so make it up I'm getting married. I got engaged to my long-time boyfriend about two weeks ago, and I've decided to blog about the whole ungirly-bride process. My attempts to make sense of (read: mock) it all should yield infinite hits, as other like-minded women (not to mention cultural studies professors and other Paglia types) scour the World Wide Net Superhighway for scraps of sanity amidst the wedding machine madness. In addition to writing about my impending nuptuals, I will continue to deconstruct, harangue and satirize the rest of girl culture as well. In some ways, the wedding industry…

Awesome Video about things on the ground in Iraq! « Hardliner Blog BBC4 documentary about the "reality" of Iraq, and how little of that reality is translated into images on the evening news. Contains graphic scenes, but they must be faced without blinking or flinching, because to turn away is to deny the truth. Via OneUtah.org

ruhlman.com: Guest Blogging: A Bourdain Throwdown This guest-blog rant by Anthony Bourdain of "No Reservations" is so good, I had to quote the whole thing. Via Simply Recipes I actually WATCH Food Network now and again, more often than not drawn in by the progressive horrors on screen. I find myself riveted by its awfulness, like watching a multi-car accident in slow motion. Mesmerized at the ascent of the Ready-Made bobblehead personalities, and the not-so-subtle shunting aside of the Old School chefs, I find myself de-constructing the not-terrible shows, imagining behind the scenes struggles and frustrations, and obsessing unhealthily…

Drain cleaning company Roto-Rooter is giving away this ridiculous “pimped-out” toilet as part of a promotional sweepstakes. The winner will be announced on April 25, National Plumber’s Day.

Hires:Product » Hamburger and Fry Sauce Two PackArctic Circle: Original Fry Sauce There are few things less healthy to eat, and few things more satisfying, than fries with fry sauce. It's kind of a Utah thing – it was written up during the Olympics, it showed up on pins and posters, but still a locally acquired taste. It's not just ketchup mixed with mayonnaise; there's a bit more kick to it than that. When I was growing up in Utah, there were several local burger eateries, and Mom and I went to them all in turn. We often went to…
