the south will (not) rise again
Ole Miss is in a tizzy because the administration wants the students to stop yelling racist chants during football games. The offending song is in the youtube above being played by some high school band. (Ed Note: actually that is the Ole Miss band, sorry)
some students are upset because they like shouting "the south will rise again" at the end of the song, and who cares if some people think its offensive, because its tradition.
i say... quit it ole miss. youre not rising anywhere with that attitude.

good for that bear.
"The incident occurred during a rehearsal by the Russian state circus company troupe which was performing in Bishkek with the program, Bears on Ice," Ministry of Culture and Information director Kurmangazy Isanayev told reporters.
It is unclear what caused the bear to attack Potapov, 25, nearly severing one of his legs while dragging him across the ice by his neck. Medical personnel were unable to save Potapov, who died at the scene. (via)
thx rob!

gchatz w/ john
me: brb making lunch
john: every time an anus closes, god opens a mouth.
me: thats outrageous
john: i said it to starla, and she didn't understand.
me: oc not
john: i asked her if she ever heard the expression "when a door closes, god open a window."
she said no
and i gave up
me: that phrase, the original
paints an image of being in an upper floor apartment in a fire
in a horror movie
where doors slam shut right when you get to them
and maybe the fire is a hellfire
set by satan himself
and then jesus shows up
and just opens a window
just as you're about to gasp in your last breath
and succumb to the sweet sleep of death
john: that's totally what they mean when they say that
me: i hope so
john: but the narrative was too long

omg, i saw 'precious' last night...
it. was. 11. biscuits.
i know joel has told y'all like a millz times, but i'm going to say it once more. go see it, if you can. it's not as horribly disturbing as it looks. it's more like upliftingly disturbing. every single role is executed flawlessly, with a standout performance by mo'nique. i also thoroughly enjoyed the harlem imagery, which was beautifully presented.
don't get me wrong, you WILL cry. more than once. but you'll also laugh plenty, and leave feeling surprisingly hopeful, despite the unresolved matter of accidentally allowing a down's syndrome child to be named mongo.
gulp.
FYI: precious opens nov 6th in select cities, and in the country the weekend after. here's an article from NYT magazine for you, like you need any more convincing.
