See, because boomerangs can’t pick up things
This made me laugh so hard this morning- it’s from a Cracked feature called “If Video Games Were Realistic“.
Enjoy this look at a realistic Zelda game-
Never be alone in the dark again.
Since my thing on being goth went up at Lemondrop last week, I’ve been getting lots of fun emails chock-full of goth links. I’ve also been getting emails chock-full of insults! Both are fun. Here’s the best thing I’ve gotten so far, from Carlos, who introduced me to most of the electro-industrial bands I listened to.
Welcome to Gothic Match.
The Random Matchups of the Century
The fine people at Wikipedia vs. Predator will find a random wikipedia entry and match that person/thing against Predator. All you have to do is vote.
It’s that simple!!
So far I’ve gotten…
Ask Gynomite!
Gynomite is a licensed therapist in 2 1/2 states and she would love to take a crack at your emotional dilemmas. Write her at askgynomite@gmail.com- all emails stay confidential. Today, Gynomite takes on that creepy little feeling you get when you think there’s something wrong in your relationship.
I’ve been in a good long term relationship with my guy for just over a year. Lately something between us just seems off. He’s distant, he’s irritable, and we don’t have any fun anymore. I’ve asked him what’s going on and he says everything is fine. I think that’s a lie. What can I do?
I like to think of relationships between people as actual things that are separate from each of the two people involved. So there’s you, there’s your boyfriend, and there’s your relationship. It’s a thing you two have created. So the first thing to do when you get a feeling that something is just wrong is to see if you can isolate who is actually affected.
A conversation about comic book rape.
I sent Jared Logan, hilarious comic and comic book fan, this story about a scene in a recent Spider-Man comic where a villain, disguised as Peter Parker, has sex with Peter Parker’s roommate.
The controversy: Was this rape? Everyone is up in arms.
Here’s Jared and my conversation about it.
The Top 10 Lies That Men and Women Tell
Jump to see a list of the top ten things that men and women lie about, but here’s your grain of salt: this was taken from a poll by 20th Century Fox to celebrate the release of Tim Roth’s (I think failed) show Lie to Me. So this is probably not the most accurate research on earth.
How I Spent My Morning
I woke up this morning to 90+ comments on my most recent story in Lemondrop about my “dark” secret of being goth as a teenager. The majority of them were very hateful and along the lines of “JEEEEEZ, WHO CARES? THIS ARTICLE IS STUPID. YOU CALL THIS NEWS? IF THIS IS YOUR DARK SECRET YOU LIVE A CHARMED LIFE, MORON”
I was a little nonplussed. I have to look at every comment in order to approve it since I don’t know how to make it automatically approve them all, and so I can’t just ignore the hate coming my way. I saw in one comment that the guy saw my article on AOL’s splash page.
Sure enough, it was there at AOL.com, under the rather misleading headline “Woman Kept Past From Her Fiance Till Pics Surfaced at a Relative’s Funeral“
So to all of you that clicked that link thinking it was going to be news or some tawdry story of sex change, I do apologize. It’s just a fun little story about me growing up. And to all of you who called me a poseur for not staying goth, you’re right. Now, let’s all be pals again, huh?
Can casting directors predict the future? Let’s find out.
David Moscow, the kid who makes a wish to be big in the movie “Big” and gets the wish granted, is now 34, the age Tom Hanks was when he played the adult version of David Moscow.
Follow me?
So I wanted to see if the adult version of David Moscow ended up looking anything like Tom Hanks at 34.
So here's Tom Hanks as an adult David Moscow...
Gynomite’s Emotional Assignment of the Day
Let’s check in on our personal wellness, shall we? This list of questions comes from The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook by Edmund J Bourne, and it’s a book a highly recommend for people with anxiety issues.
