She's So Dumb She Should Donate Her Brain To A Monkey Science Fair

Hey, who wants to hear what an Oprah-empowered Jenny McCarthy has to say about autism?

Ooooh, ME! MEEEEEEE!!!

from wwtdd.com:
Jenny McCarthy is back in Time magazine this week to warn more parents about vaccines and blaming medicine for giving her son autism, even though there’s no scientific evidence of any kind to support those statements, and mountains of data proving she is 100 percent wrong. Let’s keep an eye out and see if she can kill her 500th kid. Time writes…

During her appearance on Oprah in 2007, she launched a typical fusillade: “What number does it have to be … for people just to start listening to what the mothers of children who have autism have been saying for years … I told my pediatrician something happened … after [he was vaccinated] ?… Boom — the soul was gone from his eyes.” Later, when Oprah read a comment from the CDC stating that the vast majority of the science to date did not support her assertion, McCarthy replied, “My science is Evan. He’s at home. That’s my science.”

Actually, that’s the exact opposite of science. It’s just something that happened. It would be like if a goat was choking on a gold coin, and then Jenny wrote a book claiming gold coins come from goats. If a dog barks and later it rains, the dog didn’t make it rain by yelling at the cloud. It was coincidence combined with the fact that you don’t really understand what you’re looking at. These doctors must shake their head and think, “I can’t believe I’m arguing with a chick who is only here because she sold pictures of her vagina to a magazine.”

SLWMAC's Attitude of Gratitude

You know, i was so busy with being angry/traumatized by the bullshit with lu last week that i totally forgot to celebrate the 1st anniversary of Still Life With Monkey And Cigarette and to thank some people that have contributed to its success- what i consider to be success, at least.

I started writing it because my friend Jason started a blogger blog, and at the time i lived in a different city than he did, and i thought it would be a good way for us to interact more, and just keep up. Jason let his blog just sit, empty save for one entry until MAY, while i began writing in mine immediately (which he DID read and comment on even though he wasn't writing in his... just to be fair). since then, i've moved to his area, jason moved away, jason moved back, and jason's moving away again on thursday, but the blogs and the highly valued friendship remain.

I have also greatly enjoyed keeping up with my old english teacher from the alternative school trailer that i got my GED prep from some THIRTEEN years ago. She, too, moved away- to portland, with her husband where she's had two beautiful... um, precocious children- but i always used to write her drunken, drugged out emails for years and years and she's so much fun to talk to and she's so clever and just a good, nice, unwaveringly supportive influence in my life. Her blog is pleasant and fun to read, too, but it's a pale shadow of the level of sass she TRULY has (her conservative family reads it, and she has to dumb it down a bit for them)... i guess i shouldn't expound on that any further, but ANYWAY, i love her and she's awesome and that's that.

Lastly, i guess i need to thank David Mason of House of Vader, because HALF of my readers have cross-pollinated from his site, where he has me linked on his blogroll... a privelage i am not sure i understand, but am very grateful for all the same. In the same vein, thanks to Donny from Hip Like Me, for similar blogroll linkage. Your patronage is also unexpected but appreciated :-)

To all of my ghosty readers that i don't know in real life, and follow my blog but never comment, thank you too! Feel free to jump in and say hi or commiserate with me or bitch me out if you disagree with something, or to express enthusiasm for media stuff i put up that you like, or, you know... if you want to interact at all or what have you. you're more than welcome, i appreciate your presence and would welcome participation... no pressure, though.

to my friends in REAL LIFE who VERY RARELY or NEVER comment, thanks for loitering, you worthless bastards! i expected a LITTLE MORE out of you.

(just kidding!)

this probably seems a bit self-indulgent for what is essentially just an ALREADY self-indulgent personal blog that (to date) 11 people openly follow (including myself!), but all the same, writing SLWMAC has been fun, therapeutic and surprisingly non-chore-like for the most part. I get to keep up with some of the people in my life that i love, and i have met new people that i like very much and find to be creatively brilliant, wildly entertaining and clever as well as excellent human beings... it's pretty cool, and so THANKS, you guys. I consider my life enriched!

i thought i'd close with one of my heroes, Craig Ferguson and Company, closing the 1000th episode of his hosting run on The Late Late Show. You should download that while it's still up on the torrent sites. Craig Ferguson 1000th episode. it's a GOOD ONE.

Craig Goes Old School With Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry, Old-school british queen, does the late late show with craig ferguson with no audience or anything, like tom snyder used to do. pretty bad ass. it's weird without the live "laugh track" but you watch it, and it actually gets deep. not a lot of clips available of this episode, but you can certainly download it on pirate bay, btjunkie or demonoid if you know what i'm talking about. pretty great interview, and as much as i enjoy stephen fry NOW, i think i'll have an even greater appreciation for him in the future.


FYI, you can next see stephen (if you're an american living in the U.S., that is) doing the voice work as the cheshire cat in Tim Burton's upcoming "Alice in Wonderland" and he's also a frequent guest star on the long-running FOX dark comedy "Bones," on which he plays psychiatrist-turned-gourmet-chef Gordon Gordon. I watch that show (and LOVE IT, especially since i started A&P) and the episodes he's on tend to be season long standouts. He really is a great actor.

I've been meaning to see his portrayal of Oscar Wilde in, duh, "Wilde" for years, but am just making a point of doing it tonight. He's an absolute DEAD RINGER for the quintessentially clever "dorian gray" author (second only to dororthy parker for clever cuntyness, in my opinion, though it's a tight race) and in it he does it with a super-young jude law. I'm sure he's very good, as always.

"Do You Have Whores In YOUR Garden?"

The Neverending Story Part II

And another one when i got home.

"Just wait... now it’s the last time I waste my precious time with you. However, I am having so much fun with you, Seth. Really… Thank you SO MUCH for such great entertainment. Being a bad writer as you are, not so bad that you are able to make me laugh and laugh and laugh. Really, Seth, thank you! At last I can have some fun with you! And I am sure I will have even more fun! Alright, good bye, you won’t get any more e-mails from me. Maybe some good news… who knows?

Ps. It’s hilarious that you had to check the website of your school… hahahaha I love that! You are genius, you really are! Hahahaha"

i UNDERSTAND that some people are fucked up, but at the same time i kind of CAN'T understand how somebody can just BE THIS WAY to another person, let alone somebody they were with for years and years. I mean, what kind of vacuum is inside of him? He's like a Disney villain or something. I don't know that i could just openly be this mean to somebody, and have a whole bunch of people see it, especially people i know- i mean, lu knows my aunt and my friends and stuff, and he just doesn't care who sees him behaving this way.

The Neverending Story

New emails today from Lu.

"I don’t know what you wrote to me as all of your e-mails are deleted BEFORE reading. Anyway, don’t waste your time writing to me, JUST DO WHAT I DEMAND!"

and

"I'm getting your classmates e-mails. How about taking down ALL THEPICTURES OF ME AND MY FAMILY of your tv gossip-for-maids site? I giveyou 2 days."

Now he's just making shit up.

from the school website:

"Student email addresses are available to authorized users after logging into [the school i go to]."

Does Anybody Else

think that Glenn Close kind of looks like a Moray Eel?

I love that show Damages that Glenn Close is on, but i always get distracted thinking about how eel-like her face is. Germone says that i'm tripping and that she's beautiful. i don't think she's UGLY... she's pretty in a handsome woman kind of way.

War of the Roses

Um, so i guess that i have more readers than i realized?

Just don’t use my and my family pictures NEVER EVER. I allow you to keep what you wrote, though. It’s hilarious.


------------------------------------------------------------


yeah, it's so fucking funny what a pathetic, delusional old piece of shit you are. isn't it hilarious how when it's all spelled out in a chronological way you're a fucking PSYCHOPATHIC failure who can't let go of a relationship that ended over two years ago. it's just delightful that you're clearly either OUT OF YOUR MIND or UNDIAGNOSED for serious mental instability.

WHEEEEEEE!!!!!

i mean, you're pretty, lu, but there's no such thing as being so pretty as to warrant carte blanche for being this kind of FUCKED UP.

and let's face it, darling- even the mona lisa's falling apart.

Your soul is dogshit, honey.

Dogshit.

Heed The Word, or SUFFER!!!

i don't usually get into the nitty-gritty of my personal life on here, but this is FUCKED UP and i just need to vent backslash throw my piece of shit ex-boyfriend under the bus of public opinion. I will be going on in great detail, and at great length. On the one hand, that's tiresome and probably kind of tacky and almost certainly a teensy bit petty. On the other hand, this is a blog, not a church.

In early mid-January, David Mason from House of Vader wrote THIS classic ditty about the special type of BATSHIT CRAZY shared by Brazilians, Israelis and "most of all MINNESOTANS." It's a prime example for why his blog is great, and, having spent many years of my youth (seven years, off and on mostly on) in thrall to a certain Brazillian STALE TWINKIE, it had a whiff of truth about it. i even commented on the post, something along the lines of "i wouldn't call (my ex) INSANE, but he's a little bit structurally unsound" or something like that.

A couple of weeks after that, i was telling Germone about my regrets about this relationship, and my feelings of guilt that i didn't handle the whole thing differently, and how bad i felt about having hurt this guy. His name is Lu, by the way. Approximately the same time, i got a job that i mentioned on here before... my boss is from MINNESOTA! so far so good with that one, but STAY TUNED!

i guess i shouldn't have kept using his DEMON NAME with such frequency, because before the week was out, he appeared via email like i had SUMMONED HIM or something. He was demanding that i take down a couple of pictures i had on my okcupid profile on the basis that they had members of his family in them... because they were wedding pictures from when i was down there. If he'd come at me nice, and ASKED instead of trying to just fucking BULLY me for no good reason, i would have done it, but he had to be a PRICK, and was like "take the pictures of MY FAMILY off your profile."

OK, there's a couple reasons that this is ridiculous.

1.) He made a big deal about it when i broke up with him over TWO YEARS AGO, and then decided to "let me" use these pictures and gave me written permission to do so.
2.) There is NOTHING objectionable about me using these pictures. In the context of a profile of a gay man on Okcupid, his middle-aged FEMALE relatives are clearly NOT the subject. The captions were like "me at a brazillian wedding" and "stop taking my picture."
3.)It's been over TWO YEARS since i've spoken to/interacted with him.
4.)He's 43 years old, and this is the shit he's pulling.

anyway, i wrote him back and was like

"yeah, it's been over two years since we've spoken to each other. maybe it's time to stop looking at my profile. if you want to talk to me, why don't you try being civil, instead of trying to instigate some sort of conflict.

i'm not taking down the pictures, and if you just can't deal with that, i guess you can get a lawyer."

the lawyer thing was a JOKE, but he writes back in one email

"Look Seth, I don’t really care about that. Not necessary for you to get so upset for such a little thing. If you think it’s so important to keep the pictures of MY FAMILY on the profile you get your men, I give a fuck. I really wish your happiness, so if keeping pictures of a family that has nothing to do with you, well, please, do it. However, that means I am free to use your pictures as well on where I want. About the letter I supposedly gave you the permission, I just don’t have time to read it. I am glad you could. Don’t you know? I am doing finally my doctoral in music at São Paulo University, having such a great life at Alto de Pinheiros neighborhood with my boyfriend, which is the best guy in the whole world. Take care. Beijos."

this is where he begins to THREATEN ME, making allusions to naked pictures from NINE YEARS AGO. I particularly enjoy the part where he tells me about his education (DIDN'T ASK) boyfriend (DIDN'T ASK) and NEIGHBORHOOD? REALLY?! he thinks i give a fuck about how chic his neighborhood in BRAZIL is? (OH MY GOD, HOW I DIDN'T ASK).

i wrote him back:

"yeah, you're clearly doing GREAT, and you seem SUPER happy and well adjusted. congratulations on your perfect life."

which i probably shouldn't have done, as that was followed quickly by

"I may have given you the permission to use the pictures of me on the profile you look for YOUR men, but MY FAMILY did not allow you to use THEIR pictures on YOUR “sexy” profile. I’ve asked them and my aunts and sister didn’t approve it. So that’s why I ask for you to take out those pictures. You mention that I better hire a lawyer. I actually have found one and I think I am going to use his services. Thank you for you understanding, Seth. You are wonderful."

Attached was a picture of me with my dick out from NINE YEARS AGO. i mean, i hardly look like the same person, you know?

i actually don't know what he's talking about as far as okcupd. have you guys SEEN okcupid? actually, go look at my profile- http://www.okcupid.com/profile/youreviltwin81

NOT EXACTLY overtly sexual... or sexual AT ALL, really.

plus, there are NEW flaws in his logic/sense of reality.
1.) He actually went and talked to his family about whether or not they were comfortable with his boyfriend from two years ago who lives in the United States using photos of himself that they were also in on an ALL ENGLISH LANGUAGE WEBSITE, and they said that they CARED.
2.) He went and talked to his family about this and they didn't have him INSTITUTIONALIZED for being INSANE.
3.) He's 43 years old.
4.) can you IMAGINE the laughter that would come from ANY LAWYER you brought a complaint like this to?

anyway, yeah. after that one liner about him having the perfect life and being well-adjusted, i stopped responding. that DIDN'T stop him.

"So sad that you don’t have a family, Seth! I feel sorry for that. Is that why you need to use ex-boyfriend’s family pictures on your “whore” profile? I just think it’s funny. My aunts and sister are not enjoying that much, though. Because they may get a little annoyed for having their pictures where THEY didn’t allow to post I think it’s fair to create an account anywhere and post some nice pictures of you. You like to deal with aunts, how about sending some pictures of you to YOUR aunt? I am sure she’ll love them as my aunts love having their pictures on your whore profile. Again, you are fantastic, Seth! Thank you for the extra entertainment on my free time."

There's another picture attached, and the subject line he chose is BAD ASS, meaning that my ass is unattractive, i guess.

After i got this one, i called my aunt Cyd, and told her that lu might send her naked and/or sex pictures of me, and she was like "JUST TAKE THE PICTURES DOWN! you'll look like the bigger person, and he won't have any more bullshit excuse to bother you!" and i was like, "but i'm NOT the bigger person! FUCK HIM! i will DIE before i do anything that PIECE OF SHIT wants me to do!" My aunt, ever fucking AWESOME, was like "LET HIM send me an email like that! I'll have a few things to say to him!"

she's so cute, she's like this 60 year old pretty proper Nebraska raised real-estate agent who loves cats and antiques and fucking "DANCING WITH THE STARS" and she's all like "I'll tell him what's what!"

sometimes i think about how much i love my aunt and it really kind of feels like my heart might just explode.

He sent me one more picture after that, where i'm blowing him.

"Cyd will LOVE this one…"

anyway, i guess i took the pictures down when i was drunk or something, because they're not up on my profile anymore? i HONESTLY don't remember taking them down, and i find it strange because i'm the kind of drinker who gets MORE aggressive and confrontational when i drink, and i can't really imagine that i was drinking and i decided to just DO WHAT HE WANTED?!?! after all THAT?!

anyway, in conclusion, DAVID MASON WAS RIGHT- brazillians are fucking PSYCHO, LU is a PIECE OF SHIT, and NEVER LET PEOPLE TAKE NAKED PICTURES OF YOU.

Also, i think it is worth pointing out HOW FAT i was when i was with lu. I was pretty thin when we got together the first time when i was twenty and he was thirty four, but i got FAT when i was with him, and fast. i broke up with him in early 2008 and lost fifty pounds in less than a year. it just fucking FELL off. that's how poisonous and toxic some people are...

A-Ha-Ha, You Are So Weak!

Pray For Me

First Anatomy and Physiology exams are tomorrow (wednesday). There is a lecture exam and a lab exam, and the two together are about 20% of the semester grade. I've got the anatomy stuff pretty down pat, but i'll admit i haven't got the grasp of the physiology material that i should... the good news is that i am pretty confident that i can get a mid to high range A on the Lab exam, and that's the part that's non-negotiable. if i eat shit on the LECTURE exam, my cumulative final grade can replace it (assuming that it is my lowest lecture grade for the semester). Lab grades are forever, but you can fuck up ONE lecture exam. Still, i am SCARED! this class is so hardcore, seriously- plus it's maybe the single most important grade (if you consider a and p I and II one subject, which i do) that nursing programs are going to look at.

ANYWAY! back to work.

Craig Has Drank Of The Twitter Kool-Aid

The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson is an official Still Life With Monkey And Cigarette "Shows That I Like" Selection. One of the reasons that i like this show are the graphics. they are often very funny. Also, he often opens his show with puppets and a man-gimp. That's a winner by itself right there. Finally, he has the great BETTY WHITE on FREQUENTLY. One time, betty brought a leather man-slave with her... ON A LEASH! and yes, i have looked for the clip, to no avail. Anyway, he joined Twitter, which i find personally repugnant. I mean, to me Twitter is kind of like, 'HEY! let's squeeze ANY AND ALL meaning out of our personal interactions, and then MAKE THEM VIEWABLE for third parties!' It's like the stupidity of the nature of myspace, but in concentrate form.

BUT, I FORGIVE CRAIG because he at least made a good graphic about it.

If you're only going to watch one of these videos, i suggest the one at the bottom of this entry. it's a greatest hits compilation of the "what did we learn on the show tonight, craig?" kitten. If you have time for TWO, i recommend the last TWO on this entry. check 1:26 and 2:26 on the 'email' one!

Ashton Kutcher Is A Tumbling, Tumbling Dickweed

On paper, Ashton Kutcher hosting SNL is GROSS. Not as gross as Jennifer Lopez being slated to host it on 02/27, but CLOSE. I was upset at the decision, and rightfully so. How will AK ever go away if people keep on hiring him.


AND YET, thanks to SNL's type-casting of Kutcher in scenarios that either mirror (likely) future (real) life (Visualize Demi's will being read in the next seven or eight years, if you will) or capitalize on his few areas of potential and/or value (Wealthy old queen's slave-gimp), the episode he hosted last week generally came out a winner.

Faggot By Day, Butch-Ass Motherfucker By Night

So i've been in financial aid HELL, like seventh circle fucked the fuck up financial aid hell, and they were trying to tell me that i needed to pay them over 900 dollars rather than collect a check for 900+ dollars... student services being in league with the devil and all, i decided that i would fight that shit because it's WRONG, but in the meantime, it would almost certainly NOT go in my favor, so i had better start finding a job immediately. over the summer i spent two months job hunting and never found shit, including gas stations.

this time, i asked one question, and i was hired. 11 dollars an hour to start!

(that's actually not bad for arizona blue collar work, new yorkers. we are right to work, so that's actually pretty good.)

dude sits behind me in A and P, and i guess he decided i have my shit together. he has his own company(s). a landscaping one and the one i'm going to be working at, where they go into restaurants at night and paint and sand up the varnish off the floors and all sorts of stuff like that. he said he'll train me, pick me up, take me home, and pay me under the table so it won't fuck with my financial aid... maybe i shouldn't blog that part. don't tell on me, fuckers!

anyway, i needed work clothes so my friend jason and his mom took me to wal-mart to get some steel toes and some dickie shirts, and i have to say, i kind of look like a big straight beast of a dude in these clothes. i look butch as fuck!

the picture is kind of jacked because it's hard for me to get my body into the frame from a mere arm's length, so it looks like you should be wearing 3D glasses or some shit.

oh, and by the way, my financial aid stuff got MOSTLY worked out (which is pretty much unheard of) and i even got a check in the mail today, so basically i'm NOT paying anybody 900 dollars, and i got 450 in the mail, so i'm up 1450 and PLUS i got a job, where the boss won't make me work when we've got an exam coming up!

will talk about the Diaz dinner soon... i want to write a REALLY long post about that. stay tuned!

We Go Together Like A Crackhead And Crack

So there's a new season of Important Things With Demetri Martin, which is an official STILL LIFE WITH MONKEY AND CIGARETTE "shows that i like" selection. Even "Taking Woodstock" (directed by the great Ang Lee) was good, even though it A.) didn't feature the trademark ang lee thanksgiving scene and B.) was about 1960's counterculture, which is almost ALWAYS toxic-bad subject matter.

I kind of have a little bit of a crush on Demetri Martin- he reminds me of this jewish dude i was in a halfway house with in 2004 named Ari who was really sweet and funny. he sort of looks like him, and they have the same voice, so maybe Demitri Martin isn't even funny, maybe he just reminds me of this pill head that i wanted to fuck who probably isn't even alive anymore.

Demetri Martin is (one of MANY) [a] good example(S) of "the guy i will never get" because he's TOO soft spoken and TOO gentle natured- while i find him attractive, he would almost certainly think i was too much of a dick, probably immediately, but almost certainly over time. I mean, Demetri Martin is straight, famous and i don't know him so it's a non-issue, but as a 'type' this (gay counterpart) kind of guy NEVER goes for me.

ps, i don't particularly like sarah silverman, but the promo she does with DM is pretty great, and her whole "thing" is the perfect foil for DM's super mild mannered/benevolent vibe.

Um... Courtney's Actually Seeming Coherent

and dare i say it- SOMEWHAT CHARMING again for the first time in um, maybe 8 years or so (not counting the pamela anderson roast which she STOLE, in my opinion)?

Somewhere it's raining toads and cats are living with dogs in perfect harmony.

and a day later, i thought to put up the courtney parts of the pam anderson roast. skip to 8:20 on part 5, and it continues on part 6.

This Was My Desktop Background For About A Year

Betty White is the fiercest of the Golden Girls- all of whom were/are pretty rad in their own rights.

Recently, it came out that when betty sent stroke victim Rue "Blanche the WHORE" Maclanahan a get well card and bouquet, the card read "Dear Rue, I hope you hurry up and die so I can be the last Golden Girl left. NOT KIDDING!"

Rue allegedly thought it was pretty hilarious, but DAMN. that's a hardcore joke. Rock on, Betty White. Rock the fuck on.

Karl from Sling Blade

i love this movie. Billy Bob is amazing in it, of course. John Ritter is pretty terrific as a small town homosexual- very accurate portrayal in my experience.

BUT, the absolute BEST THING in this already excellent movie is ANY AND ALL DIALOGUE PERTAINING TO FRENCH FRIES.

check it!

Very Demotivational

This website is hilarious... i'd never seen the site before, but this format is obviously all over the interwebz and has been for forever now. i did 15 pages or something before i checked myself.

Don't worry, though- i brought highlights!









i admit it- when i'm bummed out or brutally hung over and questioning the value of my life, i often find solace in lolcats and such... i'm over-sharing again, aren't i?

seriously though, those lolcats are hilarious!

*BUSTS THE FUCK UP*

THEY CAN'T SPELL! because they're CATS!

29

it's my birthday. almost thirty!

actually, i'm really looking forward to my thirties. according to my calculations, my thirties will be when my life really comes together- i mean, my life is coming together now, but shit should get real in the next 2 or three years...

i was telling my friend jason that the other day, and he didn't really say anything. who knows what jason really thinks about anything, though, lol. he maybe grunted, and i think he gave me a sideways look, which isn't out of character for him. I don't think he agreed with me, but i think i'm right. as long as i don't fuck up TOO egregiously, of course :-)

Germone has actually been above and beyond for my birthday, much to his credit. he got me a cheetah snuggie, a copy of the awesome foreign vampire movie "let the right one in" (i know vampire shit is tired, but this happens to be an excellent film, and precedes the first twilight film), PLUS this morning when i woke up and came out of the room, the house was FILLED with balloons that said 'happy birthday' AND when i came in the door from school tonight, he was holding a lit baskin robbins cookies and cream cake that said happy birthday with the candles. PRETTY SWEET, even i must concede. he might have asbergers's, but at least he tries. AWWWW!


my aunt and grandpa are going to come down on saturday and spend the morning and afternoon, so i'm excited about that, too- AH, i just miss my aunt so much. seriously, it just feels WRONG to only see her once every two to four months, you know? it's like, "THIS ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH!" it's not as faggoty as being a momma's boy, though. my aunt's badass.

PLUS, it's only six days until i get to have dinner with junot diaz- it's supposed to be a very small group, too. i got my 1st edition of 'Wao' in the mail today, so i'll get that signed. SO EXCITED!
