Jodie Foster, Mel Gibson "The Beaver"
So Matt and I went to see “The Beaver” last night (I had free tickets).
Wut.
The promotion makes you think it’s a really light movie about a guy who’s depressed but eventually learns to deal with it. And it looks like the kind of movie where my mother would be all “Oh, Mel and Jodie! This will be lovely.”
WRONG.
Usually, trailers for movies show pretty much...

confessions of an ex-omnivore: vegan standards
I’m pretty sure half the reason people look at us strangely when we say “Oh, I’m vegan” is because they think our food is shit. So when people give me that look, I generally just say “Yeah, all the food’s great and I’ve never felt better” so I DON’T CRASH TACKLE THEM FOR THEIR IGNORANCE.
Why? Let’s explore some of the reasons.

Australia: Cocoluscious is vegan ice cream for the...
So I did a “guest post” for vegansaurus because I’m superfun like that and here it is! Yay! So excite!
Anyway, that’s fun. Now I really want some CocoLuscious…
vegansaurus:
GOOD MORNING AUSTRALIA!
I should jump in here and say it: I’m a CocoLuscious addict. I first tried it as an omni and it may or may not be a large part of the reason I became vegan.

fushigiboy asked: I know exactly where you're coming from in that last post on being vegan.
As I was reading it, I just kept nodding in agreement.
Holding these beliefs just adds an odd perspective to things. It brings up a lot of questions.

Sometimes, I feel a little abolitionist.
And then another part of me says “Hey, a little different is better than none at all, because people are still going to eat animals and animal product anyway, so let’s just make it as ethical as possible.”
But what is “ethical”? Would people force their cats or dogs to get pregnant then take away their young as soon as...

Today's CD Playlist: French Study
A list of the albums I listened to today while studying french, followed by a link to my favourite track (if it’s on youtube), or the only track that’s on youtube. And probably a spiel.
Exile in Guyville Liz Phair
My partner loves this album (he says it’s probably his all-time-favourite) and, though I liked parts of it, I never really got into it. But then I ordered it, and...

A Father Who Creatively Captures His Kids
Pretty sure this guy is doing every family portrait of mine. Ever.
Another Anti-Joke
An owl and a squirrel are sitting in a tree, watching a farmer go by. The owl turns to the squirrel and says nothing, because owls can’t talk. The owl then eats the squirrel, because it’s a bird of prey
“A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says ‘Why the long face?’ The horse cannot speak english and is confused by its surroundings. It quickly gallops out, knocking over a few tables on the way.”

Big Day Out 2011 Summary
CSS: Only saw about 15 minutes, but it was fun. Not inspired to get her albums, but still.
Wunmi: Often the best time at a festival is had attending the acts you never planned to see. She was on at Lilyworld, which was essentially the hippy / stoner part of the festival. Considering how intense the rest of the festival is, having a place that’s just… chilled is excellent. Her voice was great,...
Dear Tumblr
Amen to that.

If you’re going to go down, you might as well blame it on an imaginary animal like Twitter did with their infamous Fail Whale. I’ve taken the liberty of creating this animal for you:
Please use it.
Please oh please.

Monogamy isn’t about not being tempted, it’s about staying away from opportunities to be tempted. The habits of free love die hard, and there will always be more room for failure. But the only way to not be alone is with another; no multitude of lovers will make up for the lack of that one person. But maybe the excitement of a one night stand is worth the heartache of betrayal, a few...
