another 80s teen flick.

new movie coming out, i guess...set in the 80s...! looks a little bit shitty, mostly awesome. looks like they're trying to capture a little of the awesomeness that was adventureland...but i guess "imitation is the highest form of flattery," right? so i should be flattered. because, you know, i wrote that movie.

I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION THAT IS BURNING A WHOLE INSIDE YOU RIGHT NOW!

is this movie set in 1987?!?!?!

nope. 1988. initially, i was filled with a mix of anger (because these movie people apparently didn't think 87 WAS WORTHY ENOUGH) and happiness (because i think it is so weird that they all choose 1987 as their 80s year of choice. "they" being the movie people.) now i don't know what to think. tell me what to think, people.

also, could someone post on their blog?! like seriously....i'm pulling all the weight this week.

On the heels of World AIDS Day comes a stunning medical breakthrough: Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure.

Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin Patient," received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia. His doctors recently published a report in the journalBlood affirming that the results of extensive testing "strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved."

Brown's case paves a path for constructing a permanent cure for HIV through genetically-engineered stem cells.

Last week, Time named another AIDS-related discovery to its list of the Top 10 Medical Breakthroughs of 2010. Recent studies show that healthy individuals who take antiretrovirals, medicine commonly prescribed for treating HIV, can reduce their risk of contracting the disease by up to 73 percent.

While these developments by no means prove a cure for the virus has been found, they can certainly provide hope for the more than 33 million people living with HIV worldwide. Alongside such findings, global efforts to combat the epidemic have accelerated as of late, with new initiatives emerging in the Philippines and South Africa this week.

AN EMAIL FORWARD of non-lame proportions.

i got this email and i want y'all to do it. it take two seconds & it's pretty much awesome.

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL...

If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a few seconds.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them.

This is a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time to pass it on to others. We can never say enough thank you's to our troops.

you guys i'm not even joking

i fucking screamed bloody murder when i saw this shocking and awful headline!!!!
http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b216216_scarlett_johansson_ryan_reynolds_split.html

fucking power couple, yo :( i really hope they reconcile...for my personal sake. then zac efron and vanessa something split up, kind of sad. and the couple in that show dexter. and then eva longoria and tony parker. there is only so many fake people breaking up that one blogger can take.

(see full list): http://www.goldenglobes.org/nominations/
now: golden globe nominations that have pissed me off.
this fucking irritates me: http://www.eonline.com/photos/gallery.jsp?galleryUUID=2722#104317
not a single fucking review that i read even came close to sort-of liking this idiotic movie, not even eonline which gives awful and biased reviews based on how famous the movie star is. but yet, somehow, johnny depp got nominated for it. he also got nominated for (yes, he got nominated twice! in the same category!) for alice in wonderland, which was a fucked up movie not just because it was supposed to be fucked up but just because they went way overboard for any normal person to intake, and johnny depp had 3 fucking lines. GAWWD. umm...jake G and anne hathaway got nominated each for love&other drugs....kind of surprising, yes?

what i'm happy about: even though the tourist also got nominated for BEST PICTURE COMEDY/MUSICAL (WTF) it's also in the same category as the kids are alright, so there's no fucking way it'll stand a chance. my guess is the only reason it got nominated was so angelina jo-go-fuck-herself will stir up publicity and more people will watch the fucking broadcast.

um....my beautiful amazing awesome cutiepie jesse eisenberg got nominated for the social network which i know will absolutely SWEEP the entire awards show...loved that movie. also, tina fey got nominated as well as 30 rock which is excellente.

alright this has been stupid.

BERLIN — Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie and Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck say they're touched and honored to be nominated for several Golden Globe awards for their film "The Tourist."

The three were in Berlin for the premiere Tuesday of the film that was nominated for best picture, best musical comedy actor and actress.

Depp, who was also nominated for his role in "Alice in Wonderland" said he was"very touched by the double nomination.

Jolie said the acknowledgment was an honor, then added "we were laughing because it's the first time that I've been in the comedic category so it's new for me."

German director von Donnersmarck said he was happy with the nomination for "The Tourist," his second film, which opened in the U.S. last week to generally poor reviews.

really, shithead? i laughed too, when i heard about the nomination. i laughed hard. then i started to cry because the world is so fucked up. ...what an idiot. p.s. what's with her damn hair? is she trying to look like one of the Sister Wives?

out of the mouth of my condescending, eccentric, asshole of an english teacher:

[student asking if she's teaching AP again next year] "ha..uh, no. im bowing out." THE WORLD THANKS YOU.
"eating a peach is very sexual. go home and google it."
[on lincoln assassination; in crazy condescending voice] "you don't know JACK about anything you think you know!" REALLY, YOU HAVE TO BE CONDESCENDING ABOUT LINCOLN'S DEATH?! WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM
[for a whole five min] "why is this poem free verse" ...BECAUSE IT IS HOW MANY WAYS MUST WE EXPLAIN THIS SIMPLE CONCEPT TO YOU, DUMBASS
[whitest fucker i've ever met in my life] "Oh I remember him because his name always sounded black to me." [at this time, I pressed my forehead to the desk and whispered to it, "White boy, sit down " ] ...thomp then says "No that was not racist, it was actually artistic, because he associates words with a race." .....what
"You're brilliant and you're black!" im not going to explain this one, just begin judging now
[After saying "no shit" to people's CSEs] "Don't tell anyone I said that." MUAHAHA
[Reads an anonymous CSE aloud to class] "No shit." Reads another one; expects class to repeat; class follows suit "no shit!" directed at some poor student's work. APPROPRIATE
[Student asks when the AP English test is] "Umm..." [A different student answers.] "Well the important thing is to know when AP testing begins, not when the English test is." THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE AND WHY DON'T YOU KNOW THIS?!
[Student asks what a word means on a test, she answers in her most condescending tone] "There are dictionaries back there. You should've been using that dictionary for a while now if you want to be prepared for these tests." SO, ESSENTIALLY, YOU'RE SAYING: 1. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WORD MEANS 2. WE SHOULD BE MEMORIZING A DICTIONARY IN PREPARATION FOR NOT KNOWING A SINGLE WORD ON A TEST. MAKES SENSE.
[Explaining a really fucky assignment in which we have to teach the class something] "I don't need to learn how to make a bomb or roll a joint. I already know."
[as tornado drill is being announced] "Fuck."
[After reading my quote aloud in front of class] "Meghan, are you going to prom?" ......................................justfuckingkillme
"that's just putting more milk on the same cereal." SURE, THAT'S A NORMAL THING TO SAY
[Replying to a Hamlet question] "pshh...It's not like I have the key hahaha" ISN'T YOUR COLLEGE DEGREE IN ENGLISH OR YOUR TEACHING LICENSE THE MOTHERFUCKING "KEY," YA PSYCHO?!
"I'm working my ASS off trying to help her and you guys are just sitting there la-di-da" YEAH, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE TEACHER YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TEACH THINGS THAT STUDENTS DONT KNOW, ALSO, "WORKING YOUR ASS OFF" IMPLIES MORE THAN JUST STARING AT YOUR BOOK AND ASKING HER TO REPEAT HERSELF
"Hamlet is F'ED UP!" COOL, GREAT INFO, I'LL WRITE THAT IN THE AP ESSAY CUZ THAT'S THE ONLY THING YOU'RE GIVING US
[On the shy kids not answering questions] "really guys?! it's APRIL." AND I STILL DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANSWERING YOU HUH
[On what's going on in Hamlet] "haha um... I know no more than you do." REALLY? DIDN'T YOU GO TO COLLEGE FOR THIS? DONT YOU GET PAID TO TELL US ALL THE THINGS YOU KNOW THAT WE DONT
"Do you know why I value Meghan's opinion?" *no one answers/knows what's going on/"who's meghan?" * "Because she is ART." crazy bitch i dont even know
[From the syllabus, under "teaching philosophy"] "This is our mission, and we can do it in an enjoyable, passionate, and comfortable environment." YEP, IF I COULD ONLY DESCRIBE THAT CLASS IN THREE WORDS IT WOULD BE "ENJOYABLE" "PASSIONATE" AND "COMFORTABLE" FO SHO!!!!
[To the class, laughingly, part of a 10 minute discussion of this development] "Someone sent pages from my Facebook to the principal, as they thought it was cause for concern..Who would do that?!" YEAH, THAT'S PROFESSINONAL, TO DISCUSS SOMEONE TURNING YOU IN WITH YOUR STUDENTS.
[To me in front of class] "Do you spell your name with an 'h'?" OK I GET IT CAN BE CONFUSING BUT BITCH I HAVE TURNED IN SO MANY DUMBASS ASSIGNMENTS TO YOU WITH MY NAME PERFECTLY TYPED AND PLUS DONT YOU TAKE ATTENDANCE EVERY DAMN DAY?! WTF YES
[about my cell phone extensively vibrating during a test] "One time that happened to me in court and the judge made me cry, so I'm not a bitch about it."
[this is not a real quote but is indirectly what she said through the substitute:] "today on december 23rd when 89% of you are skipping school and i am too, i want you to take two pages of notes on a fishbowl discussion that absolutely no one will monitor and which will have no grade. you must turn the notes into the basket by the end of the hour."
[on skipping school] "ehh...not the worst sin you can commit.*shrugs*" ...idk...
"I really love your tights, Meghan. Would it be cool if I bought a pair?" FUCK NO BITCH
"I love you guys!" NOOOOOO
[telling a story] "who the FUCK put my poopy clothes in the dryer?!"
"flat- meaning one-sided." REALLY?! IS THAT WHAT FLAT MEANS?!
"being drunk is funnnn"
"I don't give a damn about how you do on the test in the spring."
To her son's girlfriend, a student in our class: "You may be excused from our sexuality discussion. I already know wayyyyyy too much about your sex life." "YEAH!" says girlfriend, blushing.
"If any of you truly believe that we accept abnormality in 2011, that's a crock of shit."
"The sea is representative of some deep, heavy shit."
"My lover asked if I would still love him if he was missing toes. And I said, that depends, do you still have your fingers...?"
"Do you want to read or write today?" Read. "Pussies."
"Intelligence is much sexier than hanging boobs" [referring to a former student]
"I'm not gonna go through with this...I'm very feminine that way."
"I don't know why but your questions are annoying the hell outta me."
[During the reading of her poem about her hysterectomy]: "While lovemaking, I can feel the full force of a man"
