Mackenzie Phillips Incestuous Relationship

Mackenzie Phillips Claims Father Raped, Drugged Her - Source MTV.com

Mackenzie Philips wrote a book about her life and in the book she shockingly revealed that her father basically raped her while she was passed out.  She woke to find him having sex with her.  After awhile it became consensual.  She was 19 years old the first time (that she knows of) so until she was 29 she stopped.

Her father was in the Mama's and the Papa's who was a hippie band from the 1960's.  I only knew who they were from Scooby Doo episodes in the 70's lol.

A heavy drug user at the time, Mackenzie was 19 when the incident allegedly occurred. "I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too," she says. "Eventually I passed out on Dad's bed. ... My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father."

As her life began to spiral out of control due to drug use, Phillips said the incestuous relationship became consensual. "Had this happened before? I didn't know," Phillips said. "All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it."

Personally I don't think it's necessary for her to even talk about it.  Why after all these years did she decide to disclose this kind of thing?  I mean it's one thing if you are saying he did it to you without your consent but then to say that you were having relations with your own father for 10 years is kind of sad.

I just don't understand why now that he's dead she's talking about it.  It's like she is blaming him now for something that she had complete control of.  Yeah the first time she wasn't in control because she was so high that she was passed out on HIS bed but you have to ask yourself why she was doing drugs with her father in the first place.  She was 19 so she could've told him no and left and maybe had a fight over it but she chose to keep the relationship going.

In my mid 20's I went to therapy because I have a lot of issues lol.  There was one time that I was blaming someone for something and she told me that it's time for me to stop blaming other people and start taking responsibility for my own actions.  Basically what I'm saying is that she needs to do the same.  Blame him for the first time but stop blaming him for the 10 years that you were doing it consensually.

Rogaine Foam

I've been thinking about it a lot lately.  I'd like my hair back.  I started noticing I was going bald when I was 16 years old because the hair on the top of my head was a lot thinner than the rest of my head.  I have thick hair so having thin hair on the top was a very large clue that something was going wrong.

When I was 19 I already had a bald spot on the top of my head and was already being called chrome dome by my brother-in-law (ex now).  That was when I first heard about Rogaine but it was too expensive so I just never tried it.  I worked at Clark Drugs in Canoga Park at the time and the pharmacist confronted me telling me all about Rogaine lol.  He never spoke to me until they came out with Rogaine.  He gave me a brochure and let me take home a video to watch then return it.

At first I was excited about it until I saw how much it cost.  I think it was $50-$60 per month back then but now it's gotten a lot cheaper.  Naturally 20 years later I decide to think about it.

I've been seeing all these Rogaine Foam commercials on tv and so I decided to go to their website and check it out.  You can buy a pack of 4 cans of the Rogaine Foam for $60 but that is a 4 month supply.  If you break it down that makes each can $15.  If you buy 1 can it's $30 so yeah it's worth buying a 4 month supply.

Walmart sells it (not online though) for $47.97.  It's not a 4 month supply but more a 3 month supply but that breaks down to $16 per can which is still a good price and well worth it.

Walgreens is actually cheaper.  Well, it's currently on sale for $44.99 but that just brings the price down to $15 per can.  Their regular price is $49.99 which is $16.66 per can.

So knowing that it's cheaper than it was 20 years ago I'm giving this some serious thought.  If I buy it I think I'm going to buy it from Walmart since I don't want to pay shipping costs from the Rogaine website.

If I do start using Rogaine again it's going to have to be for the rest of my life.  It's not an easy fix, it does grow your hair back (in 85% of men who use it) but once you stop using it the hair you regrew will fall out.  So it's only a temporary fix.

Now I'm completely bald on the top of my head so I wonder if all of that will regrow or if some of it will regrow.  And yes I do realize that it will take 2-4 months before it starts to work which might become frustrating if I'm using it for 4 months before it grows.  I'm the type of person who likes instant action hehe.

I will have to hide it under lock and key though.  Chip will run out of hairspray for his long hair then decide the rogaine foam is like mouse then he will get into the habit of using my rogaine and next thing you know he's Cousin Itt.

Human Cyborg Relations...

Kurzweil: 'a world where humans become cyborgs' only 20 years away - Source Dvice.com

Ok you have to read this article before you go any further.  So go read, don't worry you won't lose me because the link opens in a new window.  Read then come back.

Are you back yet?  Ok.  Are you going wow yet?  I am.

I think that it would be neat to have these turn back the clock and bring me back to my youth when I was skinny.  And if this would give me super human powers like running really fast like Clark Kent and bending steel with my bare hands and maybe flying.  I wonder if it would let me fly?  That would be a plus.

I'm not that sure that I want to spend the next couple thousand years on this planet especially if everyone is getting these upgrade because there will be too many people taking up space.  We would end up having to leave Earth and colonize on other planets.  Our other planets don't have oxygen to sustain life so the only way we could leave the planet and go to another one is if we found a way to give the other planets an atmosphere like in Total Recall.

If I lived forever with these nanobots I want 2 things.  I don't want to eat anymore and I don't want to sleep anymore.  That way I can work for 24 hours straight with my new abilities so I can make lots of money.

One of the plus's is that all disease will be gone.  No more AIDS, Cancer, flu, colds etc.  No one would be sick anymore.

I would love to have this because I really want to see when Earth leaves the planet.  I would love to be on the first Earth ship that explores the stars in the USS Enterprise.  That would so rock my socks off.  I want to go boldly where no gay has gone before.

Eastwick

Eastwick was on tonight on ABC at 10pm.  I didn't even know it was coming until early this summer when I was checking on which shows were coming back for a new season.  I found it on the Futon Critic website.

At first I thought the pilot episode was a rundown of the movie but what I learned from IMDB was that all the characters aren't even the same.  Daryl Van Horne is the only returning character.

The 3 Witches:

• Rebecca Romijn plays Roxanne (Roxie) Torcoletti (the Blond) and her powers are of premonition.  She dreams and it comes true which is a good power I guess but she needs to hone that skill while she's awake.


• Lindsay Price plays Joanna Frankel (the Brunette) who has the power to manipulate men with her gaze.  She can get a raise at work, make men give her all of the money in their wallets, seduce men whether they like it or not.  It doesn't work with women though which could pose a problem.


• Jaime Ray Newman plays Kat Rougemont (the Redhead) and her powers are that of the elements.  So far she created an earthquake and struck lightning down on her husband.

Then these 2 characters

• Paul Gross plays Darryl Van Horne aka the Devil.


• Veronica Cartwright plays Bun.  I'm not sure who this character is because in the movie she played Felicia Alden.  Perhaps Bun is her gramma name?

In the movie the witches were Alex, Jane and Sukie.  This new show is obviously not a remake of the movie because there are some subtle changes like for example all the names are different.  In the movie the brunette (Cher) was the artist but in this show the blond (Rebecca Romijn) is the artist.

At the end of the pilot episode, Penny (who is Joannas friend) reveals that Darryl Van Horne died so this guy is a fake.  And yes it's true.  In the movie they killed him but then at the very end of the movie they show him as like a giant so you know he's not dead, he's the Devil.  Wheres he gonna go?  Back to hell?  If he can come to earth to manipulate the witches then obviously he can come back.  You can't kill him.

So in this new show he's just found 3 new women to turn into witches.  I have a strange feeling that at the end of this season they are all going to give birth to his babies and they will kill him and all live in the mansion lol.  Maybe not, who knows.

Bottom line is that it's another witch show which is awesome.  It doesn't replace Charmed for me but it's very similar, well, if they start killing demons then it will replace it but I highly doubt it will be like that.  Whatever they do I'm sure it will still be cool.  It's a supernatural show and that's what I like to watch.

Vampire Princess Leia

Haven't decided what you wanted to be for Halloween yet?  Take a gander at this.

ILM Halloween Party Vampire Leia Giclée on Paper

It actually looks like a paperback novel from the picture with it's worn cover so I don't think this is a costume but it's an idea for a costume.  Actually it's not even a novel, it looks more like a poster.  It says in that page that it is Hand numbered and limited to just 300 pieces and Measures 10x14 inches.  It's more of a blown up photo that they are selling for a whopping $40.

The Star Wars Shop has lots of Halloween costumes and props right in their website.  They have a bunch of characters to dress up as like Luke, Leia, X-Wing Pilot, Boba Fett, Padme Amidala, Storm Trooper, Han Solo, Chewbacca t-shirt lol and many more.  They have a Jedi costume as well as a Darth Vader mask.

The costumes and props are actually reasonably priced so even if you are on a really tight budget you could probably still afford to buy a costume for yourself.  And just like the Vampire Leia idea, you can embellish any of the costumes to make them more interesting.

IREX enters U.S. e-reader market with DR800SG

Aweomse.  Another e-reader.

"How do you get books on this thing? The IREX has an always-on 3G connection thanks to a partnership with Verizon (no subscription fees -- the network cost is supposedly part of the cost of a book). The company has also partnered with Barnes & Noble to be device's go-to e-book store, selling most new books at $9.99. You don't need a PC to use the IREX, but the syncing software is Windows only. The DR800SG will be available at Best Buy stores this October for $399."

I actually like this.  The thing I liked about the Amazon Kindle was that you could go to the Amazon website on your Kindle and browse books and that they were $9.99 instead of $30.  This thing has the same deal but with Barnes and Noble.  And since IREX who is a spinoff of the Philips company who makes tv's, vcr's, dvd's etc. you know they are already in the electronics biz so you know it's a good product.

They even stated that "IREX promises a color e-reader by 2011. Yay!"  That's what I've been waiting for too!  A touchscreen color e-reader.  And 2011 isn't too far off, I mean we're almost in 2010 in a few months.  Hey I need time to save money up for this thing lol.

Check out that screen too.  It's like a windows 3.1 desktop with it's icons hehe.  By 2011 when they have their color e-reader it could have a start button and basically just look like a laptop but much thinner.

I would like to know how many GB it has and if it takes an SD card too.  Yes those are very important for some people.  It doesn't need to be plugged into the computer but it would be nice if you had that option.  Or maybe you can email your pdf and picture files to the B&N website and then download it to your e-reader through their website via the free 3G connection just like the Kindle.

Oh and it says "the IREX renders newspapers with page layout intact, with readers able zoom in on articles for readability."  That is important that you can read your newspaper as is with all the pictures and you can see the layout of the actual newspaper.  That's cool.

They don't mention it but I'm sure magazines will be the same.  Right now on the Kindle when you read a magazine there are only articles, no pictures.  How the heck are you supposed to read a Playboy magazine on your e-reader with no pictures?  I mean, who reads those for the articles anyway?  Well, I don't read them because HELLO!  But still, straight men might want to look at boobies.
