HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

M O V I E S

Here are movies I'm looking forward to seeing over this break (or soon) if you're looking for something to do with the fam or to get away from the fam.

1. MILK. 
2. DOUBT. Great script, stellar cast. Let's hope they made a good movie out of it.
3. THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS. Just saw a preview for this and it looks really interesting so I figured I'd share it.
4. And, I already recommended it, but RACHEL GETTING MARRIED was pretty stellar.

V I D E O

1. The worst day that ever happened.
2. Paula Abdul on QVC and a Porn User calls QVC.
3. Miss California is my professor. Just check out 1:50. It's for real. If anyone has the talent section from the 1989 Miss America Pageant I will be forever in your debt.

P O L I T I C S

1. Gay Boycott. Check it out, interesting movement. Let's do it.
2. Queen Rania of Jordan. Apparently has been winning awards for her youtube page devoted to increasing tolerance and understanding of the Arab world. Hottest queen ever. And some of her videos are really interesting. 
3. Boston Special Needs Dancers. This is adorable.

A R T / D E S I G N

1. Human Camera. This is ridiculous
2. Fashion and Aging. Interesting photo spread.
3. Hand art. contribution from reflynn. Hands doing cool things
4. Ants: Nature's Architects. ANTS ARE CRAZY! Wait until they excavate the ant colony. 
5. Lighting in slow-mo. Lightning strikes a tree. More crazy nature videos.

M U S I C

1. NO DOUBT is coming back! Love them. Let's just hope they stick to their ska roots and not the crappy alt-rock they produced later.
2. Pink covers ANGEL. at the American Music Awards, joined by Sarah McLaughlin. I think it's her best song, almost ubiquitous as the "sappy song" but it's still beautiful. Just jump right to 1:55. How sick is her voice? Why doesn't her music showcase it at all??? Remember when they tried to package her as a hip-hop artist? that was stupid. Also check out Pink's live tribute to Janis. Girl can sang.

something I don't like:

Worst Thanksgiving Ever. Please don't share these recipes with loved ones. Really anyone. This has to be a joke.
