The lesson here is: sometimes you gotta go after what you want, even if there’s a big terrifying predator snarfing you

This is my meat and I am going to eat it!

Jeeeez, say it don't spray it- you made me drop my meat chunk!

You done? You sure? Alright, fine.

Eden: The Digital Rendering of Willem Dafoe
Antichrist is a movie that premiered at Cannes this year starring Willem Dafoe. I have not seen this movie, but it’s apparently about a couple who, after their toddler dies, retreats to a cabin in the country. Creepiness ensues. Wikipedia, in its infinite impartial wisdom, describes some of its “controversial” scenes thusly:
She hits His testicles with a wooden plank so hard that it is implied they are crushed. While He is unconscious, she masturbates him until he ejaculates blood. She then drills a hole through his shin to bolt him onto a grindstone. In a later scene, She cuts off her own clitoris with a pair of rusty scissors.
Well, just like anyone else, when I read that passage, I think VIDEO GAME. And sure enough, one is being made.

Think you’ve had a bad day?
Try being a kid in Western San Bernadino County in California.
The students at Rolling Ridge Elementary and Dickson Elementary are having to attend school straight on through the end of July because of a clerical error.

See, the kids at these schools have one shortened class day per week, which is allowed, but the rules state that this shorter day has to be at least 180 minutes long. These two schools’ short days were 175 minutes long. Which means that those 34 shorter days didn’t count. At all. And they have to make them up.
What happens if they don’t?
They lose $7,000,000 in funding.
They’re trying to make the extra days fun for kids, with lots of activities, but unless one of the activities is “not going”, I don’t think the kids will be buying it. And really, 8am? That’s miserable.
Speaking of all this, do you remember the age you were when you started questioning why school has to start so early in the day, and “came up” with the genius idea of school starting at like, noon? I drafted a proposal and everything when I came up with it. (It didn’t work)
Ahhhh, Entertainment Weekly. You make interesting decisions.
What does it mean when you’re on the cover of Entertainment Weekly with more photoshop on your face than on your abs?

I don’t know what it means. Ask Pierce Brosnan/Colin Farrell face.
What’s the foulest, pseudo-eviliest, smelliest, drug-addled, has been, poop and pee-filled, stupid makeup-smeared place you can think of?

Songs of my life/Videos of my day
I’ve had this mp3 for years, but never thought to look it up on YouTube! Of course it was there!
Scala (the girls’ choir) and Kolacny Brothers (the two young men in front) singing a lovely version of “I Touch Myself” by the Divinyls.
I love that Bruce Willis still has the capacity to surprise me.
Bruce Willis, who seems to fall ass-backward into cultural relevance, has done it again. He and his new bride Emma Heming did a photo shoot for W Magazine that is simply bizarre, and maybe genius.

Wait, there’s more! And some of it’s NSFW!
Gynomite’s Emotional Assignment of the Day
Ladies, it’s time to quiet down that shitty little voice inside you that whispers terrible self-defeating negative things all the time.
I’m talking about self talk.
Specifically, negative self talk.
More specifically, female negative self talk.
(Disclaimer: this is not to say that men don’t experience negative self talk, they do, but let’s be honest, Gynomite’s usually aiming more at lady issues)
Rach, hon, I can see everything!

And now, five awesome songs written by Prince that were made famous by other people
Prince has a ton of amazing songs. I mean, duh. Did you know he also wrote a ton of really popular songs for other people? For instance, this one:
Sinead O’Connor- Nothing Compares 2 U
But really, that’s an easy guess, what with the number and letter “u” in the song title. Did you know about these?
