Ok everybody. Simmer down. I’ve done some research into the Born This Way – Express Yourself issue. For what it’s worth I’ve really come around on Born This Way. My inner gay homo is just too strong to reject it. Born This Way in the Midwest? This particular one is sui generis when it comes […]

Vampire Sagas: I’ve had it.
The other day when I was walking around the city I saw the poster for this movie and it made me laugh. Maybe I’m not in touch with my inner teenager but haven’t we really reached the end of the road in terms of vampire trilogies when the title is The Vampire’s Assistant? I don’t […]
“Facial Sessions”: How does this mask DO that?
This is something I’ve been obsessed with for awhile… the images of people wearing it are unbelieve-amazing. So I’m just logging it here for posterity. Facial-posterity. I feel like this signals that as a society we’re maybe ready to consider if we even care about the impact that hiring horror-film-quality masks to tone our faces […]
It was covered by some artists
I was recently talking with someone about Pia Zadora. Sort of a “whatever happened to so and so…” and isn’t her name just automatically dirty sounding but also about how she was how I first learned as a kid that Showtime can be steamy and naughty late at night. Well a quick consultation with wikipedia […]
Caveat: Maybe I don’t know enough about my options for hemorrhoid treatment
This has been bothering me for awhile and I know: hemorrhroids, yuck. But I feel like the tone of this ad presupposes a knowledge of the problem that I don’t have. Like: “obviously you say no to the surgery you jerk!”. But also, what are the options? Stop yelling. Why, billboard, are you treating me […]
Local news promo department
I’m sure it’s not easy being the host of a morning news show… what with the crazy early hours, the constant smiling and banter, the co-hosts. The local FOX affiliate’s contribution to the genre is something called Good Day New York, now apparently hosted by some new anchors. To promote these personalities they’ve put together […]
Introducing: QV-Sensational!
As a scientist, I’ve had a deep interest in shopping channels for awhile now; the unwavering capitalist optimism, the intense smiling and banter, the jewelry! As such, I’d like to introduce a new forum for exploring this unique and exciting corner of the zeitgeist. And this clip seems like a good foundation for our research. […]
Websters defines “essential” as… ?
Honestly, I hadn’t considered any of his songs essential. Had not thought in terms of the essentiality of his work. Now I’m reconsidering just based on that gorgeous mane alone. From “This Is It” to “House At Pooh Corner” it’s all here. Take a trip back to the “Danger Zone” or remember how you know […]
Law and Order, Canadian-Bacon Flavor
Our friends the Canoodlians take a little more “proactive” approach to crime-fighting, it seems. I don’t know all the details, but it seems like it goes like this: First, they leave totally steal-able “bait” cars lyin’ around. Then they put up a big sign to warn you about it. Look:
A simple equation
It’s a week of learning and caring. And pain, which so often accompanies learning. And caring. Follow along, fellow scientists and mathmagicians: + = Let’s hire a professional groomer next time, shall we?
