Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan: Overrated?

My answer to this, is yes. If you’re anything like me then you’ve no doubtedly seen presumably, well, all three of them getting completely trashed and flashing their bits for the cameras lately.

There are all these speculations about drug problems, alcohol addiction, attention-seeking… Uh, like we didn’t already know that’s what they were like, thank you.

Oh, and as for Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton? I really don’t care that the purchased McDonald’s for lunch the other day. So do twenty million other people, but do they get special reports on it? No. Because no one cares.

Stepping in gum is not cool.

It is not cool at all.

I mean, you’re walking along just minding your own business and then BAM! All of a sudden your foot is semi-attached to the ground and you stand there for a second stunned, and then start to do some almost dance-like moves in an effort to get your shoe un-stuck (or if you’re lucky enough, your bare foot).

I mean, you can always try scraping your shoe on the edge of bricks or concrete, or even find a stick and try to pick it off, but you can only do so much. From then on, whenever you walk on grass (or dirt or sand) it will stick to it. Not cool.

PUT YOUR GOD-DAMN GUM IN THE BIN, THANKS.

Recipe: Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes

Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes!

because, well, everyone likes cupcakes.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup cocoa
6 tablespoons apple sauce
2 teaspoons vinegar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 190°.

In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients then thoroughly mix in all of the remaining ingredients.

Fill 16 greased or papered cupcake wells 3/4 of the way through and bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of cupcake comes out clean.

Note: This is just for the cupcakes themselves. Because I’m a lazy fuck, I used a packet-mix of chocolate icing made from cocoa. It tasted delicious, but I guess if you’re all about doing things the ‘proper’ way then you could make some up from scratch.

Top 5 reasons that coffee is great.

You know what’s really good? Coffee. It’s great, even. Many people love coffee, because it obviously serves the greater good. Just how may that be?

The Top 5 Reasons That Coffee Is Great
(or at least, according to Cassy)

1. It gives you that much needed boost first thing in the morning. And by ‘boost’, I mean it completely transforms you from a grumpy, highly irratable and irrational being into a happy, chirpy member of society, if this is at all feasible for you as an individual.
2. The smell radiates through just about everything. If you’re a coffee-lover, then even the sweet smell of caffeine will excite you. However, this also invites fits of rage from those that cannot stand that so-called ’stench’. Why is this great? Because it’s hilarious, of course.
3. You get that delightful ‘coffee breath’. This can be worked in with #2. Or you could just eat a mint or something and spoil the fun.
4. Apparently it can suppress your appetite. Now I, for one, find this to be quite convenient. You see, I’m the type of person that will eat anything and everything just because someone makes me think I’m hungry, regardless of the fact that I might be so full I feel as though my stomach is about to spontaneously combust. On occasion this will work, though not always. So really, I don’t even know why this point is here.
5. It tastes good? Oh, and there are about a million varieties to try. Well, yeah. That one is pretty self-explanitory I think. Oh, and it goes great with these:

So there you have it: A completely useless list as to why I think coffee is great.

Drooling over just the thought of food?

Well, if you’re like some people, just the thought of delectable treats may have you salivating in no time. Wait — is ’salivating’ a word? Hey, I have been known to make up words. Example: analysation. Yes, you read correctly. ‘Analysis’ *ahem* slipped my mind at the time… ‘the time’ being whilst I was in English class. Let’s not go there.

You may be an Iron Chef in the making, or simply enjoy looking at pictures of naughty culinary delights. If you fit into either of these categories, then sneak your way into the curtained-off area and delve into the Food Porn section of Splashfood.com. And in case you’re sitting there cringing at the thought of what ‘food porn’ may be, Wikipedia defines it as “…a term for a spectacular visual presentation of cooking or eating in adverts, infomercials, cooking shows or other visual media. The most notable example may be Iron Chef, which has very little educational value, but scores remarkably high on the visual spectacle of cooking, cooking implements and the ingredients of food preparation.”

I’d just like to point out (for the sheer sake of it) that I did not know Wikipedia would also be referring to Iron Chef. I guess it’s true that great minds think alike.
