It really sucks to be a woman.

I just felt the need to post something...anything, really.

Maybe i'll start with how i'm feeling: SHITE.

Yes it is that time of the month, but that shouldn't mean that I feel depressed, oversensitive and obsessive about little things does it??

I kid you not, until this year I never noticed-or-believed that I was affected by my hormones in any real way. I don't get period pain (TOUCHWOOD) and I don't worry about following my period to see exactly when it's due..I just kind of let it happen. I start to get hints by my skin being more oily and less perfect, and then *BAM*, one day, there it is.

I realise this is a very uncomfortable topic for ALL men, and some women. But I'm not scared of it. Heck if I have to put up with bleeding for 4-7 days a month then I'm sure as hell not going to be embarrassed to address the issue. It is our right as tyrannical, hormonal, irrational women to have some outlet to such a discomfort.

Men face sterility and unspeakable pain if anything makes less-than-gentle contact with their 'nads, and women have the agony of childbirth. Fair trade-off?? I think not.

So when I get a bit crazy (worse than usual) or insecure around 'that time of the month', I expect people to be understanding.

The thing is, I hate people who use PMS as an excuse to be a mega, insane BITCH, and I was never the girl who brandied about this inconvenience as a right to maim. I just accepted that I had fiery Italian blood, and blamed any anger-issues on that. But really, in all seriousness, I have started to accept that I do feel low, upset or am quick to take offence in direct proportion to my current cycle.

It pains me to say that, but it's true. I understand that ladies should try their best to be rational about such things, but please realise, that with everything going on inside their bodies such a miraculous request is not always plausible. Just try to ride out the storm in the most caring way that you can - it's always so much worse to be the one living through the tumult and bleeding from a very private place than it is to be a mere observer.

The WORLD'S BIGGEST Wedding!!

Wow, well I posted regarding the World's heaviest man a little while ago, and how he has been trying to lose weight.

But now something even more EXCITING.

"MONTERREY, Mexico - The world's most obese man is getting hitched.

Manuel Uribe says he will wed longtime girlfriend Claudia Solis on Oct. 26 in Monterrey, Mexico. The two will be married in a civil ceremony at a location still to be decided.

Uribe is unable to walk, and leaving his house means being towed through the streets on his specially made bed.

This year the Guinness Book of World Records declared Uribe, who tipped the scales at 1,230 pounds in 2006, the world's heaviest man.

The 43-year-old has shed about 550 pounds since with the help of Solis. The two met four years ago.

Uribe said Wednesday he will have a bite of wedding cake for photos, but won't eat any more because his diet prohibits it."

CERN HADRON = Our Oblivion?? Or a quicker way to make cheese toasties?

ummmmm....ok so I know I almost missed the boat on this one, but last week media outlets were going crazy thinking it was going to be the END OF THE WORLD as a result of a crazy experiment that physicists were going to perform underground on the border of France and Switzerland.

Everybody held their breath....and when the moment had passed they breathed out and took another one. Life was still going, the world still turning, and hysteria unanswered.

But it turns out that the experiment wasn't the REAL one, it was just a small lead-up test, and the real thing is still set to go off with a bang (I hope not literally) sometime in the near future.

You see, even though I only found out about the situation today, I feel there is a very real reason to be scared - and I do not say that lightly :|

here is a quote from the official Website of the scientists of the experiment:

"The LHC is a machine of extreme hot and cold. When two beams of protons collide, they will generate temperatures more than 100 000 times hotter than the heart of the Sun, concentrated within a minuscule space."

That doesn't sound good. They want to create a situation where there is a vastly higher heat than the sun, and in a smaller place HERE ON EARTH. Call me crazy but isn't it also scientifically proven that the Sun is so hot humans would not even be able to get anywhere NEAR the fiery orb without burning into oblivion????????!!!??!?!?!?!?


That's not the worst of it - check out the website to get the full idea of just how terrifying and real this is: http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/Facts-en.html

The experiment also apparently hopes to RE-CREATE the BIG BANG, in a long effing tube-thing underground. There are hypothesis that a giant "black hole" will be created, sucking in the Earth. And these are the kind of things that the scientists aren't ruling out!!

I hate to jump on the bandwagon with the likes-of people who called "END GAME" with the whole Y2K thing. But this is seriously concerning. Especially since they are so vague about the safety measures...

What FUCKING IDIOTS!!! How about they take their little suicidal, hairbrained, self-indulgent idea and fly off to Pluto or Jupiter or something, and try it there.

Better yet why don't they fly a ship into the SUN and see how far they get - that would be a similar experiment that wouldn't sacrifice the other 6-Billion-odd people on the planet!!

...that said maybe the human-race does need to sacrifice itself for the good of the planet (at this rate we're irreparably damaging it anyway) but I totally disagree with a few hotheads potentially destroying the world and life-as-we-know-it (just LIFE in general) with their over-inflated sense of intelligences. Somebody stop them before it's too late.

Space Spaghetti!

THE TOP FIVE SHOWS I CAN'T WAIT TO CATCH UP ON...

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 4.5



...RECIPE FOR ALL OUT SPACE GOODNESS AND INSANITY: blow some stuff up; add aggravated civil war as well as all out robot VS. human war; have characters that fall in violent, PUNCH-HAPPY Love; A large dose of Starbuck; Complicate things with robot/human sex; human/human sex; robot/robot sex; imaginary head-sex; any other type of conceivable sex; throw in a lot of timely political commentary that mirrors the flawed human condition; add some more 'SPLOSHIONS and another smattering of the kick-arseness that is STARBUCK to spice: smush it round, and you have the best show on TV.


ONE TREE HILL SEASON 6:



Sure season 5 was over-all disappointing, but it took some big risks and some of them paid off. I don't give a blind-toss about the "WHO - WILL - LUCAS - MARRY - BLAH BLAH BLAH" storyline, but I do have great love for nathan/haley/james and most of the other character plots.

EXCEPT the s5 storyline where Brooke wanted a baby and consequently acted all psycho and "motherly" to a child she was fostering for a COUPLE of weeks (while it had life-saving surgery). SHE ACTED LIKE SHE PUSHED THAT THING OUT A HOLE THE SIZE OF A LEMON HERSELF, instead of just borrowing it for a handful of days. They hardly mentioned the poor family who actually were bringing the kid up and couldn't afford to travel with it themselves. If they pull that s*** again I may have to throw things at the TV and yell a lot.

Also if they quote Lucas' book ONE more time and claim that it was a bestseller when it sounds like the WORST story ever put to print I will be forced to get my hands on every script containing it and burn them in a giant bonfire (and at the very least fast forward any CMM scenes from then on). Can anyone spell BULLCRAP/ BORING/ LAME/ CLUTCHING-AT-STRAWS?????

I do still love the show though and I hope the writers/producers step up ALL ROUND next season.

THE MIGHTY BOOSH SEASON 3:



I STILL haven't watched it all yet :-( I'm saving it since they don't yet have season 4...
I want to buy the CD eventually, those shoupy-comic-geniuses - bless their hearts. If anyone needed a reason to watch this show here are the s2 SOUP lyrics for good measure:

Soup, soup a-tasty
Soup, soup a-spicy
Carrot and coriander
Chili Chowder
Crouton, crouton
Crunchy friends in a liquid broth
I am Gespachio, ooh
I am a summer soup, mmm
Miso, Miso
Fighting in the Dojo
Miso, Miso
Oriental prince in the land of soup!

(*Ahhh...maybe you had to be there*)

THE OFFICE SEASON 4.5 AND SEASON 5



Due to the writers' strike I haven't seen the last few eps of season 4 (or maybe just the finale - but STILL *sniff*). This show just gets better and better in my opinon, and I have to say that I find the character development, relationships and plots much funnier than the original British version. (I know some rabid BBC fans don't agree with me here. But trust me - they're WRONG).

I NEED to know how and IF Jim proposed to Pam, and IF NOT, WHY NOT?? If he did, did she say yes??! Did she say No???! If she said NO then WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HER!??! Did she maybe fall down and hit her head?!? Will she require life-saving brain-surgery as a result and realise that Jim is her one-and-only true love and finally say yes (then marry him at her hospital bedside)?!?! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS PEOPLE. Seriously, look what my imagination does when I don't have the answers. O_o NEXT SEASON HURRY UP ALREADY.

//rant over.

Last but not least, I really really wanna see:

SEASON 3 SUPERNATURAL



We haven't got it in Australia yet so I'm waiting patiently for the DVDs so I can be good and legal about it, and watch it all in a row. I am a great horror / thriller / mythology fan, so the plots and content in most of the episodes are fantabulous and always jam-packed with entertainment value. Some are better than others (I stubbornly choose to pretend the ep with a racist-possessed-killer-Ute doesn't exist).

But this is still a must see, mostly because those boys are FINE. Damn fine. And so was their ill-fated Dad (major DILF factor). Yes it is a gratuitous girly pleasure watching each episode with Dean and his snarcastic humour (HOTHOTHOT). Plus Sam with the broodiness...(though not so much). Luckily I only have to wait one month to get my hands on this sizzling-railway-train-to-hell/DVD.

Bring on October ;-)

Geography Lesson Y'all...

Down-Size-Me

The World's ultimate super-sized man once weighed 560 kg. Is this even possible?? Apparently so...

But in even BIGGER news (well, not really) the aforementioned man has now lost a F*CK-LOAD of weight - i'm talking 250 kg - that's one big fat-fatty that he's lost off his frame.

Of course, he still weighs 310 kgs, and can't walk, but with the help of a fork-lift and platform truck he has ventured out-doors for the first time in 5 months (before that it had been 5 friggin' YEARS). He was chilling outside in the fresh air, eating fish and looking at a lake. Wow. That must have been SOME lake. He has a sense of humour too - apparently joking with a fisherman that he couldn't join him on the boat because he would *crush* it. You think?

I gotta say I have respect for the guy. At least he's making an effort to down-size, and maybe somewhere in the process retrieve his quality-of-life. KEEP IT UP BUDDY!!!
Down-size away.

Scary S**T........

........I can't wait!



Seems like the whole droopy-skin-mask thing is back with a vengeance *shiver*. I want to see both so badly, but may have to have nappies on standby. Gross, but worth it.
