Yas Queen!

I've enjoyed watching RuPaul's Drag Race since the first episode. Each season of Drag Race has added new challenges and even more drama to the show. Personally I'm not that happy with drama on competition shows but it's difficult not to have it when it comes to any type of performer. (Speaking as an A.S. and B.A. degree holder for theatre and costume design, there's always drama in theatre. lol) The language is the only thing about the show that I really dislike, but it's not a game changer for me but it might be for others.
My favorite episode of every season is always The Snatch Game, watching the Queens pull out their celebrity impersonations, there are always a few that should have listened better to Mama Ru. Then again that's every episode when she goes around to talk to them about what they are doing for that maxi challenge.
I highly recommend this show to people who enjoy reality t.v., competition shows, and of course Drag Queens.

The challenge is in getting the right colors

A game that is more fun than it should be...

We played this game by sheer accident. it was at a local convention in the play to win games, we picked it up and tried it out and spent the next 1/2 hour laughing at ourselves. I almost don't want to tell you how to play so that you'll give this game a try blind, which is maybe what made it even more fun. The quick gist if you really must know, is there are points for building your little structure in certain ways, like no red above a green, or no yellow below a black or a green and black can't touch. Sounds way too simple and easy, but yet it's not... and it's timed, so you only have a short window to make it happen as fast as possible.... I hope your not clumsey.... This would be a great kids game, and yet we were all adults playing and having a blast.

Crimethinc exists on the verges of capitalist society instead of forming a better one for all. (0 more)

Radical revolutionary

This book is a manifesto of sorts that challenges you to challenge yourself and the things around you. To deliberately seek meaning in all you do and live your life in ways that bring joy and make the world a richer place because if it.
Crimethinc take you away from the false idea of anarchy if safety pins and riots and show it as an intellectual intelligent philosophy in being a more positive human being. It changed the way I think and live and I hope I've managed to bring others more happiness because of it. And after all, like the books says, is there anything more anarchic and radical than falling in love? It goes against all conventions of reality and is irrational and yet something we live for.

My only criticism is Crimethinc's ideas often act on the fringe of an existing society instead of bringing everyone with us.
