... of the week December 28th 2006

Blah.

I feel fat. I ate too much, I drank too much. I feel like a piece of poo and I'm lonely. Which brings me to...

Healthy Habit of the Week- Go to the Gym

Yes, please help yourself and the world out by going to the gym. And hey beat the crowds, you know that the Gym traffic is about to get out of control come January. You know, all those, uh, New Year resolutions. So, do yourself a favor, go now. Then come January, you'll totally have it out of your system and that'll be one less person at the gym. I don't know what I am talking about.

But seriously, the gym will make you feel better, make you sweat and it will get you out of the house and away from all the turkey leftovers. The Gym. Do it. You'll thank yourself.

Netflix of the Week - Another Gay Movie

Todd Stephens wrote and directed a little gem of a movie called Gypsy 83. Like all independent films, he had some trouble getting distribution. One of the reasons cited was that the film was not gay enough, whatever that means. I didn't' even think of it as a gay movie but whatever.

It seems he took that advice to heart, and made the gayest movie possible. Another Gay Movie is suppose to be a gay version of American Pie. But this movie is much more raunchy. I think it's funny and there are some surprisingly tender moments. And the cast is...pretty. Nancy Sinatra sings the theme song, "Another Gay Sunshine Day"

Thought of the Day - Whoring

I have a thought for all you sluts and whores, men and women, how do you do it? What am I lacking that you have? I've tried to be a whore, it doesn't work. I get all hussied up and I got out and shake my tail all over the place, and you know what it attracts, well, it attracts nothing. Am I trying to hard? Am I?

But I don't want to be a whore anyway, it's one of those things where, you think, "Ya, It'd be fun to be a whore!" But really, who says that?

Here, look at this website...

and here is an essay on whoring by the great Pat Califia

... of the day December 19th 2006

Recipe of the Day – Mango Pear Salsa

A great, fruity alternative to the regular old tomato salsa. Feel free to mix up the ingredients, adding your own twist.
Recipe:
1 Large Mango, diced
1 Large Pear, diced
½ large medium red onion, chopped finely
1 Thai Chile, minced
1 small cucumber, diced
2 Tablespoons of chopped cilantro
3 Tablespoons of fresh lime juice

Sprinkle lime juice on the diced pear to prevent browning. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Chill for 2 hours, and then serve. Goes great with wheat tortilla chips.

Netflix of the Day – Rambo: First Blood Part II

The total body count of this Rambo sequel is 67. A nonstop action extravaganza that’s unintentionally hilarious. To rent this film, log in to your Netflix account and click here.








Obituary of the Day - Joseph Barbera 1911-2006

His cartoons; I grew up with them, you grew up with them our parents grew up with them, our kids will grow up with them. From Yabba Dabba Doo to Scooby Dooby Doo to the wonderful works of art that was Tom and Jerry. During the 1960's the Hanna Barbera cartoons, all hand painted, old fashioned cell animation, were reaching a worldwide audience of 300 million. Just think about it, Scooby Doo, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, The Smurfs, Dastardly and Muttley, Josie and the Pussycats, Tom and Jerry, Top Cat and Captain Caveman. And that's just some of them.

MySpace Profile of the Day - Alza Benet

Ok really, I don't have to say much more about this MySpace, except...just go there. Look at all those awesome pictures. The one on the left here is my favorite. So check her site by clicking the picture. Most of Alza's photo are done by Joey James Productions. You should also check out Alza's website by clicking here.

Movie of the Week - Letters From Iwo Jima

The movie gets some much needed attention this week after the National Board of Review names it the best film of 2006. Many critics have come to disregard the NBR, I think because of something to do with them not releasing a members list or something. I mean, I really don't care, I like lists and I like awards, just give me a list, even a grocery receipt, and I'm entertained for hours. Golden Globe Nominations are next week, can't wait to see what their list looks like.

National Board of Review Top 10

1. Letters From Iwo Jima
2. Babel
3. Blood Diamond
4. The Departed
5. The Devil Wears Prada (*really, totally surprised*)
6. Flags of Our Fathers (companion piece to Iwo Jima)
7. The History Boys
8. Little Miss Sunshine
9. Notes on a Scandal
10. The Painted Veil

Celebrity of the Week - Jennifer Hudson

Yes, yes, yes. I know, I am jumping on the Jennifer Hudson band wagon. But honestly, everything about this girls success is fascinating. American Idol reject, turned Oscar front runner. I mean COME ON! This is what the Hollywood dream is all about

So, take that Fantasia!

Television Show of the Week - America's Next Top Model

I love Melrose. Love, love, love, love, love, love. I was heart broken when she lost on ANTM. She really deserved it. I have nothing bad to say about Crazy Dee, she's lovely. But, it's disappointing to see someone want something so much and be so good at it, and then not get what they deserve. I think the show took the easy way out in the editing room, making Melrose the bitch. The other girls were obviously jealous and it really is just a shame she lost. I'm sure she'll be fine, right? I hope so. I hope Melrose doesn't show up to next seasons ANTM with a gun. She may, I hope not.

Oh, and I think it may be time for a new host. What about Melrose? Just a thought. She's not nearly as fake as Ms. Banks.

Recording Artists of the Week - Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Grammy nominations were announced this week and it cames as no surprise that Mary J. Blige leads the pack with 8 well deserved nominations. But, since the Grammy's usually nominates the predictable, I love the fact that Corinne Bailey Rae was able to sneak in with a surprise nomination for song of the year with "Put Your Records On." But it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with 6 nominations, that makes me smile the most. I don't know how it they do it, but each album continues to be just as catchy as the next, if not more, so I hope they are able to get their Grammy on, come Sunday, February 11th.

Song of the Week - Mariah Carey "All I Want For Christmas Is
You"

It’s that time of year again. You know the one, where Mariah’s unusually addictive Christmas song sneaks it’s way back onto the airwaves and to the top of the Digital Download Charts. One of the only new holiday songs that seems to have become just as much a part of the holidays as say, my Uncle Bobby spiking his Eggnog and becoming a boisterous drunk at Grandma’s. That’s if she lets him out of the trailer in the backyard.

My Space Profile of the Week - Lucas Martin and His Mind Robots

Lucas Martin and His Mind Robots consits of Luke, Cheyne and of course the West Hollywood staple Alza. That's right Paris Hilton, Alza's the girl to know in Hollywood. With their debut track"Say the Word" this funky trio show us that they may be on to something hot. That, and the fact that they all take sexy pictures of themselves and post them everywhere on the My Space site. Good people, good music that will, with time get better. Be sure to check them out. You can listen to the song here.

Product of the Week - Pimp City The Game

Ok, here is a product we absolutely love. Pimp City is a party game for party people. It’s fun, slightly ris-kay, and how can you not like a game that comes with a set of shot glasses named after each of the games characters; Ivanna Hump, Gigolo Joe, Candy Sam, Sha’Neekwa, just to name a few. There are pimps, tricks, hos, sugar daddies, cat fights. So that makes it a great holiday gift for the dirty little party animal in your life. For more information check out PimpCityTheGame.com
