Pop Culture
Ok - I am a pop culture junkie. I love Duran Duran - still, I watch reality tv (not all of them - I do have some standards), and I get excited every time
there is a new muppet movie coming out. My family wonders why I enjoy lowbrow entertainment, but have come to accept it. Anyway - enjoy..
This section contains my thoughts and opinions and speculations about the things I like and don't like about pop culture.

Is Watson Wrong?
And more to the point, is he a racist?
10/26/07
I don’t think so. It took me a while to track down the actual first article that led to this furor. It is a little frustrating that the main contentious quote technically stands alone, so we have to take the writer’s word for it that the antecedent of the anaphor “this” actually is what she claims it to be.

David Copperfield’s Many Problems
10/24/07
Ok – I realize that there are more important things going on in the world. Not only is the US prepping for war against Iran – as if we have enough military to do it, and California is in the grips of rather nasty Santa Ana fed fires (notice the plural). But, I am writing about Copperfield because what we are being told doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Write Comment (1 comments) |

Dancing with the Stars

10/16/07
I love this show! And this is the best season yet. I am sad to see Wayne Newton go, but he was a bit stiff in his dancing. I hope he is the special guest tonight as he rocks! I saw him in concert a couple of years ago and he is just so wonderful. Write Comment (1 comments) |

I am scared of Fairy Rings

10/9/07
There – I’ve said it. Ok, I understand that these rings of mushrooms are a natural phenomenon. I do. The fungus is living under the ground, spreading out and the caps we see are actually just the flowers of a larger organism. The fact I understand the natural explanation doesn’t change anything. I still have absolutely no intention of ever stepping into one of those rings. Write Comment (8 comments) |

Yummy Yummy Putin
8/27/07
Ok – so the guy’s democracy track record is horrible. You have to admit – this guy is hot in a gay porn sort of way. I love these photos. Yummy. It turns out that he plays judo. Double plus yum. To see the entire range of photos from Putin’s vacation – check out the der speigel website. http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/0,5538,23927,00.html Write Comment (0 comments) |

Sexual
Metaphors

7/27/07
Look at the above image. Does it scream sex? No, it is romantic, but not particularly sexy. If you have a TV and watch it, then you probably
recognize this image from the Cialis commercials. You know the ones, where a happy couple ends their romantic evening by taking baths outdoors in
separate tubs. Sometimes they even hold hands! How risqué. My problem is that it isn’t very sexy. In fact, if you
didn’t know what they were selling, you probably wouldn’t guess it was a sexual aid just from an image of two people sitting in separate
side-by-side bathtubs. To me, it looks like an ad for a romantic vacation destination.

Predicting Potter
7/19/07
With just two days left till I
get my copy of “The Deathly Hollows” and despite the pre-release of the book on the web, I am hereby pledging that at this time I have not read
the book. What follows are my thoughts and predictions of what might happen in the final book. Again, I have no idea if my predictions are
right, I have just obviously been thinking about it a lot and yes, I saw Phoenix last Thursday. Write Comment (0 comments) |

Quién es más macho?
Stuart or Karl
7/2/07
I am a fan of Most Haunted. I just love this show. It is still good even though Derek is no longer on it. But a new dynamic has developed, a machismo contest between Stuart and Karl. Karl is the producer and Stuart is their lighting cameraman. Write Comment (0 comments) |
