Pixifoods

Pixifoods are foods that taste delicious to you as a child, and fucking disgusting as an adult.

This rad blogger has a series of entries here.

I'm sure Doritos are on that list somewhere. If not, I'll send the entry myself.

women's combat


If you'd like to learn more about women in combat sports, you can look at this website, in English and Russian.

It includes interviews with a lot of women in martial arts, sumo, boxing and even arm-wrestling.

4 weeks can go faster than you think

And sure enough, a human is like a steam engine: when there's too much pressure, it'll blow. As soon as it was all over, I got a fever of 101.

If you haven't seen that movie, do so immediately. And have a box of tissues with you. Yes, it's a boxing movie, but it's set in the depression, and it's very moving. The line that sent me into audible sobbing:

"Mr. Braddock, what are you fighting for here?"

"For milk."

Like looking into a crystal ball

Actually, it's a Russian woman who has over 130 cats.
