Chuck Palahniuk, author of the contemporary cult classic Fight Club, released his latest novel last Tuesday, SNUFF. The story is that of small town gal, turned biggest porn star in the business, her relationships, lost child and her final act of grandeur; an attempt to set the record for the world’s largest gang-bang film – sweet Cassie Wright (porn queen) tries to service 600 men in one continuous sex act. Beautiful in its conception, but SNUFF mostly takes place in the disgusting green room, a holding pen for “pud pullers” that go to the set three at a time.

SNUFF is a wild, jaw-dropping ride that mixes beauty and disgust, tits and trivia, penises and vagina’s, but is so well crafted it as brilliant as any of his novels (eleven to date). The story flashes back on Miss. Wright’s life through her rise in the adult film industry, her fractured relationships, and her (unknown) child. The story, told through a few of the 600 men that eat corn chips, power bars, doughnuts, and soda while they wait for their minute. To some the story is gross, rude, (to me - funny) and as significant in its theme as any other novel out there today. As Chuck often does, he examines life, and society, and we see the wild character’s unique and pure motives. The story highlights the things we do (to our self and others) and the repercussions of our actions. In the words of the banger known as Mr. 137 says “It can only take a moment to waste the rest of your life.”

Improving your vocabulary and contributing food to
countries in need at the same time seems like a pretty impossible, if not far fetched task. Lo and behold, it can be done!

FreeRice is a non profit organization that donates 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger for every definition you get right on their website. The Food Program is the world’s largest food aid agency and works with over 1,000 organizations in 75 countries. I bet you’re wondering where the money comes from to donate all this rice. I was too, until I read their frequently asked questions.

The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names appear on the bottom of the vocabulary screen. And if you’re wondering how you becoming better educated and donating rice is going to make a difference, you should know that 25,000 people die each day from hunger, according to the United Nations.

So put on your thinking caps, strengthen your skills and feed some hungry people. That’s an order.

I hate traffic. You hate traffic. The whole of Los Angeles hates traffic. Yet we have no choice but to sit in it day in and day out. It gets tiring. I mean really tiring. We regard it as such a unfortunate necessary evil that we fail to see the beauty of it at times. I discovered this video by accident and it’s amazing to see what a true “city of lights” we live in. The maze of Los Angeles freeways is both the downfall and the gem of the city and its citizens have quite the love hate relationship with it. The only thing missing from the video is music. I suppose if I had a choice, I would pair Camera Obscura’s “Country Mile” or Moby’s “Porcelain.” Enjoy the beauty of L.A from above.

Not that many games this Tuesday only a couple titles for all the systems. I can’t even recommend any of the games that are coming out, they would all basically be a waste of money. The best bet you have is to keep playing Devil May Cry 4 (if you got it) or some of your old favorite, until the big titles come.

PS3:

Lately while I have been flipping channels in search of something to watch on television, I’ve come across a certain trailer for a film I really don’t have a particular interest in, except for one small detail: the laughing shark. The movie, “Strange Wilderness” is about two animal fans who go to the Andes in search of Bigfoot to help resuscitate a low rated wilderness show. The movie does not appeal to me at all, because I’m a big believer in getting my bang for my buck at the movies and this one just looks like it’s a lot of cheap laughs and not a lot of content, but that shark. That shark!
