SPRING BREAK SHARK ATTACK
Well, it's not really spring break anymore, and it's not actually an attack. Some fisherman caught a gigantic ass tiger shark.July 20:
OAK BLUFFS, Mass---Fishermen who hauled in a massive 1,100 pound tiger shark off Massachusetts this past weekend failed to capture first place in the monster shark derby on Martha's Vineyard.
The reason: The boat was six minutes too late in returning to Oak Bluffs harbor with its catch.
The toothy tiger shark may not have won the competition, but it did win the admiration of other fishermen. Steven James of the Boston Big Game Fishing Club said this truly was a monster shark, and one that "could eat you."

In other news: It is SHARK WEEK on the discovery channel. In the interest of keeping up with the best AP shark pictures of all time, here's another favorite:
and here's that silly spoof article pip and i wrote after that lady in australia got fucked up in November:

A 6-meter Great White Shark breached the water off Cape Town, South Africa Tuesday morning.
But Nikki Werking didn’t expect to find the notably stunned beast in the living room of her Chapel Hill apartment 4 hours later.
Travelling at approximately 4,500 knots according to experts, the shark reached a peak height of almost 54 miles — well into the troposphere — in its 7,000-mile trip.
“It’s a well-documented fact that, if left to accelerate, them shits keep going,” said Fens Spellman, a doctor of Sharktology at the Sharkological Institute in East Rutherford, N.J.
“I mean, when you see ‘Jaws,’ you think that they’re all gigantic and slow. Well, they’re certainly gigantic, but they can really tear out when they have to,” he said.
“It’s fuckin’ nuts.”
The 4-ton fish, visibly smoking after its re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere, crashed through the apartment above Werking’s before lodging itself between her couch and the coffee table.
“Man, I didn’t know people had slept over from last night,” said Anthony, who refused to give his last name, a roommate of Werking’s and third roommate Michelle Jarboe.
“He’s not a very smart guy,” Werking said, adding, “fuck it, he’s a retard.”
Jarboe could not be reached for comment, as she was sleeping at the time of the collision and failed to regain conciousness.
“I mean, you feel like you’re doing pretty well in life, but you just can’t count on a goddamn shark busting through your ceiling,” said Jane Cousins of the Chapel Hill Police Department.
“We should all be more wary in our day-to-day lives,” Spellman said. “Aerial shark-o-penetration is the fifth leading cause of Security Deposit forfeiture among American college students.”
When asked by Cousins why he wasn’t wearing any pants, Anthony responded with a shrug onlookers described as “visibly halfassed.”
“That just goes to show you,” Werking said as the shark was removed with a crane. “Same shit, different day.”

America, FUCK YEAH?
OK. CNN isn't supposed to use these kinds of poorly photoshopped graphics to make some kind of patriotic point. This is stupid.

"Everything here is eatable. I'm eatable, but that, my children, is called cannibalism and it is frowned upon in most societies."
Loved it. the old one scared the beejesus out of me because i was six, losing my first tooth and was at my grandmother's house and i vowed to never watch it again. but this one? liked it. danny elfman did a fantastic score, and even though the oompa loompas were still creepy, i didn't feel like they were going to come kill me in my sleep.
(i was six. it was slightly traumatic. the fact that i even went to see this is like some major breakthrough for me. :))
in other tim burton news, CORPSE BRIDE! i love the nightmare before christmas, so i can't wait to see this one.
here's the trailer:

anyway, last paper week! including a 33-page Welcome Back Issue. Should be fun.
fun fact: JK Rowling made $36 million on Saturday from the sale of the 6th HP book. 6.9 millions copies in 24 hours. Wow. And she used to live on the street. Megan is letting me borrow it tomorrow, so that should be a fun 672-page read that i'll get to ... eventually. at least they're written for the childrens so they're easier to run through.

Why drinking and driving don't mix.
Yikes. Not sure what happened, but someone went a little crazy on South Road today and a cement truck fell in a hole in the road. The po-lice wouldn't even let me walk down the sidewalk in front of the SRC because of this shit, and it was down in front of the undergrad.
Having this blog is lovely because now I can post fun pictures that are infinitely most interesting than anything I'd have to talk about. At least until school starts back up. Maybe I'll have fun stories then. :)
Anyway, items of INTEREST:
They're going to make TRANSFORMERS a movie. A live-action movie. For 2007. Directed by Michael Bay. Pearl Harbor = sucks, but i did like Armaggeddon. And i would see "the island" because ewan loooks hot and i like scarlett, but ... we'll see what others have to say about it first.

Making Fun of Tom Cruise is Fun
we heart Liquid Generation.
hah!
He's dangerous. But Rob Thomas doesn't think so.
----MATCHBOX 20 frontman ROB THOMAS has rubbished reports he had sex with Hollywood superstar TOM CRUISE - and is even more mortified he's been labelled a fellow Scientologist.
The SOMETHING TO BE singer is horrified by claims he was caught in bed with the WAR OF THE WORLDS star and has finally spoken out to end the rumours.
But he's even more offended by reports he's joined Cruise and other followers of L RON HUBBARD's Church Of Scientology, which has been labelled a "cult" by some critics.
He says, "If I were gay, Tom wouldn't be on the top of my list...It would be BRAD PITT.
"I'm more offended by the rumours saying I'm Scientologist."---
