Mobile Puppies!!!!!!!!!!

The day has finally come: it is now possible to access the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam's reincarnation (Kika's got a new litter, yay!) on your mobile device. An artist's rendition:



Just download the UStream viewing app on your iPhone, click on "Shiba Inu Puppy Cam" (easy to find; it's one of the Featured sreams), and BAM! It's live, it's mobile, and it's PUPPIES!!!!!! Technology: you have outdone yourself.

I never though I'd write a post about Heidi Montag...

..but her escapades have finally surpassed disgusting and reached grotesque proportions, and I can no longer ignore her pathetic, wimpering cries for attention. Check out these side-by-side photos from People (via The Superficial) to see what I'm getting at.


You know, I feel partly responsible for this. If I had known that she was going to find a little nickname like Chinasaurus Rex offensive, then I would have just stuck with Tits McGee and let that be that. Oh well, hindsight...

Breaking News: Panda

Behold: Panda Cam. Provided by the San Diego zoo, this black-and-white feed (no color necessary... they're pandas) provides non-stop panda-viewing action.

Currently, the panda is eating some leaf- or tree-like substance, possibly a tree branch with leaves on it. Developing.

That blueberry scone has 460 calories. Still want it?

The answer, at least according to Starbucks customers in New York City, is FUCK NO. A new study conducted at Stanford University, reported by Reuters, sheds light on the inner workings of the breakfast treat-consumer's mind:

A New York City law [enacted in 2008] requiring restaurants to post the calories of their menu items led Starbucks customers to consume 6 percent fewer calories per transaction, a Stanford University study found. For people who averaged more than 250 calories per purchase, calorie consumption fell by a more dramatic 26 percent.

These findings dovetail perfectly with my own personal experience, and might quiet some objections to the new calorie-posting regulations. Fat-shaming works, people.

Re-Inaugural Blog Post: Metropolitan Bloggery v2.0

Welcome back, my little bloglings! I've missed you so. It has been a rollercoaster ride these past few months, but I am finally back and bloggier than ever. So, without further ado, let's get post-ical (post-ical)!

Bee Season!

Guess what happens at 8PM Eastern on ABC this Thursday! No, I'm not going to tell you--I want you to guess. Anyone? Okay, fine: the Scripps National Spelling Bee! Yay! Some intriguing background on these dorky little munchkins:

- This year we welcome 293 spellers— the greatest number in the history of the event.
- The spellers range in age from 9 to 15 years old, but two-thirds are either 13 or 14 years old.
- The spellers' favorite words include Weissnichtwo and humuhumunukunukuapuaa.

The best is the looks on the kids faces when they got words they don't know, like "parfleche" (a rawhide with the hair removed by soaking it in water and lye). They are like "wtf, how am I supposed to know what a parfleche is?" So cute.

For a little background, I suggest watching this video of my personal favorite speller, Rebecca Sealfon.

Khloe Kardashian has lost of a lot of weight

It seems that Khloe has taken stepfather Bruce's advice to "lose a little weight". Below, find a photo of her (via the Superficial) looking like she has dropped a good 10-15 lbs.


Why is this news, you ask? Um, it's not, clearly. Who said that it was? It's the Tuesday after a holiday weekend, give me a break.
