Will We be Having Sex with Robots and Marrying Them by 2050?

God willing. We can only hope. I especially like the part of marrying robots. It's gonna happen!

Goddess

When I saw Melvin at anatomy class yesterday, the first thing he said to me (after hello) was, "Oh! And congrats on your countryman," upon which I blinked, uncomprehending before he clarified with, "Manny Pacquiao." Wayne has mentioned him, and Mckenzy has "become his fan" on facebook. Even my anatomy teacher mentioned the Pacman in class yesterday, holding a boxer's stance and holding her fists up...and eventually managed to connect Pacman and boxing to the anatomy lesson of the day. It surprises me and then warms my heart to hear non-Filipinos talk about him and rave about him. Pacman has given the Philippines some positive visibility, and I love him for it.

Below is more evidence that Tilda Swinton is a goddess.

The self-confessed "art world freak," who won a best supporting actress Oscar last year for "Michael Clayton," plays a 40-year-old flamboyant, lying alcoholic in "Julia," which opens in some U.S. theaters on Friday.

"I'm so aware very often when you see alcoholism in films, people tend to emphasize something that I don't really recognize in the alcoholics I know and love, which is a kind of loser quality," Swinton told Reuters in a recent interview.

"I don't think of alcoholics as losers, particularly. Alcoholics tend to number the most energetic and fantastic people I know. So I was always thinking it would be nice to look at that kind of portrait," she said.

Swinton, 48, confessed that due to her own drinking experience -- "If I get drunk, I throw up or I go to sleep," the actress said -- she was concerned as to whether she could successfully "stagger around being drunk" in the film.

"But once I started, I realized that I've actually been doing that for years because my friends are drunk and I pretend to be drunk," said Swinton, who lives in the Scottish Highlands with artist John Byrne and their 11-year-old boy and girl twins.
