    Something Old (Kinda)...

    Yeah, you've all probably seen it, but for the sake of some LOLs that will prevent me from *panicking* about the score of this football game... enjoy!

    Happy Sunday, Darlings!

    I hope you all have been having a fabulous weekend!

    There are probably three thousand things rolling around in my head right now, so I thought I'd share a few! Text vomit coming in 5...4...3...2...


    • Woke up at an ungodly hour & decided to watch Juno... Love that movie!! Ellen Page's deadpan humor is like experiencing all the witticisms of Janeane Garofalo, minus the misanthropic undertones. And the fug. (Sidebar: Speaking of movies, Go see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Amazing!)
    • It's SuperBowl Sunday. eff my diet, I'll be couchside of the big screen, eating Tollhouse Oatmeal Raisin cookies next to The Guy.
    • Wow, somehow I think that Obama's completely innocent "Jessica Simpson, who apparently has a weight issue" comment is going to be taken WAY out of context...
    • I can't resist a Cinderella story. Thus, I am rooting for the Cardinals.

    Besos,

    Still Slummin' It??

    Remember those cute little kids from Slumdog Millionaire?? Well, they're still living in the slums! Surprise, surprise, y'all! Being in a soon-to-be-Oscar-winning flick did not, in fact, improve their quality of life. Even more dastardly, the kiddies were reportedly paid meager sums to do the year's worth of work for the movie. WTF, Hollywood?! I mean, I don't know about you, but I am of the opinion that these kids should be afforded the same luxuries as America's child stars: fame, wealth, late-adolescent identity crisis, maybe a leaked naked photo here and there, and a VIP card at the Wonderland Center!

    No, but for reals... this more than concerns me. Considering the fact that one of the most poignant things about the movie was it's matter-of-fact depiction of the conditions, issues, and options that children living in the slums of Mumbai face, I can't believe that anyone, in good conscience, could exploit them.

    Danny Boyle has been cited to say that his production company has set up trust funds for the children that will entitle them to a "substantial amount" of money if they stay in school.

    *Pause*.

    Maybe I'm mistake, but it seems to me that making it to age 18 might be a little bit difficult as a "slumdog" in Mumbai.

    Just saying...

    F*CKERY from Around the Web!

    Craziness all around y'all! In Nigeria, a goat has been detained under suspicion of attempted Grand Theft Auto!! Authorities believe the goat is actually a man with shape-shifting abilities who transformed just before he was apprehended! Now, I'm trying really hard to be respectful of other people's beliefs and all, but clearly this postulation is both ridiculous and erroneous! As my friend CR intuitively pointed out, if the said thief wanted to shift into something to avoid capture, the obvious choice would have been a paramecium. Obviously!
