Year-End Lists, The Frisky, Gail Simmons & Sickness

• This is going to be short, and not very good, because I did not sleep last night. I was pretty sick with stomach pains and vomiting, the origins of which remain unknown. 24-hour bug? Imminent death syndrome? Once my mind starts to wander it could be just about anything. So having not received a single moment of rest, I stayed home from work today and drank soda and ate saltines and played video games. It was pretty depressing. I’m hopeful that tomorrow I will feel better and I can put this very disgusting, very tiresome night/day behind me. Oh, and before you excitedly leave a comment wondering whether or not alcohol was involved, I imbibed nary a drop.

• The Year-End lists keep on rolling in. Yesterday Swan Fungus posted the top ten negative reader comments of 2010, and today a slightly-less well-known publication called TIME magazine shared a gallery of images that helped shape 2010. Remember the earthquake in Haiti? Me neither! Obama is still president? Could have fooled me! They have volcanos in iceland? That’s gay. I guess I should either read the news more often or try to teach myself to feel a little more. [story]

• I don’t know if this qualifies as a Year End list or not, but my friend Amelia McDong-Party from The Frisky ran a quiz this week asking if readers could “Name The Celebrity Camel Toe”. Really, Amelia? Is that what you do all day when you’re not shopping on the J. Crew web store? You look at other women’s crotches? Gross. I mean hot. I mean gross. [story]

• Elsewhere on The Frisky, future Pulitzer winner Wendy Atterberry devised a list of 8 reasons why you are single. The article contains such new-school revelations as “You’re too picky.” Really? I mean, I know the reasons why you’re single list is totally overplayed, but couldn’t you think of something original? “You keep pressing people who are ‘out of your league.’” Oh, there’s one I haven’t heard before. I can’t believe people get paid to write this crap. [story]

• This week on Top Chef All-Stars that girl Jen who works for Eric Rippert was asked to pack her knives and leave, much to the dismay of everyone with whom I watched the episode. More importantly, of course, Gail Simmons wore yet another bland, hausfrau dress that did little to accentuate her fine-ass tits. She should just sit at judge’s table topless. And she shouldn’t talk either. All women could learn a lesson from me when it comes to acceptable behavior. Just shut your mouths and show me your chests. [story]
