Rice cakes feature a lot on this blog, but my new favourite way to eat them is to make a rice cake “sandwich” - one ‘slice’ is PB and banana, the other raspberry jam. Smush them together and you have a healthier, vegan and gluten free PB&B&J. :D
Yum
great idea

This has to be one of the most unfortunate swimsuits I have ever seen. I just nicked this (photo, unretouched) from jcp.com.
Please reblog. This deserves to go viral.

The book was good, albeit farfetched. The movie was just awful. Glossed over a lot of things with a stupid feel-good ending.

Worst Governor of the Week. A Throwdown!
It’s a battle for Worst Governor of the Week. Who is worse: Scott Walker, who wants to get rid of state-funded women’s cancer screenings or Rick Scott (funny, how Scott is a common denominator here)who insulted a bunch of black college students by saying he grew up poor like them. Uh, not all of them are poor, you moron.
My vote goes to Walker. This week.
Just wait til Rick Perry returns from his ill-fated foray into national politics. He’ll be a weekly contender with these clowns.

I watched “Jane Eyre” (twice) in the last day or so. Amazing movie. I am embarrassed to say I’d never seen one of the adaptations out there. But I have a crush on Michael Fassbender, so that was a draw.
He is gorgeous, in a weird way. Saw him in “Fish Tank,” and even though he played a creepy dude, he was still hot. Looking forward to seeing his latest, “Shame,” in which he won Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards the other night.
Anyway, stumbled upon this and thought I’d share his gorgeousness with all of you…

setting a terrible example
I spent much of yesterday reading the NYT story about Jerry Sandusky, along with the hundreds of comments from readers. In between, I had this fascination with Herman Cain’s impending announcement, where he ultimately suspended his campaign.
The Sandusky story makes me seethe. I felt like the reporter was too even-handed in how she treated him (watch the video linked above). She seemed way too empathetic and easy on him in her questioning. I realize she is highly decorated as a journalist. I get the notion of being empathetic in hopes of making the subject relax and tell all. Unfortunately, this guy is a fucking sociopath and deserved to be subjected to what I call “bad-cop interviewing.” This is where, after having gotten nowhere with the “good-cop” style, where you lob softballs, you start hammering the person and not letting them off the hook. Hell, Bob Costas did a great job of chipping away at this asshole.
I think Becker underestimated what she was dealing with and ended up letting him lie and soft-peddle his way through the interview.
I even did a little research, just because I am intrigued by this guy and his audacity. If you read some of the story’s comments, there are former victims of pedophilia who said that they always deny what they did and try to make it sound like the child encouraged it.
It discourages me that people like this guy are revered, along with JoPa (Joe Paterno), just because they had a winning football team. Does that mean winning trumps sacrificing good character and maturity and doing the right thing?
And then there’s Herman Cain. His poor wife. It was astonishing to hear him say that all those women and their stories are just not true. Just like Sandusky.
How do so many women, independent of each other, all have compellingly similar stories? If he were truly innocent, then he would have kept on going. Clearly, he knows they’ve got something on him.
And people fawned all over him and will continue donating money to him, since he shrewdly “suspended” his campaign.
I’m just waiting until Fox News decides it’s time to trot him out as a guest commentator, like Sarah Palin, because he ain’t good for much else. He doesn’t deserve it, nor does she. But life isn’t fair that way.

Jerry Sandusky is a liar.
Jerry Sandusky interview: He denys everything, claims the McQueary shower incident was “horseplay” and that the alleged victim was “sliding across the floor.” Bob Costas is asking direct questions and Sandusky is offering tough denials. Costas on the denials: If the allegations are false, “You are the unluckiest and most persecuted man that anyone has ever heard of.”

Man, I fucking love this. I can’t post to FB, out of fear of freaking out colleagues etc. But this song has such a nasty sound. Yeah, the lyrics aren’t really safe for work. Crank this one up!

No Protein Here
Me and b/f walk into Nutri-shop, this place filled with tubs of protein: do y'all make smoothies?
Clerk: No.
b/f: It says you make shakes.
Clerk: We used to, but we ran out of protein.
b/f and I, gobsmacked, look at each other: oooooohkayyyyy. (We walk out stage right and burst into laughter.)
and, scene.
