If the makers of this fantastic little piece of fearmongery were going to be completely honest, they would have shown the true results of a 400 kilo polar bear smashing into pavement from a great height. That imagery would certainly be far more shocking : When I watched this vid, some of the old dyslexia kicked in for a second. I thought the web address was PlanetStupid.com, not PlaneStupid.com. I...

One of the things that occurs to me this morning as I wake into the grey silence and snuggle beneath my duvet for a few more minutes before the girls come rushing in with their enthusiasm for the day, is that I was so busy focusing yesterday on the post traumatic stress disorders of war and wanting peace that I completely ignored the other part of the article. 'Two days before shipping off to war,...

Redhead Nicole overcame her shyness and fellow finalist Laura to become the first petite-cycle winner on "America's Next Top Model"! "This journey was incredibly hard," Nicole said after winning, adding: "I'm a dork and I'm 'America's Next Top Model!'"

Aww. Poor Cornpone Laura. From castratin' bulls to crumple-face crying on the CW because she came in second on America's Next Top Participant At Capetown Fashion Week . And even though she should have known Bloody Eyeball would best her—after all, the chicken-fried, homespun, molasses-dipped musings, charming though they are, could only get her so far—Bankable Productions certainly did...

So the season has come to a close and it is a face off between Nicole and Laura… Who will it be??? The fierce yet weird fiery red head or the sweeter than candy southern bell? You know I’ve been rooting for Nicole since the first few episodes so you know where my heart is but at this point anything can happen. The girls did a CoverGirl commercial and both of them kind of struggled. Laura...

Filed under: Other Reality Shows , OpEd , Episode Reviews (S13E11) I love how Tyra Banks creates revisionist history on America's Next Top Model . Not only does she denounce Adrianne Curry's name, she now is ignoring the fact that Eva, who was 5' 6.5" won Cycle Three against "normal" sized models. That's an accomplishment. This cycle's finale episode was less hectic than previous cycles...

I write my blog posts on a word document and then copy and past them over to the Blogger page; I do this because with my dyslexia it helps to see the words in a familiar style and word also helps with the spelling and layout much better than Blogger. Each time I sit down to write a post I still feel intimidated by the blank page, even though the document now runs to 153 pages and 95,500 words, more...
