New Favorite Site

nobody@vox.com(Mandi Rigma) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:55:44 -0700

So the guy who does Stuff White People Like just scored a $300,000 book deal -- something I think we can all agree would never happen if the person who ran the site was not white. I still find the site pretty entertaining and funny, but Stuff White People Do is a site written by white folx that you can take to school with you.

(FTR, I got petted a lot by white folx when I was in high school too... Mystique can attest to that. I had the "pretty Asian hair." Also, if you never understood why I have steadfastly refused to read Memoirs of a Geisha, this is why.)

How did you maintain your milk supply while pumping during the day?

(That, and, did any of you take herbal supplements like fenugreek while on the mini-pill?)

This movie looks so beautiful it almost makes me cry.

What Would Jesus Buy Trailer

Don't get me wrong, I truly do love Christmas. My daughter isn't even born yet and I still can't help buying her Christmas gifts. But when it comes to our babygirl, AJ and I try to keep a level head about it all. Believe me, it isn't our intention to turn our daughter into the asshole kid who tells all her classmates that there's no such thing as Santa Claus, but we would like her to know the difference between holiday spirit (that it's a special time to appreciate the people you love and miracles and the uniqueness of every human being and the beauty of the world around you) and the so-called "true meaning of Christmas" as fundamentalists would believe (which, IMO, ironically isn't even really about Christ anymore, but the "persecution" Christians face, what with everyone acknowledging all these other holidays around Christmastime).

My uncle is the kind of guy who thinks there's some kind of war going on against Christian beliefs, gets really heated up when my cousins and I try to get under his skin by wishing him "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." And I just read some blog post about a ridiculous children's book claiming that the red stripes in candy canes somehow symbolize the blood of Jesus Christ (I thought Christmas celebrated Jesus's birth, not death...). When really, isn't the Christmas we're all guilty of celebrating all about consumerism anyway?

I mean, real reverend or not, this guy does have a point.

Drummers are hot.

Travis Barker isn't really my type (maybe he woulda been in high school...), but I am liking his new thing of remixing popular rap songs. And there's just something that gets me all hot and bothered about watching people actually make music.

How To Wash Your Hands.

This is a diagram that was recently stuck on all the mirrors in the bathrooms at my work. Mind you, I work in a huge corporate setting where I'd say about 95% of the people there have at least finished high school.
