Friday, June 13, 2003 Father's Day Gift? Hows about some boobs? [link courtesy of Sandbox] posted by Ginger | 12:12 PM Wish-Fulfillment Through the Friday Five! 1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have? I have two big ones. I've always wanted to learn SCUBA diving, which is funny because the one opportunity I had to go snorkeling, I was kind of a weenie in the water. But I still want to learn SCUBA someday. I also wish that I would have learned skiing/snowbarding/surfing/skateboarding at some earlier point in my life. I had gotten into these things earlier I'd have a broader range of vacation activities available to me. 2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest? Usually, yeah. Sometimes to a fault. But I do try to be tactful, when appropriate. 3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened? Not that I remember. I don't expect people to be perfect, so I am not easily disappointed by those I care for. 4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why? Hm. Well, when I was in Jr. High, I desperately wanted to live in the universe of The Dragonriders of Pern series, by Anne McCaffrey (I wonder if BlöödHag has a song about her?). While other girls were into horses, I wanted a dragon more than anything. It's not as groovy, maybe, but now I might choose the Star Trek universe, if only because of the no-war, everyone comfortable, nobody starving sort of thing. This reality is getting to be too fucking depressing. 5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted? I'd like to be able to sing on-key. I have a nice voice but I'm essentially tone-deaf--I'd like to be able to do Karaoke! posted by Ginger | 11:43 AM Thursday, June 12, 2003 You Heard it Here First, Kids This from a highly reputable source -- Walter Cronkite and Peter Jennings were Deadheads. At concerts, the Dead's touring staff used to set up a sofa by the soundboard for the Most Trusted Man in America all the time. [Update 6/17/03 - Tipper Gore too. Ew.] posted by Ginger | 12:31 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2003 Set Phasers on Fark Many of these photoshopped images of everyone's pal, Wil Wheaton, are priceless. posted by Ginger | 1:32 PM Monday, June 09, 2003 Yoga Bitch If you're in or near New York, go see this hilarious one-woman show about a 3-month yoga retreat in Bali. it's 'bitch' as in 'bitch session.' For anyone who does or has done yoga, it's a hoot. For anyone who hasn't, it's laugh-out-loud funny. Suzanne is a great performer, and she paints an engrossing picture of the path from idealism to human frailty. Here's the blurb: YOGA BITCH Three nights only! When Suzanne Morrison arrived in Bali, Indonesia, for a two-month yoga retreat, she thought she was on the path to inner peace and killer abs. She imagined that she would return to the States a changed person, no longer a cynical cocktail waitress but instead, an Enlightened Being who would OM into each morning and massage her boyfriend's third eye before going to bed at night. But the universe had other plans for her... In her new solo show, Morrison explores her attempts to find her Higher Self in a strange world where blenders become possessed by spirits, Prada lust is at a fever-pitch, a milkshake can throw a guru into a rage, and everyone around her tries to make her drink her own pee. A very funny and very true story brought to you by the director of the Off-Broadway hit, 21 DOG YEARS: Doing Time @ Amazon.com, YOGA BITCH offers an irreverent glimpse at what can go wrong on the road to enlightenment.
