his name and eschew all ties to his infamous relative. Now William Hitler's three son's have vowed never to procreate and thus let the family name die with them.

I am not so into reading the actual articles, but this comment made me choke on a piece of cameo apple.

Not alone anymore

I wonder why it took so long for this to happen. What with the interwebs being the pejorative "safe haven" for all sorts of crumb-bums, weirdos, sociopaths and lonelys. I guess it was one of those 'it was so obvious no-one thought of it before' issues? Or this one just has better design - anyways.

I am Neurotic

Yep, now any small habit you have that you think (or out and out know) would put you on the wacky side of wild n' you can describe here, and submit it to a rating system! What better help for one of nervous temperament than knowing the other people think their nervous tick is lame ? Also comments = awesome! Hells yes do I want to know that 12 other people in the world turn around and check the bowl everytime they go potty.

I am a workaholic

I am at Jane (my cancer stricken, eyebrow-free, nauseous as hell friend's) house keeping her company and getting some work done. Here's how Jane views my selfless dedication both to her and my professional development.

Jane: "It's 3:30pm, you've gone to the gym, gone shopping, eaten sushi, and broken your phone. It's like ab-fab. You're a workaholic."

Miriam: "Shut-up..."

Jane: "I'm just jealous because you have a job."

Miriam: " I don't have a job! I have an RFP where they spelled my name Miriam Verbug"
