ali g breaks down my entire field of study

this poor chem professor. but also, what piece of glassware is that? a column, or a buret? i have never seen anything like that before.

Boo to PETA!

Fur-clad Lindsay Lohan was pummeled with flour while leaving a Paris night club by a PETA activist.



All I have to say is FUCK THAT SHIT. It's impossible to actually change people's minds about an issue by harassing and physically attacking them. In fact, despite my love of animals and own strong inclination to support animal rights and PETA, I cannot support a move like this. Especially since I believe that there may be some hope for Lindsay Lohan, and that PETA just brought us backward five steps with her. Thanks a lot, bitches.

Excerpts from PETA's blog post:

"Lindsay Lohan s tan turned noticeably paler tonight after an anti-fur activist showered her with flour at a nightclub in Paris. Lindsay was on her way into the VIP room on the Champs-Elys es just after 1 a.m. early Saturday when she had an entire bag of flour dumped over her head."

"When Lindsay was named to PETA's annual Worst-Dressed List earlier this year, her entry read: 'I Know Who Killed Me isn't just the title of Lindsay Lohan s latest bomb, it's the cry of the animals snuffed out so that this 'mean girl' can pose in their pelts. Lindsay, there s no road to recovery for the foxes who are anally electrocuted so that you can look skanky.'"

Leibovitz v. Nadar

i can't believe i have to pull the smith art history education out of my ass. why now! why now!

Both racey photos of the time. Similar subject matter. Both pushing the limits of the medium. Blah blah blah. Insert essay here.

dan savage... come be my gay friend!

There is so much good shit out there from this election cycle, i'm probably going to be posting this sort of thing up here for months.

Dan Savage is offering to be Sarah Palin's "gay friend," LOL. Clip below.



I wonder how the Pa would respond to Savage, in real life. I was looking for a video response from her but couldn't find one.

Coulter: is she worth listening to? As a person who is pretty against both liberals and conservatives, I think she provides a good check for the soft liberals of the moment. I think her critique of mainstream media is valid. She cuts through the bullshit, wont let anyone correct her, makes her point, and that's it. If only she weren't a fundamentalist christian with evil hair... Personally, I sort of enjoy seeing her get going, even though I know she would haaaaate me.

and ps, couric is hot!

new decisions, introspection: only for the tough stomached

it's funny to go onto my old company's website and see pictures of myself, and then to see my car parked in the parking lot there on the satellite image that i pasted on the website two years ago to help visitors find the place. that time of my life feels so far away, and i was there just a year ago. my life has moved VERY fast, but has slowed down to a walking pace so i am just now feeling the motion sickness. suddenly, i am noticing the absence of all the people and things that i cared a great deal about only a year ago. everything is gone.

To copy the gawker liberal media elite: Live Blogging on Election Day!!!

Liveblogging: failed. But at least we have a cool new president.

PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!!


4:52 pm. Apparently if you vote, you can get a nifty free vibrator from Toys in Babeland. Fun, fun for everyone. Also, I think I know which prof. I want to work for. FINALLY.

12:19 pm. Still no news, but man, I have some bad gas. Gotta take one of those tablets...

8:08 am It's 8 in the morning, EST. Wake up everybody! Time to vote! Why hasn't Jez posted anything yet? Who's ahead, NYT? No one seems to know yet. I guess I'll just have to get ready for work, like everyone else.

What will happen if Sarah Palin is VP....

Bigguth dickuth! Just think of all the fun we will have with a VP that can't tell the low, sexy cat-like voice of Sarkozy from the high-pitched winnie of a Quebecois radio talk show host.

The Inner Clitoris

I am just now discovering Dr. Dodson, the masturbation expert, on YouTube. I love her enthusiasm at the end, and how her drawing goes from technical to completely passionate.

Making out with all the good ones.

Last night was pretty fantastic. First B and I went to a silly boy-band show where her friends were playing. They were... okay, I guess, for that style of music. Then these scruffy guys came out on the stage, and I got excited because I thought it was going to be some jam-band shit. But it was another boy band, just in disguise! In fact, they were practically N'Sync! Pfff. I half-assedly stalked this greasy guy who had heavy black eyeliner, but it was no use. A totally bunk scene.

Next we went to several bars, spending money like we had just got paid (which is true). Finally we ended up at the southern rail and found ourselves surrounded by the gay guys from last weekend. The one in the stripey shirt whispered something into the short hot one's ear, who then came over and asked, "Are you a les-be-yun?" How can I argue with that, even if it's not true. I can't. I said, "Yeah!" and soon found myself surrounded by really hot gay guys, dancing. I made out with the guy in the stripey shirt (same one from last weekend), and also made out with P. P is not gay. He is a really cute guy with a cute dog and I love everything about his facial expressions and mannerisms. In fact, I would call him completely adorable. But anyway, I soon began chasing the striped one, because I seem to be in love with him when I'm drunk. This pisses B off a lot. She doesn't think he's worth any of my attention. I don't care. It doesn't really matter, because the true or false fact is that I am in the market for girls, not boys. My heart really belongs to all the gay girls out there. Cause I'm gay.

Fuck yeah! Best celebrity gossip, ever!

Why didn't I know about this before? I have a new found respect for Ms. Lohan. She's gay, out, not an annoying lesbian stereotype, and she's dating a really hot DJ. Awesome!
