Sorry, but Yahoo! Oddly Enough is really funny today. Aside from the Santa Helicopter crash, we have this girl who would like the freedom to pose her naked barbies with kitchen appliances... in of all places? Utah.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A federal appeals court has upheld a Utah artist's right to make nude photos of Barbie dolls being menaced by kitchen appliances.

Ah the wonders of a Manhattan apartment. This man was trapped in his for two days under a pile of books and magazines!!
I woke up to this story on NPR:
The 27th of December was supposedly the one year anniversary of the first cloned human being. Her name (shocker) is Eve. Her scientist parents belong to a religion called Raelian. In said religion, members are encouraged by aliens, to clone human beings. Well, in said religion, members are basically encouraged by aliens in life. They say that the name of God (Elohim) means not God, but “those who came from the sky”. So anyway. After making this announcement last year - that they had successfully cloned the first human being – the group of scientists/alien freaks are opting for silence. They will not tell the progress or whereabouts of Eve. Check out this funk.
I just want to know who cloned themself? I mean really.

There is a zen to be found in ice skating. Its the same zen that a woman can find while walking in high heels. In both sports you really have to concentrate on the simple act of staying vertical, and keeping your ass above sea level. All of this concentration can really clear your thoughts. I find both excruciatingly relaxing.
The thing that sucks about buying new beautiful lacy bras that make your tits look fantastic, is that you can't really show off your new goods to the general public. When people ask me about my christmas presents I want to show them what I dropped my money on. Lift up my shirt - "aren't these bows to die for!! God, right when I saw this bra, I knew it was mine! The lace, the color, the way it fits. Doesn't it look fantastic??!!"
That's the downfall of wearing beautiful new bras. They are hidden.

Last night I watched Elephant, by Gus Van Sant. After the finish of the movie about five people ran out of the theatre, and the other 15 of us just sat there in silence. I couldn't consider going out on the street. I had to sit and stare. get mad. get sad. I wanted someone to say something - but at the same time, didn't want anyone to ruin that golden silent moment.
This movie is a must see for all of you who were at one time in high school. Please see this in the theatres before it leaves. Gus deserves the ticket sale. This was the most moving picture I have watched all year.
Finally.
That is why I went - in hopes of finally seeing a movie that would leave me breathless.
It worked.
If you are totally clueless as to when/where Elephant is playing - I will personally look up the information for you, and send you directions to the theatre closest to you. Just email me your zip code, or something like that.
Go just knowing you should see it. I don't suggest looking up spoilers.

Oops! Someone take this sign down!! THERE MUST BE A MISTAKE!!
My homeland is being attacked. By loggers. Pres. Bush has decided to change yet another sensible rule set up by the Clinton administration. This time it involves the trees in the Tongass National Forest.
Unfortunately I saw this too late.
Here is a map of OUR NATION'S LARGEST NATIONAL FOREST:
Here is a guy who walked around Alaska in 1975, for National Geographic:

Today I received a late Christmas present from the early Stuart Ross. It is a book called Lunch Poems by my favorite Frank O'Hara. I was going to read one poem a day during my lunch breaks because I thought that sounded "eulogy" nice (i tend to work under the pretense of how it will sound in a eulogy):
"She appreciated Frank O'Hara, and used to read one poem a day during her lunch break from his book Lunch Poems. This book can be purchased on Amazon.com for $12.99 - or you might find a nice used copy down at The Strand on 12th and Broadway."
So anyway, it goes like this:
Lana Turner has collapsed!
I was trotting along and suddenly
it started raining and snowing
and you said it was hailing
but hailing hits you on the head
hard so it was really snowing and
raining and I was in such a hurry
to meet you but the traffic
was acting like the sky
and suddenly I see a headline
LANA TURNER HAS COLLAPSED!
there is no snow in Hollywood
there is no rain in California
I have been to lots of parties
but I have never actually collapsed
oh Lana Turner we love you get up
1962
