I have two bloody teeth


I got my two left wisdom teeth removed last week. As I was leaving, I asked my dentist if I could keep them... not because I had a specific purpose for them but because I like to keep my options open. What if I decided that I wanted my teeth after I'd left the office? I wouldn't be able to get them!

So now I have two teeth in a plastic bag on my desk (the above picture was taken a couple of days after they'd been removed, hence the dried blood). I was going to put them in Coke to see if they'd dissolve (even though Snopes disclaims this) but we don't have any Coke since nobody drinks it in my house. I sort of want to throw them away, but what if I decide later that I want them? They're ugly and bloody though.

"Oh, Jesus."

To quote Tim Gunn.

I actually really love Paris Hilton's new song "Nothing In This World"... it's catchy as hell! I feel so ashamed. I refuse to buy it on iTunes (I feel like that'd be crossing the line), but I've been on her official MySpace and listening to it over and over.

Okay that's pretty pathetic too.

(In my defense, I hated "Stars Are Blind".)

Bread Soul Cafe sucks

So yeah. Everyone should boycott Bread Soul Cafe on 63rd and Broadway. It's the stupidest place ever.

A few weeks ago, I got soup and half a sandwich there, and I almost threw up (which rarely happens). I think it was the sandwich because my friend got the same soup and a different sandwich and was still okay. I felt so crappy that afternoon. I vowed to never go there ever again.

But anyway, on two rainy days, when I was really in the mood for soup, I decided to give them another chance. Besides, they're a little mom-and-pop store, so you know, I figured I should help them out instead of going to Whole Foods or some other giant conglomerate. Plus, B.S. Cafe is a lot closer. (Hey! I just realized that their name can be abbreviated as B.S. Cafe! Nice... this helps my argument in a very immature and childish way. Whatever.)

So today, I decide to go get a coffee and figure I'll go to B.S. Cafe again. So I order, and the cashier tells me that I can't charge anything less than $5. First of all, THAT'S ILLEGAL. Secondly, both times that I've bought soup, the purchase came out to $4.95 and they let me charge it. At least pick a consistent number! But I really do not want to buy anything other than a coffee, so I call her bluff, and I say, "Well, I don't really want anything else." So she gives me a dirty look and takes away the coffee! Law-breaking bitch.

So being a mature adult, I decide to stick it to them and I go down the street to Starbucks. Yes, Starbucks, the center of all that is evil. I order my small iced coffee with milk (which I learned is a "tall iced cafe con leche" in Starbucks World and only cost five cents more than stupid B.S. Cafe), and I purposefully order a piece of overpriced bread that cost $2.50. AND I earned some airline miles by using my credit card! And you know what? B.S. Cafe needed that $4.50 a hell of a lot more than Starbucks did.

Another thing. B.S. Cafe is really dumb. They don't even know what their name is. Their window sign says Breadsoul Cafe. Breadsoul: one word. Breadsoul is not an acceptable compound word, and it's not one of those words like Starbucks that doesn't mean anything because it's only a company name but people realize that. Breadsoul sounds like an idiot tried to pick a beatnik-like poetic name, but it doesn't work. Do breads have souls? No. Also, the sign that hangs outside their shop says Bread Sole Cafe. Bread Sole: two words. Uh, do breads have soles? No. Do they sell SOLELY bread? (Because they don't. They sell soup and coffee and other stuff.) Plus if you charge something, the vendor's name on your credit card statement is BRISTOL Cafe. We're not in England. What the hell!

Conclusion: No matter what it's called, the place sucks. Support corporations and earn airline miles!

Note: I've decided that "Bread Soul" makes more sense than Breadsoul or Bread Sole. So I'm going with Bread Soul even though none of their 500 signs do.

Vincent is delusional

Okay. Everybody needs to read Vincent's interview with Entertainment Weekly. He is even more psychotic and crazy than any of us had thought. Not to mention disgusting (i.e. calling Catherine Malandrino "too old" or inviting French girls to his room for champagne when he's married and has a kid). I shudder at the thought of all that wasted airtime with someone as grossly uninteresting and just plain gross as Vincent.

Yeah... so I don't know what else to say except that I'm pretty disturbed that Kayne's French model was supposedly three inches smaller all-around than Amanda (because Amanda is pretty darn thin).

Anyway, Tim said something hilarious in his podcast this week. Something like, "Vincent has voices in his head that speak to him and to whom he speaks." Haha. I love Tim Gunn.

PS - Suri Cruise is Asian.

Facebook is hilarious

There is a group on Facebook called "Students against Facebook News Feed (Official Petition to Facebook)"... which I found out about through News Feed. As of 15:17 EST, it has 249,386 members... and the group has existed for less than two days. This is too hilarious. A quarter of a million angry students from all different walks of life who are furious at the existence of News Feed on Facebook.

Can you imagine if 250,000 students actually rallied together for a REAL issue? Like world hunger? Human rights? Or even... Donna Martin graduating? We'd be unstoppable. Our voices would be heard.

I wonder if this is going to hit the media... because it should... 250,000 people is like a good-sized U.S. city!

Facebook is terrifying

Stalking used to be an art. Now it's effortless. Thanks, Facebook. I'm scared for my life now... it's like 1984 even though it's 2006.

The scariest thing of all is that there are little high school kiddies out there who think that all this is normal. Well... it's not. Boo.
