Shameful that as a literature major, I’ve not read for leisure for months (which arguably is the most basic requirement for any student of literature). The availability of reading material wasn’t scarce, it was my interest that was lacking. As much as I ran-sacked every bookstore for likable finds, luck simply wasn’t on my side. I was (and still am by the way) on a non-fiction phase, so I started with Chelsea Handler’s Are You There Vodka, It’s Me Chelsea?–Well, that was a bust.
This week, however, I was fortunate enough to find my book, Kathy Griffin’s Official Book Club Selection, and jump start my reading habit back on track.

It’s no secret that I love love love Photoshop. This what I’ve come up with after a very fruitful hour, a panoramic-esque representation of Mimi’s weight continuum. Looking at her history, Mimi tends to yo-yo from image 1 to image 2. But the one on the right most part is my personal favorite (because of the cankles) and the inevitable future–since Mimi has announced that she’s planning to bear children. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for that one.
As for my “Continental Drfit Theory,” based on the pictures, there is a definite growth and movement with Mimi’s mammaries. Will write this new development on my notebook.

I’m probably in the minority here, but wasn’t the video campaign (which people call a “love offering”) of Sen. Noynoy Aquino hilarious? In case you have not seen it, it’s basically celebrities and regular people lighting tiki torches, while carefully trying not to look like Survivor castaways. Obviously, the metaphor of hope and people empowerment is not lost, but why are they doing it with torches? Why the torches? It makes for an unfortunate combination especially for Noynoy, who always looks dazed and absent (with just a little drool, at least that is how he looks in my head).

Christian’s note: You’ve probably heard this already, but since it’s the season of scares, I just wanted to remind you of the horror that came a week earlier: Babalik si Erap. This was the eerie chant of his supporters after the former President announced his candidacy. *Shudders*
Everyone knows that Halloween wouldn’t be Halloween without the stories of ghouls, apparitions and poltergeists that haunted our formative years. In my case, I had Noli De Castro and the Halloween special of the now canceled, Magandang Gabing Bayan, to thank for my share of seasonal spook. But since then, there hasn’t been any show that could equal the horror of the kapres and white ladies featured on the show. So I’m starting a new tradition this coming October 31st. I’ll be reading Edgar Allan Poe’s classic, “Tell-tale Heart.”
Then again, if you squat on Youtube, you might have noticed that there are several episodes of the awesomeness that is “Are You Afraid of the Dark” uploaded.
