Cereal Killer
My newest video. A lot of it is recycled humour from this blog entry from a few days ago, but there's some new stuff in there too. I think my favourite part is that when I uploaded this video (entitled Cereal Killer for obvious reasons), the thumbnail YouTube generated looks somewhat as though I'm trying to recreate the iconic Clockwork Orange poster shown on the right, only with a piece of Shredded Wheat stuck to my dagger, completing the pun. However, that was not my intention at all. It's just a brilliant coincidence. In truth, it's just a still from my video where I'm talking rather benignly about the size of Shredded Wheat. YouTube just happened to capture the single frame in the whole video where I look like a cereal-stabbing sociopath.
Awesome.

Halloweenery
At any rate, I went out for drinks with my friend Jayson last year, and looking around the club I was at, noticed that I was the only female in the entire place not sporting a slutty costume. I started to actually feel a little self-conscious over how trampy I didn't look!
My favourites were the girls who dressed as Slutty Axl Rose and Slutty Slash, but there were also slutty witches, slutty devils, even one girl dressed as a slutty bee. I gotta be honest... the slutty bee confused me a little. After all, a bee colony consists of drones (the males), workers (asexual females) and queens. Queens are the only female bees who really get any action, and they are repulsive huge pulsating Jabba The Hutt-like entities who sit in the middle of the hive and lay eggs nonstop. Anyway, the queen bee is the only slutty bee, and she's just not that sexy by human standards... but I digress.
I guess I decided I wanted to just once have my own slutty costume, just to see what all the fuss was about. I got to talking with my sister about what I should dress as, and one of the ideas that she tossed out was Slutty Alex DeLarge -- sort of a form-fitted take on the famous droog's uniform. Well, it was about then that I realized I DID want to go as Alex... but... not Slutty Alex (well -- unless you take into account that the guy was a serial rapist). Accurate Alex! Worse yet, I want to use my androgynous body to my advantage for once and go as a male human dressed as Alex DeLarge. Yeah, I don't think I'll ever have a slutty costume. It's probably for the best... nobody needs to see that!
The best part about this costume is that I have just about everything I need in my closet already, with the exception of the bloody eyeball cuffs and of course the codpiece (no really, I don't have a cricket jockstrap just laying around).
I went to Value Village in hopes of finding some inspiration as to what I was going to fashion that infernal codpiece out of, and that's where I found it... a negligee in the perfect shade of beige. All I would have to do would be to make a padded belt with a bit of an extension in the front, tuck in an athletic cup, et voila!
I took my find to the counter where I met a rather jaded cashier. She gave me a condescending look and said "I don't know why people buy this stuff. I am soooo sketch about used underwear."
"Oh no, it's not like that!" I replied. "It's for the codpiece I'm making!"
Yeah, her jaw pretty much hit the floor, and I left without explaining myself. Good times. Anyway, expect pictures of the costume a little closer to Halloween! What's everyone else going as?

I want the Mini Wheats guy DEAD.
So first off, what failure of evolution finds eating Mini Wheats to be difficult? Neurosurgery is hard. Running a marathon is hard. Eating Mini Wheats is a challenge I've been up to since I was a toddler. Tell your kids wussy with their "little mouths" to suck it up.
Okay, it's not actually the product itself to which I object. It's actually kind of a good idea. Still, it is a bit funny how they have to stress the ease of eating these particular Mini Wheats. If your morning bowl of cereal is the most difficult thing you have to deal with, I would like to have your life please.
What really bugs me is how that mindless frosted jackass stresses all the wrong syllables just to fit the meter of Limbo Rock. Min-EEEE Wheats? They're not called that! Try again, idiot! This is not his first offence either -- he does the same in nearly all his commercials.
If they were thought-provoking well-crafted lyrics, I might be a little more forgiving, but they're inane and tend to be about fibre content. I hate him. I hate him so bad! May Tony The Tiger rip his ass to Shreddies.
And this is why I don't watch television.
