Worthwhile
I do recommend visiting the Fritz Scholder exhibit. After a semester with only one trip to an art museum, visual input had been at an all time low. When getting in touch with the less than 1% Cherokee in my blood at the Smithsonian American Indian museum, I happened upon this exhibit, and it was inspiring.

Baby Watch 2008 Wrap-Up
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz named their son Bronx Mowgli. As much as I may be ashamed of this fact, I’ll admit I kinda love the name. Not something I would ever give to an innocent fetus with a chin the size of an average Hollywood hill and eyeliner practically tattooed to its face. But it’s something I’m glad someone else did so I can live vicariously through them.
Jessica Alba named her baby Honor. Whoop-de-doo. As gorgeous as she is, I think she is one of the most boring celebrities out there. Gentlemen, feel free to substitute the lack of text here with a google image search. It should suffice.
Halle Berry and her model boyfriend had what is likely to be the most beautiful future person ever. Halle has a made full body recovery and was found running around topless in a Canadian city this week for filming a movie about a woman with multiple personalities, one of which is a caucasian racist.
Matthew McConaughey and his model girlfriend had a lil kid Levi. Also up for most beautiful future person ever.
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden had a baby girl. The child is Joel in the female form but still pulls off cute. I think that’s a blessing in itself considering Nicole was found driving the wrong way down a freeway only weeks before getting impregnated. Go Nicole.
Angelina and Brad Pitt had twins in France. 6 kids, 3 boys, 3 girls, 3 biological, 3 adopted. I hate their perfection.
Clay Aiken went the turkey baster route to become a dad. So did Ricky Martin. One came out of the closet, and one is still in there.
To the Beat of a Different Didgeridoo
Nicole Kidman recently appeared on a German talk show to promote her new movie ”Australia”. All thoughts on Baz Luhrman movies aside, Kidman blew a lil didgeridoo on the talk show. And it looked like everyone was having fun, including Hugh Jackman. And then the aboriginees had to come in with their voodoo curses and ruin every one’s good time.
Since women aren’t supposed to play the sacred instrument, the Australian natives have put a curse on Nicole so that she is now barren. 1) That sounds like a pretty disgusting culture to me. 2) Nicole Kidman? The woman had two miscarriages with Tom Cruise back in the day and just had her first kid at 41. When it comes to voodoo curses, can’t they at least pick a woman that’s a greater challenge? Jesus.
What disgusts me even more is the lack of attention this has gotten on pop culture sites. PerezHilton made some joke about botox babies, PinkistheNewBlog made a joke about blowing Tom’s didgeridoo, and the ”feminists” at Jezebel didn’t even cover the story. Given that these websites are run by either gay men or college educated females, one would assume that these groups would be the most outraged against this blatant tribal sexism. Unfortunately, these very groups have put on a tolerance mask that makes them ignore even outright intolerance.
it’s not my fault; it’s how i’m programmed to function.
I always though Lily Allen was alright ever since my dear roommate V (the one without a vendetta) put “smile” on a playlist for a dirty dance party back in the day. And for the next two years I still thought she was alright, albeit a lil crazy. After watching this video, I realized she’s better than alright. She´s fan-freaking-tastic.
