something that is rocket science:

a clear stick female deodorant.

unless i'm retarded but
what the hell!

i used old spice for years because i hate the white stuff.
and the gel stuff.

and by 'clear' no i don't mean white.

both degree and secret provide so-called clear products but guess what
they are STILL WHITE.

i was using degree ultra-clear for a bit, liked it, but found it didn't last as long.

now i have switched to secret.

but still,
do i have to patent this shit because no one else is smart enough to think of it??
that is sad.

the ballad of jack and rose.

i found this movie at superstore for $4!  i recall watching it a couple years back (before camilla was a jonas lover wtf?!), but i have a terrible memory.  it's bad.  anyway, this indie flick is about a hippy father and daughter who live alone and self-sustained.  daniel day louis is pops, intense as always.  hates progress.  and camilla belle plays the strange, nymph-like daughter.  the two are obviously in love.

katherine keener plays a desperate mother of two boys, and comes to live with jack and rose.  jack is the typical impulsive, careless hippy.  asks her to move in and then promptly asks her to leave when things don't go peachy keen.  this is also a coming-of-age story.

camilla decides to 'lose it' to paul dano's character, in an act of curiosity and defiance (the best way to lose one's virginity).

i enjoyed this flick.  the house and the way they live is amazing and inspirational.  the cast is good.  however, when keener and crew (dano and the other dude) leave, the movie drags a bit.  without them, you lose the sex, drugs and rock n roll.  which left me wanting it to end.

respect.

a 'neighhhhhhhhh' is certainly overdue

this is the houligan who's been messin with the fonts and colours and making my horse diary look oh-so-pretty.  but not as pretty as he.

sleeping beauty.

studies are showing (no source btw, google it) that sleeping longer/better is correlated with lower/healthy weight.  no, this doesn't mean that if you spend more time in bed you will be skinny.  which is basically what the dumb website was implying.  as well asssssss the above picture, ahem.

correlation means: A causes B, B causes A, or some other factor causes A and B.  this is one of the only things i remember from research studies when i was a psych major.

so, this means there are 3 possibilities here: sleep causes skinny, skinny causes sleep, OR something like healthy lifestyle (eating better, going jogging) causes one to sleep BETTER and actually get 8 hours as well as maintain a healthy weight.  not exactly rocket science.

i can't tell you how many times i see articles claiming something like: 'studies show that flossing regularly may acutually make you SMARTER!  so, instead of the classroom, why not head to the dentist!'

and despite courtney's underweight-ness (she's getting better!), i adore this picture.  i want to crawl in beside her.  stalker-ish?  well, that is a different study...
