Keith made the absolute right decision to not see the new Transformers movie. I only saw this movie cause my sister wanted to see it and paid for my ticket. The movie was about 2 hours too long. There was so much creepiness surround the daughter in the movie including a scene where the 20 year old boyfriend explains to Mark Wahlberg how it's legal for him to fuck Mark's 17 year old daughter. There was also an exceptionally racist "samurai" transformer and weak storyline. The movie was so long and so horrible it made me question all my life choices and I had plenty of time to do so.

A samurai you say?!

I love football but anyone who pretends all the faking and diving isn't ruining the game is deluded or a liar. "It's part of the modern game" is not a defense. I hate it so much and the refs used to be a lot harder on it. Give these fakers yellow cards and get them out of there. Suspend these assholes so people stop doing it with impunity.

Also unless you have actual Belgians making the waffles, you're only hurting Americans. Belgium doesn't even know you're doing it. That's the worst kind of protest/statement.

Come on David from London. Diving is part of the 'modern' game, but it's shit and it's the reason I don't watch football any more. Keith is right, how can I defend football with that going on. It's embarrassing. We may as well give in now and call it soccer.

I don't know much about soccer or give many shits about it really, but I did play water polo, and one of the first lessons you learn in water polo is how to "play possum" aka "how to fake that you have been illegally dunked underwater so you can get a penalty". They started teaching this at around age 12. I guess over time these shitty practices become part of "the rules" and so you have to learn how to do them or else risk being shat all over.

I am fully behind Chemda and her general anti-drugs preference, and let me tell you I just deleted a huge rant about all of that but honestly until I know if anyone needs to argue about it, I'm happy to just be supportive.

Meanwhile, I have huge arm-envy of Chemda at the moment, I'm assuming from the yoga, her arms look incredible. Video, you guys.

something we do down here to combat allergies is eat locally sourced honey. little hippie-dippie homeopathic, but folks swear by it. are there any NYC apiaries?

edit:

My favourite part of the show today:

Chemda 'Was it a good children's movie?'
Keith 'How the fuck would I know. It's for children.'

[WSEIII]

I'm somewhere in the middle between Keith and Chemda when it comes to medicine. I say go see a doctor, but ask him/her what options you have. I still believe being healthy means not having to take any medicine.

Sparrow beat me to it. Also its been crazy humid/hot in NYC recently so if you sleep with the AC or a fan on that can really fuck some people up. I've noticed a lot of people walking around sounding congested and coughing in the recent weeks... It's only anecdotal but still.

Also I just want to point out that on the show Chemda said she; didn't want to change her diet, didn't want to take a pill, didn't want to go see a doctor and didn't want to research the topic herself. What other options are there?
