Here's a playlist of vids both Blog9 and Mads took last night! Mads was especially lucky and got right up on stage next to M.I.A. - freakin awesome! haha! As both we and Mads upload more vids, they'll be added to this playlist, so be sure to check back!



Pics should be up sometime in the near future, probably tomorrow or Monday, but Tuesday at the very latest!

M.I.A.

Two Super(?)stars Set to Unite

They've been dating for over a year now, but already they've decided to make it official: Fall Out Boy bass guitarist Pete Wentz and starlet Ashlee Simpson are engaged.

Says Ashlee of the union: "We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best. Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes - it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us."

SPRiNKLES's Take: I'm not quite sure how I feel about this. Fall Out Boy is arguably one of my fave bands, second only to Panic at the Disco (which, by the way, took a hit on my list because of their very different second album). I mean, if Pete and Ashlee are really in love, it would be a great marriage. However, I don't want to see any Ashlee cameos on my FOB albums. That said, maybe it's not meant to last, remember, Pete was the one who said just last November: "I would never come out and say I'm gay, because I'm not gay. There's part of me that kind of wishes I was gay, and I think that comes from anybody constantly wishing they were in the minority and constantly wants to be fighting everybody off."

My Opinion, For What It's Worth

Greetings Readers,

Guess what Tuesday was. The 35th anniversary of Picasso’s death? Right, but it also happened to be my birthday. Exactly 19 years since the day I was born. Drink up and toast to life.

One of the questions I’ve heard most often, as with every birthday, is “how does it feel”. Typically, I reply “not much different.” After all, I’m not a years older than I was yesterday, just a day, a few hours. Its not as if I’ve crossed some invisible barrier into 19-hood. The year is man’s invention. Nevertheless, it got me to thinking. Here I am, another year older, and what have I accomplished. Sure, I’m in college, but what about my other aspirations. I’ve yet to go platinum. No screenplay that I’ve written has been picked up. I’m still pretty far from walking on the moon… bummer.

We have the tendency to gauge our life experience in terms of years. With each birthday, we reflect, asking “what have I accomplished in the last year?” or “how much deeper am I now than I was then?” But what is a year but a catalogue of moments. Rather than judging progress long term, why not live life in the moment. Take the risk. Pursue that ‘unrequited’ lover. Live and love each moment because each instant lost is a lifetime of missed experience.

We're Bringin' SEX(y) Back

Don't make fun of me for my corny title....

Ciao ciao ciao ciao ciao a tutti!

Like I promised, here are your sex(y) facts! Yes, I’ve been lagging the past few weeks on these facts but I hope you will forgive me after today’s dose of sex(y)!

---Males, on average, think about sex every 7 seconds. That is not surprising. But what about women???
---85% of men who die of heart attacks during intercourse, are found to have been cheating on their wives. That's way too sad!
---The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time television were: Fred and Wilma Flintstone. I love the Flintstones!
---During World War II, condoms were used to cover rifle barrels from being damaged by salt water as the soldiers swam to shore. Hahaha… well, I guess that could explain the Baby Boom! They were using their condoms on their guns as opposed to their…swords (???).
I’m the Queen of Bad Jokes….haha.


P.S.- as a member of CHOICE, I must tell you about the workshop TONIGHT (Thursday) at 7 PM in the Faculty Parlor!

“Pelvic Proficiency: Pelvic Power”
Sheri Winston returns to Vassar to teach how to strengthen pelvic muscles, focusing specifically on the pelvic floor, to enhance sexual pleasure. She will then lead participants in several pelvic exercises that integrate breath, visualization, and energy movement. This is a clothes-on, hands-off workshop.
Come for as long as and go whenever you are able to during this 3 hour-long workshop. Bring a friend! Cookies and Tea provided!

These are wonderful workshops! We’ve already had a “How to Have a Gender-Free Orgasm” (AMAZING) and a “Clothes-On Bondage 101” Workshop! You should come come come to this, our last workshop for this year (that I know of)!
See you there!

Pace ed amore,
Chipmunk
