Do They Speak English In Australia?
Oh my god? Why am I watching MTV’s Next? Did this girl just say that? Normally, I am more dorky in my guilty pleasure television watching, catching such glorious shows such as The Dog Whisperer. Now that is good stuff. If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing Cesar Millan work his magic, in his cute little Mexican accent no less, well, you might be missing out. In the intro he says, “I rehabilitate dogs, I train people.” If that’s not enough to make you love him, he frequently acts out the dog’s behavior. Yes, that means he pants, wags his tail, barks, whimpers, and even licks. Amazing. Cesar is the alpha male. ¶ 4:58 PM 0 comments

The Most Economically Significant Holiday of the Year
Now, after reading the title of this post, I know what you’re thinking. I’m one of those X-Mas haters, that I think Christmas should be about the important things, like family togetherness, and not just be about presents. Well, you’d be wrong. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I present you with a photo that’s being sent around my mom’s work. She doesn’t even know these people, but her boss felt the need to spread it around. The subject line read, “Happy Holidays from the Szymanski's.” That is all for now. Look forward to my future musings on Wal-Mart, purple and pink being the new Christmas colors, and why you should buy Jessica Simpson’s Christmas Album. And, if you’re curious, I’ve put up my favorite albums of the year on my audioscrobbler. ¶ 8:02 PM 0 comments

Give Your Dogs Plastic Surgery and Have Indian Friends Name Your Children
I am in love with Devendra Banhart. Not really, I just like saying that, but he is the musician of the moment, in my world, anyway. This is what I do when I discover an artist, I become temporarily obsessed. I get my hands on all released tracks, read reviews and interviews, watch the music videos, and usually do a google image search. As I am writing this I’m also watching the video for "A Ribbon." I admit it. I found him via Pitchfork (shhh, don’t tell!) and am quite late to hop on the Devendra train. Nonetheless, I am with it now. Introduce youself. You know, astronauts. ¶ 1:13 AM 3 comments

Part I In This Week's Series On the Rules
Future place of my very own, self-imposed blogging guidelines! ( just in case you wanted to know) Look forward to answers for all your urgent questions, such as, "how often will you update?" or "Is this worth my time?" Until I get back to this, there are no rules! Already I can see that I'm going to have to give myself limitations on exclamation point usage!
1. Anyone can comment. Anonymous comments welcome. Maybe, Mom, you shouldn't comment. That might be embarrassing, but you’re cool and I love you, so who cares?
2. Some pictures are probably copyrighted, but you know what, it’s free publicity (to a very limited audience I’m sure, but still).
3. Hmm… ¶ 12:56 AM 1 comments

Placentas, Oh It's a Bloody Mess!
Homo sapiens have the toughest time giving birth. The size of the infant's head is as big as it can possibly be in relation to where, it, um, comes out of. Gorillas, man, they have it easy. But this blog is not a primate, and I don't know of any research being done on intensity of pain one feels while giving birth to one. Until I have a real kid, I have nothing to compare this to. For now, get me the epidural!
