The Early Days

From what I can tell, this looks like a woman with a tiny head and huge breasts:
It is, according to Economist.com, “probably the oldest human statue yet discovered,” carved from a mammoth tusk.
An interesting discovery, yes. The short blurb ends with this: “[…] this discovery adds to the evidence that human thinking—or male thinking, at least—has hardly changed since the species evolved.” I just glanced over these words and exited the page, but something caught my eye and I backtracked. “Male thinking,” really? Who’s to say that this wasn’t carved by a woman? It may be easy to wrap this statuette in a stereotype, and I know that comment was meant to be light-hearted, but I refuse to be taken in with such an easy joke.
Tastes Like Bacon…I Hate Bacon

I was sitting at my desk at 1:37AM trying to suppress a sudden and severe craving for Noodles & Co Mac and Cheese when I stumbled upon an antidote. The emptiness in my stomach remained, grumbling at me, but my desires for food fled.
Do you see that? Look closely. Those are ants. Giant toasted ants. And they apparently “taste like bacon.” Want more?
How about ants in your lollipop? They purportedly will give you an “energy boost.” Can you imagine handing these out at Halloween?
Or perhaps you would prefer Mopani worms? They’ll make an “interesting addition to dinner parties!” Sure, if by “interesting” they mean “I would only serve them to my mortal enemy or an annoying pest that I wanted to never return to my house.”
There are more selections like this at Edible.com, including reindeer paté [which I would actually consider eating] and weasel coffee [regurgitated by, not made from]. I will eat many things but I will never eat insects. I know they’re healthy, but they are by far too disgusting to even consider.
Shoes Off In The House

Unless I’m dead tired, it’s pretty easy to make me laugh in the wee hours of the night. This is simply a delight, especially considering how repetitive and stupid the original song is [and how much I love parodies]:
Somebody spread the word, please: living with an Asian person usually means that shoes come off at the door. It hasn’t been easy these past two years at college, living with Roomie #1 and #2, who are both white and do not come from families where shoe removal is required.
I laughed at the first appearance of the two ripped guys in tank tops [0:32] — totally unexpected, and they look so serious! That definitely drew me in [yum Asian boys with big guns]. Then I could not stop laughing at 2:45 during the little interlude; such shenanigans are reminiscent of the Back Dorm Boys. The one in the black tank top [is it okay for me to call it that? I don’t like the term “wifebeater”] is really cute, which makes me happy that there are more videos! This one is also hilarious:
Their dancing/hip thrusting reduces me to LOLs every time. Also, why does the one in the grey shirt look so unnaturally orange when he eats rice?

I’ve been thinking about starting a new blog, one that is more specialized [instead of simply ramblings about wherever my thoughts wander] than this one. Since I love watching music videos and I already blog about them a lot, I decided to channel that energy into a separate blog. I present to you, Music Video Dominion. I am not yet sure how [or if] these two blogs shall interact, but for now, please refer there to satisfy all music video needs.
