“Thai Cuisine” is the most common; I can’t recall ever seeing a restaurant proclaim “Bangkok – Thai Food.” (And seriously, if the place is named “Bangkok,” what are the chances they serve fajitas?) If they are trying to sound ultra hoity-toity, then they write, “Cuisine of Thailand” or even “Cuisine of Siam.” Worse, “Siamese Cuisine” makes me wonder if they serve spicy house cats. Oh, well excuse me for thinking they just served chicken satay. Jeez.

Curiously, Mexican restaurants have failed to exploit this “cuisine” silliness, at least for the places serving the basic stuff like enchiladas, chiles rellenos, and carne asada (all of the above include Spanish rice and your choice of pinto or refried beans). I’ve never seen a “Maria’s Mexican Cuisine” or a “Pancho Villa – Cuisine of Mexico.” Apparently, Mexicans just eat “food.” Sad, really. (In fairness, some of the fanciest “high-end” cooking in the world is taking place in Mexico and Mexican restaurants. But that’s another story.)

Well, my camera is ready. If I ever see a sign that says, “Bangkok – Thai Food,” you’ll see it here first.

Yes, the film’s own screenwriter says all you really need to know about this Scientology-based film starring (somehow “starring” doesn’t feel like the proper term to use here) John Travolta, who if he wasn’t a Scientologist would surely have trashed the proposal to act in the movie. Nor would J.D. Shapiro, the screenwriter, have become involved had he not been led to the cult’s LA-based Celebrity Center on the rumour that it was “a great place to meet women.”

Sure, I know it’s with good reason that they have their own vocabulary; a high level of accuracy is, after all, required of good science. But I find it annoying that we, as patients, so often adopt the same terminology used by medical professionals when discussing our various pains and emissions, as if the doctor or nurse wouldn’t understand if we said, for example, “My pussy itches and is burning like crazy.” I mean, is it any clearer when we use the word “vagina”? Obviously, it is not, but we say “vagina” to avoid sounding poorly educated and immature. We want our doctor to think we have achieved some level of medical edification and we want him or her to know we are serious about our complaints, instead of thinking that we’re dumb, infantile whiners, even if dumb and infantile and whiny we are.

I actually have a list of words that you should consider trying on your next trip to the doctor’s office. Here’s a sample:

• Penis = Cock
• Stool = Shit
• Anus = Asshole (keep it in context to avoid getting punched by your doctor)
• Sexual Intercourse = Fucking
• Vomit = Barf

…and so on.

So, I think it’s nearly always just for show when in the presence of a lab coat or scrubs we suddenly start speaking like seasoned clinicians. So annoying to think I should conform to that. But, perhaps I’ll trash that tradition the next time I have a medical problem. I’ll speak to my doctor like I’m speaking to anyone. When she asks how I’ve been and why I’m there, I’ll respond with something like, “Well, I can hardly breathe from all the snot in my nose, and my titties are due for their yearly x-ray. Oh and, do you need some pee pee?” Maybe then my doctor will take some extra time to explain, in simple terms, what’s wrong with me and what I should do to get better. Or else she’ll look at me like I’m a four-year-old and reach for the rectal thermometer. o_o

Well, it’s no secret that I adore small breasts, those on my chest, and those on other girls. Sure, there’s that “more than a mouthful is a waste” line attributed to the frequently bare-breasted French, but it’s more than just being deliciously bite-sized that makes the small breast so delightful. Smaller breasts look prettier, at least in my titty-obsessed opinion, and they are easier to live with (bras are rarely advised, physical activities are easier, you can sleep more easily on your stomach, less strain on your back, etc.). Big boobies? Meh…, …yawn. Anyway, that’s my bias.

So it’s little wonder that the whole breast augmentation phenomenon really annoys me. I mean, I don’t care if other women want to get their chests stuffed because it makes them feel better or whatever. That’s their business, their decision, their choice. Fine. What bothers me is the pervasive message we constantly receive that says big breasts are attractive, and small breasts are not. Absolute media and advertising-driven garbage. That so many women (and men) buy into this crap is simply embarassing. That millions of girls grow up believing it is truly sick. Well, I never bought into it.

Anyway, here are some pictures of women with truly beautiful small breasts “before,” and rather odd-looking boobs “after” augmentation surgery. Oh, the humanity… o_o

Before = Cute, cute, cute!!!  After = meh..

So incredibly pretty “before.”  After = OUCH! Overinflated!

What was wrong with these “before”???

I’m speechless… Okay, found words: Before = LOVELY!!  After = not.

“Im enrolled in MMHS and I very happy that i attend this school its a very calm setting and also provides a daycare which im very thankful for.”

I briefly thought about making some witty comment, but it’s just too depressing.

Then, I stumbled on Headphone Musume, and my eyes were opened to the brilliance of pretty anime-style girls wearing new and antique high-quality headphones! Musume is a Japanese term for “girl.” Some of the headphones on this site are really unusual and neat, and most I’ve never heard of before; kinda makes me wanna start collecting old headphones for fun. heh…

But, what’s so cute about a girl wearing headphones? Is it the way the phones look like large ears? Is it the way the headphone cord tends to run and drape and tangle across the girl’s body, somewhat like a snake or a string of flowers? Or, maybe it’s the deep sense of relaxation that the girls seem to possess? Well, whatever it is, the image is certainly rather sexy, in a geeky way at least. Kinda like that 2009 calendar featuring real girl gamers undressed and playing with their, erm…, Nintendos, X-Boxes, and Playstations. Ya, hot.

Anyway, here’s a sample Headphone Musume:
