Sorry to Russ and our 5 (4?) loyal readers for my sporadic posts as of late. Things have been a little nutty, especially at work, which, as you can imagine, is the absolute best place for blogging.
Rest assured, I spent all last week (angrily) taking notes...
Monday: PMS chocolate bars embarrass a whole new generation of feminists
Having grown up in the waning years of FDS and Summer's Eve, my generation has no tolerance for products marketed toward women's "problems." You know, like when "Aunt Flow" comes to visit, nudge, nudge. This PMS bar is even more unbearable what with its hippie cum yuppie undertones. For the record, my understanding is that chocolate really doesn't have that many health benefits since it's so highly processed, anti-oxidants (flavonoids) are basically non-existent in finished products. So boycott that chocolate flavored toothpaste that's scheduled to hit shelves any day now.
Tuesday: Gravel SO crazee!
File under now-that-there's-Gravel-you-can-no-longer-make-fun-of-
R2B2-for-voting-for-Kucinich. If you haven't seen this yet, check it out for an awesomely awkward 2 minutes and 51 seconds. I love how you keep thinking it's going to end, especially at the two-minute mark, but it keeps going and going and going. So existential!
Wednesday: Taxi strrrike!
My inner schadenfreude is loving that the taxi strike is coinciding with fashion week. You can picture all of the anorexics tottering along in their stilettos--along the cobblestoned streets of the Meat Packing district, no less! Um, have you heard about this crazy invention? It's this weird underground tunnel? And they run this metal tube through it using, um, electricity? And you can get inside the tube (!) and it will take you from the Narciso Rodriguez runway show to the Prada after party! No joke!
Thursday: R2B2 confirms suspicion that people are meant to eat lots and lots of carbs
R2B2, in the throes of yet another experimental diet sans wheat, soy, dairy, sugar, and a long list of other excellent foodstuffs, finds herself in an even hungrier state than earlier this year. God damnit.
Friday: More Asian American malfeasance
Hill's taking some heat for refusing to divest contributions from the felonious Chinese American businessman Norman Hsu. Sneaky Chinese crook! But us yeller fellers are forced to bathe in the glory of any news we can get. At least there haven't been any recalls on Chinese imports in the past 48 hours.
