by the way, wild girl of the week contestant #2 is scaring me. anyway, i watched some tv 'news' show earlier in the week. i couldn't even remember what show it was until i searched around, but it turns out i was watching 48 hours. ok, now this girl is all wanting to sue mr. girls gone wild because when she was 18 and on spring break in cancun, she entered a wet t-shirt contest. someone taped it, sold it to mr. girls gone wild and so now people all around the world can see her in action. she says he 'rapes' her on video. chill, sister.

ok, first of all, i have always despised this notion of spring break. by 'this notion of spring break' i mean the stereotypical mtv spring break crap. bikini-clad woo girls gyrating to bad music and stupid drunk guys with "show us your tits" signs. you couldn't pay me to go near that shit - even when i was 18. so there's that - i'm already showing my lack of impartial judgment here. the thing is, i don't care if other people wanna go do that for spring break. more power to them, you know? i just don't want any part of it.

secondly, she entered a wet t-shirt contest. it's not as if she was alone with one guy in a hotel room or something. she willingly showed off her assets(?) in public. she was in a competition! so i'm thinking it's her own damn fault. she didn't know everyone there - anyone could have had a camera, and someone obviously did. "We consumed a lot of alcohol. We didn't realize what we were doing," she says. well, maybe next time you will think before you get so plastered that you 'don't realize what you're doing', eh? "Everyone makes mistakes or does something bad in their lives. But not everyone has to go back and look at a video about it and have it displayed across the world and have it continually remind them about that mistake. And this is what Joe Francis (mr. girls gone wild) has done to me." well, ok, i guess i can give her that, but that's not even close to rape. perhaps one of the reasons that so many women are afraid to report rape and why a rape conviction is hard to get is because stupid women like you are constantly screaming "rape!" when there was no rape. i realize that you're embarrassed and your feelings are hurt, but please watch what you're saying.

apparently mr. girls gone wild always gets releases now. he admits that he didn't used to. he admits that he used to buy material from third parties. i guess now that he's actually created his little empire, he finally realized that he should perhaps look into legalities. i'm certainly not defending mr. girls gone wild from a place of "oh he's great! i love what he does!" i'm just saying that i don't really even care about him because i'm pretty sure that i'm never going to end up on one of his tapes. if i did, i'm sure there would be grounds for a lawsuit but it would most likely be against the person who i thought i was alone with, not mr. girls gone wild anyway. i'm just not into exhibitionism. there's plenty of women who are, though. one trip to new orleans can verify that. so i'm just thinking a lot of these girls are just whining and not wanting to take responsibility for their actions.

my mother didn't agree with me. she was saying "well, we all do stupid things sometimes. especially when we're young." i'm like yeah, but there's one other thing. i can't remember now if it was this same girl that i've already mentioned, or another girl, and the page on cbs.com is not helping here. anyway, one girl was all upset because she is a mother now and in the PTA and all, and she is terrified that someone will find out about the video and she'll be shunned. if that happened, who should she really be mad at? mr. girls gone wild or all the idiots who can't be adult enough to go "oh, who cares? so you got drunk on spring break when you were 18 & took your top off. big deal." the latter, if you ask me. argh, females can be so irritating. i rambled on about this kind of stuff before, so i won't bother doing it again. girls - just be who you are & like it already, ok?

i rented moulin rouge and ghost world tonight, but i haven't watched either one yet. i got my income tax refund yesterday and i was all happy because my stupid mouse broked itself the other day. well, to be more precise, one of the buttons quit working. i use a mac, so i really only need one button, but i've got all this crap programmed to my buttons and now that i'm without that, it's driving me batty. so i went and bought a new version of the same mouse i had, and i also got a new wrist rest and mouse pad because mine needed replacing. since i last upgraded my system software, my mouse has been kinda wonky (this was before the button broked itself). now this new one won't even work at all. argh! i did some research and it's a USB issue. this particular mouse that i have is not known for ... working well with others. tomorrow i will go return this one and buy another one. anyway, i got frustrated about that so i didn't feel like watching my movies.

speaking of movies, i watched raising arizona again the other night and i've decided that it's insane how i know nearly every single line of dialogue in that movie.

there is a bunny's day out thing at one of the animal shelters tomorrow, so i think i'm gonna take ms. zira so she can eat at the bunny salad bar, get her toenails clipped, and hang out with other bunnies. she's going to get spayed within the next couple of weeks, so she deserves a little fun first. i got her a big vegetable parchment tube when i was at the pet store today. it's big enough for her to hide and/or sleep in, but so far she seems to think the best thing to do is just roll it around.
