When Wedding Cakes Don't Taste Good

Posted at 1:09 AM

This is a still shot from the shaky-cam film Rachel Getting Married. I begged my mum to buy this DVD (pirated :D) because I had a good feeling about it. (I always have good feelings about potentially good movies...and my judgment of it after watching it is always strikingly similar to that of Roger Ebert!!! I'm a natural at film criticism!!! Ok ok dah perasan)

The film stars sweet, angelic Anne Hathaway as a junkie who came out of rehab to attend her weight-obsessed sister's wedding to an African-American musician. That's just the main gist of the film. When you get to the end of it, you'll realize what a gem Jonathan Demme (of The Silence of the Lambs fame) has dug up and polished.

The ethereal shots and hippie music set the mood aptly, but it is the characters and dialogue that really draw you in, as if you're a part of this wedding; a part of their dysfunctional lives. There are also some candy-sweet surprises here and there, with an overall core emotional value that is beyond storytelling genius.

Box Jelly

Listening to Meiko's "Under My Bed"

Did you know???

The deadliest creature in the entire world is...

NOT the poison dart frogs of the Costa Rican jungles,

or the stonefish,

or the black mamba snake...

It's the Sea Wasp/Marine Stinger/Box Jelly.

The 'bell' of this jellyfish can get as a big as a basketball with up to 60 tentacles hanging down up to 15 feet. They're not aggressive, but they're fast. The poison trapped in their tentacles is designed to kill their victims almost instantly, so that the victims do not rip their tentacles mid-struggle.

Solution? Pantyhose. Aussie lifeguards sport this female innerwear in order to protect themselves from a watery death, and it works. Scientifically.

Haiyah nothing to post so I have to be un-original.

Stinking Bishop

Cheese was born 4000 years ago. That means the ancient Egyptians had cheese, too. They also probably ate cheese from the titties of buffalo, reindeer, camels, and yaks.

This is the image of a Stinking Bishop. Love the name.

hard vegetarian cheese from Gloucestershire
created by Charles Martell from cow milk
washed and rubbed with perry, an alcoholic drink made with a local variety of pear called the "Stinking Bishop"
meaty flavour
fat content up to 48%
affinage takes from 6 - 8 weeks

FYI: Affinage is the most crucial step in cheese making and involves the aging process. Approximately 50% of the flavours in a cheese can be attributed to the affinage. The cheese is often aged in a cave. Affinage is a skill that takes years to perfect. The cheese can either be brushed, washed, or rotated on wheels. Marcel Petite, (translation: little morsel??) ages his wheels of Comte cheese in an old fortress for up to 12 months.

Bullcrap.

You see, people, that taking quizzes made by bimbos from womanly sites can inspire a feeling akin to that of having an intellectual triumph over lesser humans. Suddenly Britney is the anti-slut.
