From the WTF Files: Vulva Original
Ummm, wtf? I'm seriously frightened by this one. Vulva Original is not cologne or perfume, it is concentrated, simulated "vaginal scent" that you are supposed to apply to the back of your hand so you can intensify "your erotic fantasies and start the film rolling in your head." The FAQs section of the site is pretty choice... unfortunately it doesn't include the question that has been on my mind, "Does naming it 'original' mean that there are other exciting Vulva scents coming out such as Vulva: Menstruation and Vulva: Yeast Infection?" It turns out the development page answers that question... while the smell of menstruation and yeast is so not hot right now, apparently Vulva will soon come out with Vulva: Eighteen and Vulva: Exotic. You know, because barely legal and "exoticized other" vaginas totally smell different than original vaginas. I can only shudder to think what those scent masters will think to infuse into those concoctions (I can just picture the board meeting with a bunch of middle-aged white pervs demanding essence of lollipop and Chinese five-spice).

this man...
tried to befriend me on myspace. I think I'm going to say no. I figure my friends should at the very least be in the same astral plane as me... at best they are people I have actually interacted with in some way before the person clicks a button to add me as a friend.

monday means exercise
the weekend is over and I stuffed myself with fried chicken and schnitzel so it's time to exercise - every Monday and Wednesday afternoon I take an aerobics and strength training class offered through the Urbana Park District - the class looks a lot like this video

My Latest Procrastinatory Obsession: pandora.com
Back in 2000 a group of music-tech geeks got together to create "The Music Genome Project" - a project that aimed to analyze music by hundreds of attributes (or "genes") combined into thousands of "focus traits" so that a site like pandora.com can identify music you might like depending upon the initial band(s) you input into the site. It then streams songs to you over the internets they think you might like. The claim is matching music by these "genes" will identify music that can resonate with you that goes beyond simple identifications by genre or self-identified "influences" a band might list. Funded by evil corporations and advertising? Yes, I'm sure (including Sprint, my horrible cell phone provider)... but the advertisements are relatively innocuous and I have actually discovered some really great music on the site. Now whether I'll actually buy the music... will remain to be seen.

the BEST craigslist personal ad EVER
So my friend, who loves to giggle at the personal ads in our local craigslist saw this and immediately thought I should see it:
Let us frolic in my totally dope blanket fort - 21
Yes, I know what you’re saying, “dude, that blanket fort sucks.” That would not be the first time I’ve heard such scathing reviews. Its structural integrity is dubious at best and there isn’t a whole lot of headroom. But c’mon, it’s not like I’m a fucking architect. Besides, this little baby is just a prototype. I have vast resources of cushions for anchoring and blankets in order to maximize square footage. My living room is just waiting to be turned into a wicked sweet labyrinth of love.
I am very open to suggestions in respect to design and construction, as I’d like this fort to be a shared vision. Much like the Taj Mahal, its intended that this little beauty will be inspired by a very special lady. Once our shelter is erected, we can move in and work on some of our higher order needs. Or we could just order a pizza and tell ghost stories. Please email me with a picture if you want to be invited to this living room party. It will be sweet.
PS: I’m allowed to have sleepovers.

Thrills from a Detention Center in the Philippines
My posts are coming few and far between these days - the summer heat, actual work, and my back injury have not motivated me to do much extracuricular blogging... and then I run across a video like this and I know I have to share. The inmates at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center united in their love for Michael Jackson's early video masterpiece, "Thriller." If for any reason the embedded video says you require a plug-in, you can access the video at this link too.

Blu-Blockers
So I've been absent for a while because I was away in Idaho for a week and injured my back. Lately my friends have been reminiscing about things we ate or watched when we were younger. Angelo and I remembered this random commercial for Blu-Blocker sunglasses and, sure enough, Angelo found the commerical on youtube. Anyone else remember this one?

Straight out of a John Waters movie: "Man beats peacock he says was a vampire"
AP; NEW YORK -
A peacock that roamed into a fast-food restaurant parking lot was attacked by man who vilified the bird as a vampire, animal-control authorities said. Beaten so fiercely that most of his tail feathers fell out, the bird was euthanized, said Richard Gentles, a spokesman for the city's Center for Animal Care and Control.
A peacock that roamed into a fast-food restaurant parking lot was attacked by man who vilified the bird as a vampire, animal-control authorities said. Beaten so fiercely that most of his tail feathers fell out, the bird was euthanized, said Richard Gentles, a spokesman for the city's Center for Animal Care and Control.
"It's just unbelievable that someone would do something to a poor, defenseless animal and do it in such a cruel fashion," he said.
The peacock, a male several years old, wandered into a Staten Island Burger King parking lot and perched on a car hood Thursday morning. Charmed employees had been feeding him bread when the man appeared. He seized the iridescent bird by the neck, hurled it to the ground and started kicking and stomping the creature, said worker Felicia Finnegan, 19.
"He was going crazy," she said.
Asked what he was doing, she said, the attacker explained, "'I'm killing a vampire!'"
Employees called police, but the man ran when he saw them. Authorities were looking for the attacker, described as being in his teens or early 20s. It was not clear how the bird made his way to the Burger King, but a Staten Island resident who raises peacocks said he had given some to a person who lives near the restaurant.
