Speaking of amazing women in literature ...

Who'da thought Jane Eyre would be such an amazing book? I expected it to suck, cause it's big and old, and the cover design reminds me of Great Expectations. But I'm eating it up like slurpee with a spoon. Jane is such a little pistol and she knows how to get sassy like a pro.

sarah turns your world upside down - again



I love cake.
There I said it.

I love the way it looks, the way it smells as batter and baked, the way it tastesss, the way it's frosted, glazed, iced, powdered-sugared, sprinkled, sparkled, lit, sliced, the way it crumbles and the look on someone's face when you give them their very own.

That said, our very own Sarah Rose completely changed my perspective on cake with her recently published short story.

It's amazing and grotesque, and touched this little place inside me that was like 'whoa, i dunno if you should be touching me there.' And that's true literary talent.

Read CAKE

Congrats on the publishing Sarah!!

Ice Arrested!


Our favorite little guy Van Winkle was arrested for battery after an argument with his wife over a bedroom set. Here is my interpretation of what the conversation might have been like.

Ice: Damn, you know I said we shoudda gone to Ikea bitch. Now we stuck with this whack Ethan Allen shit. Don't you know the homies always hatin on the EA?

Wife: Shit Ice, you trippin. That Ikea mess only for white college kids. We be some high class muthafuckas. Our shit's some SO-LID OAK bitch!

Ice: What you say to me bitch? What you say? Who you callin white?
(walks up to her with a fringed, purple throw pillow in his hand)

Wife: No, Ice, Ice, Baby! I didn't mean nuthin! We can get that Grevback Series living room if thas what you want baby!
(backing away with handful of paint swatches in her hands)

Ice: It's too late muthafucka! Our shit be in the truck on the way NOW!
(flings throw pillow at her head, messing up her hair)

Wife: Ahh!
(drops paint swatches and throws hands in the air)

Ice: What did five fingaz say to the face??

(Ethan Allen delivery man rings doorbell that chimes "Havin A Roni")

This is Your Brain On Botox

A study released today by the Journal of Neuroscience, reports that Botox can indeed travel to the brain from the original injection site.

According to
Christopher von Bartheld, MD, at the University of Nevada School of Medicine "it can have significant and long-lasting effects on neuronal function.”

This explains why everyone in Hollywood is fucking crazy!
