what happened to kate winslet???

I hate it when the celebs that have their own unique look try to conform to the “hollywood” stereotype.  Ashlee Simpson was one…cute and distinguishable, but after a little trimming of the nose and chin, she looks just like the other clones.  I never thought Kate Winslet would hop on the conforming train, but then I saw this pic:

Hot? yes.  Recognizable?  no.

Paying poor women to tie tubes?!?

“Louisiana’s John LaBruzzo comes under fire for suggesting to give $1,000 to poor women to undergo reproductive sterilization by Fallopian tube ligation”

Link to full story

I think this is awful…someone barely making it now could be well-off (or at least not struggling) in a few years.  I do like the idea of trying to regulate accidental pregnancies though, especially with men/women who can’t afford birth control…maybe they could offer that for free instead.   what about IUDs?  There are options that wouldn’t prevent women from getting pregnant FOREVER…you don’t want them to make a decision based on a rough period in their life.

Agree/Disagree?  Anyone know how long an IUD lasts?

one ad you won’t find in WVU’s school newspaper

I’m not knocking WVU.  In fact, I miss a lot about it…everything from our school paper down to walking up those damn 100 steps from the Beechurst PRT to my classes downtown.  They kept me nice and slim  :)   That being said…I went to Boston over the weekend and managed to snag a copy of The Tech (MIT’s school paper) and found this ad:

boston, mit, the tech, tech, school paper, egg donor

I suddenly find myself wishing I were smart.  And Asian.

ding dong the mouse is dead!

in green, woah

Got into my car this morning to find my trap looking like this:

mousetrap

I poked it and picked it up…felt really light, and no squeaking.  So I asked 3 guys at work to check it out, and all 3 agreed that even though it feels light, it “smells like death.”

Must’ve been a really tiny one, so I’m going to set up another trap in case of any more.  This time though, I’m going for the trap that won’t leave the poor thing dead.  Plus I don’t want my car to smell like death.  I’d rather it just smell like the peanut butter I’m using as bait  :)

WTF is living in my car?!?

posted by admin

in woah

This morning, I found this on the floor of the passenger’s side front seat:

mouse in car nibblings

mouse eaten granola bar

This effectively ends the granola bar cravings I’ve been having lately…

Can anyone guess what did this? Mouse, or something bigger??

My schedule today is:

  • 2:30pm – Make a guy do a “droppings” search to figure out what kind of animal did this
  • 3:00pm – Make a guy drive me to the store to get something to catch this
  • 3:30-5:30 – Pray this thing is out of my car by the time I drive home from work

Update (2:20pm) – Traps have been set.  I repeat, traps have been set…

Can I live alone?

in woah

…because things like the monster below appear in my kitchen sink the second I have nobody there to help me kill them.  Never seen one of these before in my life…until 3 days after my roommate moved out.

This is what a normal person does when a bug appears:

  1. Squash bug with napkin
  2. Throw napkin away

This is what I did:

  1. Shudder
  2. Back away slowly
  3. Come back 5 mins later to see if it has disappeared on its own
  4. Call my fiance (no answer)
  5. Call my dad (yeah, I don’t even know why…)
  6. Spray entire sink with ant killer
  7. Back away slowly
  8. Return 30 mins later to verify bug is dead
  9. Shudder
  10. Use google to figure out what I just killed (house centipede, fyi)
  11. Email results to Dad, fiance
  12. Remove bug from sink using several layers of paper towels for protection
  13. Avoid kitchen for the rest of the night
  14. (Day 2): Bleach the hell out of kitchen sink

Seriously though, who wouldn’t freak if they found this in their kitchen sink?  I don’t even want to call it a bug.  Bug sounds too cute and harmless.  THIS is not cute:

Plasticus Legoius, discovered floating lifeless in the Dutch sea, is now proudly being displayed in front of a drinks stand at the same beach.

“No real than you are.”  So true Lego Man, so true…

NOTE: this is an old story (dates back to 2007…the origin comes from this site.  I don’t quite get it but still worth a look.

out of the shark-infested waters and back to the drawing board

While testing a new product created to deter sharks from its’ vicinity, “Shark Shieldwas eaten by a 12-foot Great White. How’s that for irony?

The device itself emits electrical waves that are meant to cause muscle contractions in sharks, which in theory would make them flee the area. Umm, or attack the thing that is making them uncomfortable…

Update: Costs $589.95!
