Original article: Project Bummer

Project Runway and Battlestar Gallatica are the only shows I followed

for the last few weeks.

I really liked Project Runway, and I was rooting for Chloe probably because she was a female, and Asian. Not your typical gay male designer. I really liked her previous dresses, but for the collection, I didn't like the puffy sleeves thing.

Santino had beautiful dresses, but they weren't original. And really, it gotta fit.

Daniel's collection belonged in Banana Republic.

Here's hoping that Jay makes it.

Original article: Jolie on CNN

Angelina Jolie is awesome.

She adopts kids from third world country, and she actually talks about things other then weight or make-up. And she didn't force Brad Pitt to not talk to the baby for seven days after birth.

Look at the growing art of Improv

improvisers play a lot, on stage, off stage.. and.. it's a lot of fun! It's about being crazy, vulnerable, and having fun. Humans are more wired to play games (hunting, foraging food, survival techniques) than repetitive data entry or sitting in traffic.

Adults should relax our collective tight asses and play ass-tag. Seriously, it's like tag but you become "it" when someone slaps your ass.

Original article: "The Devil Wears Prada"

Meryl Streep is delightful.

This is a delicious movie to watch. I liked that Miranda Priestly kept her point of view and didn't "change" to show a better nicer side. I think it kept the story more interesting. The women characters are the kind you want to see on stage.

Anyways, I truly enjoy and highly recommend it.

Original article: Women rabid over "Runway"?

you overreact too much...

Obviously not every woman loves Runway (I do), and not every man likes football. If an article is tongue in cheek, don't treat it like a treatise. Not every man is trying to insult womanhood. I've noticed the trend of overreaction in this blog. Like the entry on the Shamu article. Chill out, go wacko over birth control access and woman's rights, as is right, but relax a bit on articles that may overgeneralize, but wasn't written in malice. I read that article and didn't feel offended, it was rather tongue in cheek. If we get angry and senstive to every probable insult, women will become bitter indeed.

Darwinian is hillarious

LOL.

The scary thing was reading the comments from the Post's readers. Some of them was offended at the "bias" of the article.

Original article: Obese infants, dieting moms

Stop selling chemicalized over processed food

Eat actual meat, not bleached meat. Actual salmon, not salmon dyed red. Real butter, instead of trans fat.

Real cane sugar, instead of corn syrup. Our body wasn't adapted to eat crap or sugar substitutes. it's not that we're eating less healthy, it's because the food everywhere has become less healthy. people used to eat fat and butter and cook with lard, and yet they didn't have obesity problems.

Original article: A bitter pill to swallow

so... do you have any suggestions for a solution?

... depressing news is all well and good, but it'll be nice if you also have a suggestion for what we can do to help.

Original article: Ghost world

scientists nowadays seem to think that they've discovered every major theories

it's good when people occasionally branch out and question established principles.

FAM: Fertility Awareness method

it's natural, you take notice of three signs: daily temperature when you wake up, cervical fluid (color, consistency changes depending on where you are in your cycle), and the position of your cervix.

This is not the rhythm method, and it seems to be one of those things that I'm surprised not many know about:
