"somethin got ya deyowwoaahughn..."

backwards wednesdays!!

thx 2 g.animalz 4 helping create this new weekly blog feature.

what it's like.

the geniuses in the NYT interactive graphics department have come up with a texting-while-driving simulator. it's pretty fun and also feels very familiar...

you're welcome!!

nothing wrong with it.

lane kiffin has just brought another genius idea to fruition for the world to enjoy. the UT football coach set up a little photo shoot with some of the more muscle-y players that will be used for a PoStEr!

that's an orange lamborghini, ffs!



i'd just like to say on behalf of all of us here at 2Pz that there is nothing here to ridicule and we are just so proud of our players for staying healthy and looking great and representing our beloved university with hard work, dedication, and big, intimidating muscles. ok? don't be jelly.

go vols!

The Cove aka, the loss of my innocence

kylie, g animalz, and i went to the Angelika on Houston (not to be confused with the Angelika Houston, or Angelica Houston) for a movie experience not to be forgotten.

We saw The Cove, a documentary about a seasonal dolphin round up / slaughter in Taiji, Japan. The sexy dolphins are sold to dolphin trainers for dolphin experience exhibits or aquariums. The average looking dolphins are then taken to a secluded cove around the bend and killed by the thousands. The level of protection that the fisherman exert over the privacy of these events is staggering. They scream, intimidate, threaten, and are physically violent.

The documentary revolves around the efforts of the filmmaker and his parter in crime Ric O'Berry, the man who catapulted dolphins into public consciousness through the TV show Flipper. He was the trainer of each of the dolphins used in that show. They assemble a team of experts to infiltrate the cove and set up secret recording devices to capture the cruelty so they can expose this practice to the world (via this film ostensibly).

The footage is captivating. Dolphins are very personable, and it is horrifying to watch their
treatment in this bizarre corner of Japan. The Cove tugs at heart strings, then yanks at heart strings. I ended up with sore heart strings, but also a sense of skepticism about my own reaction. Would I have been so moved about a film about chickens or cows? Perhaps, but its it precisely the charisma that makes them popular entertainment that seems to have doomed these animals.

All in all, I give this film 11 biscuits. It is entertaining, and provides hours of food for thought as you mull over what you have just seen. just dont eat the dolphin meat because its poison.

guess who's preggers?!?!?!?!?!?!????!

4 months!

ceeyute!

seppuku

when the internet speaks, i listen.

in my routine internet reading, i twice came upon a japanese phrase i wasnt familiar with. SEPPUKU. once it was in a nytimes article in reference to martha stewart being too proud to allow herself to be seen sweating. later it was in reference to a dinobot from a children's show who apparently disgraced himself.

so, fyi, seppuku is a ritual suicide disembowelment originally reserved for samurai, now popularly practiced by robots and media moguls.

why so serious?

this is a t shirt you can buy somewhere

hot mess


starla took this guy home from the bar this weekend. i tell no lie.

2016

if you were on the IOC and were asked to select the location of the 2016 Olympics based solely on the merits of the candidate city logo design, which would you choose? Keep in mind that Chicago has had two tries, their first was rejected for breaking the rules.

read descriptions here if you want. tell me in the comments which one you like best.

i challenge kylie to a race

im going to schweeb your face off

stupid NASA

if you want me to take you seriously, work on your graphics.


Go Bill Clinton!

Bill Clinton goes to North Korea and comes back with two young women. Not a joke, a subtle act of diplomacy that resulted in the release of the American journalists that have been prisoners there for months now. Good work Bill (not completely useless).

my favorite thing about North Korea is this building that they airbrush out of postcards because they are embarrassed. i bet thats where they kept lisa ling's sister. did anyone look in there before we sent our former president over to negotiate with the guy in the jumpsuit?


poor paula...

... she wasnt asked back by the producers of American Idol to return for next season, so she officially announced the news on her twitter. i think the was good on the show, but not as good as she was with mc kitty kat.
