I was reading Savage Love today when someone wrote in, responding to Dan’s joke about a mannequin fetish. Intrigued, I had no choice to check on Google to see whether such a thing exists. Some mannequins, after all, like the ones at Old Navy, are pretty attractive after all! While I didn’t find a ton of stuff about mannequin fetishes, but I did find this amazing website called Deviant Desires, which purports to map the world of fetishes. This is the funniest thing I have seen in on the internet in a long time. And while I wonder if it’s comprehensive, accurate or even real, you have to check it out. Click on the little links on the map to see writeups about each fetish. I particularly recommend the “inflation” and “balloon” fetishes.
NEWS FLASH! I am starting the South Beach Diet today. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s a diet created by a cardiologist in Miami named Arthur Agatston to improve the blood chemistry of his patients. Specifically, he was looking for a way to decrease bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing good cholesterol (HDL). I just so happens to also be a good for weight loss.
In some ways, it’s similar to the Atkins diet, except that it pays more attention to the type of fats you consume (less bacon) and allows you more carbohydrates. However, this diet also constricts the amount of carbs you eat; especially processed ones like in white bread. During the first (of 3) phases, you aren’t allowed to eat very many carbs, but it’s a progressive diet in that there are three phases. The second two phases allow you to phase in some of your favorite carbs back. Anyhoo, you’re supposed to lose 8-14 lbs during the first 2 weeks, which is good, since my school lethargy and achilles tendon crippledom have caused me to become more buttery. More updates are on their way!
Are you bored? Are you avoiding studying for a Strat and Org final like me? If so, then I have a treat for you. This link is for some of the coolest stuff on the internet. It’s stick figure martial arts movies, which I may have linked to before. This shit is awesome! You can easily kill an hour watching this stuff.
Incidentally, the cast photo and the iPod photo were posted to this page using my cell phone, Patrick. I will likely be posting more pictures from Patrick’s built in camera, because I just recently discovered (during some procrastinating from my negotiations final) a website called mfop2 that lets you post pictures and text to a blog using email with attachments. It goes without saying that Patrick knows how to send emails with photo-attachments.
Yes, I am studying hard here at school, mom!
Today Jeanette and I went to the mall. Of course, I went to the Apple Store, where we saw the new ipod mini. It’s pretty cool, and actually amazingly small. Here is a picture…
I recently ruptured my achilles tendon while ‘balling.’ Here is a picture of the cast I got after my surgery.
Apparently, Alexander McQueen, a fashion designer recently said that “I want to be the purveyor of a certain silhouette or a way of cutting, so that when I’m dead and gone people will know that the 21st century was started by Alexander McQueen.” See for yourself here. I think it’s really cool, actually. The models all look like space aliens.
I think it goes without saying, but can all Nader supporters pull their heads out of the asses and not vote for him this year? Click on this link to see why voting for Nader is a stupid idea. Thanks.
