October 4, 2020 | Boy, Were We Wrong About the Human Body! (2015)

I read Boy, Were We Wrong About the Human Body! (2015) by Kathleen V. Kudlinski and illustrated by Debbie Tilley. This picture book for children is about some incorrect ideas humans have had about the body. It begins with the Ancient Egyptians and, broadly, the mummification process (which, according to the timeline, began in 3500 BC). “The Egyptians thought the secret of who we are, our thoughts and personality, come from our hearts. Boy, were they wrong!” Rather we now know that although our heart is a very important organ, it is our brain that is the centre of thought and that trauma to the brain can affect personality.

The text also mentions Hippocrates [400 BC] and his explanation that the body is made up of four fluids: blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile, and Plato’s explanation [in 380 BC] that eyes shoot out rays that gather images of objects.

In the fourth screenshot, the text begins with “Long, long ago, Egyptians did not know much about the human body.” I don’t feel comfortable with this statement. Perhaps they really didn’t know “much” about the body, but, in reference to the mummification process, they knew enough to remove organs and place them into separate canopic jars, the process of putrefaction and how to halt/prevent it (i.e., removing organs and stuffing the body with natron [salt] to dry it out), and how to remove the brain through the nasal cavity instead of cracking open the skull. I think that’s quite a bit. I’d be curious to learn what their equivalent to today’s medical doctors did when someone had a stomach ache or a broken bone... Herbal remedies? Casts?

Back Story

Kadir Nelson, Class of 1992

Kadir Nelson was born on May 15th, 1974 in Washington D.C., and is an award-winning American author and artist based in Los Angeles, California. His paintings are in the permanent collections of several notable institutions including the United States House of Representatives, the Muskegon Museum of Art, The National Baseball Hall of Fame, United States Postal Museum, the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland, and most recently, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, the World Trade Center, the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Nelson began drawing at the young age of 3.  When he was 11, Kadir was apprenticed under his uncle who was an artist and an art teacher. He received a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and upon graduating with highest honors, he was summoned by DreamWorks Pictures to create conceptual artwork for Steven Spielberg’s Oscar® nominated feature, “Amistad” and the animated feature, “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron”. He is the recipient of multiple awards from the Society of Illustrators in New York, including the prestigious Hamilton King Award as well the 2020 recipient of the Caldecott Medal and Coretta Scott King Award for illustration. He adds this to multiple Caldecott Honors, Coretta Scott King Author and Illustrator Awards, New York Times Best Illustrated Book Awards, several NAACP Image Awards and an Olympic Art Bronze medal, among others. Mr. Nelson has also created artwork for a host of distinguished clients, including but not limited to National Geographic, HBO, Nike, Disney, Hennessy, and Sony Music, for whom he painted the cover artwork for Michael Jackson’s posthumously released album, “Michael,” which was listed in the Guinness Book of Records® for the largest poster in the world. Nelson’s artwork was also featured on the cover of recording artist Drake’s multi-platinum selling album, “Nothing Was the Same”; over a dozen commemorative US postage stamps honoring American legends, such as Major League All-Stars Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio, NBA great Wilt Chamberlain, and most recently Motown’s Prince of Soul Marvin Gaye, which altogether have sold several million stamps.

Nelson’s masterful artwork also frequently graces the cover of The New Yorker magazine, paying tribute to historical and contemporary American figures in New York City and abroad, including the magazine’s dandy, Eustace Tilley. Additionally, Nelson has also authored and illustrated several award- winning New York Times Best Selling picture books including, “WE ARE THE SHIP: The Story of Negro League Baseball”, which was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine, and “Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans”. Currently, he has over 30 children’s book titles in print with a global circulation in the millions, and in multiple languages. Nelson’s list of illustrated children’s books include titles by Debbie Allen, Will Smith, Spike and Tonya Lee, and Delores Jordan, mother of NBA great Michael Jordan.

Nelson’s primarily figurative paintings and sculptures focus on historical narratives and heroic subjects in American culture and are often informed by the Old Masters like Ingres, Michelangelo, Hopper, and Tanner. His sumptuous settings and characters, rich palette, and realistic, yet painterly technique speaks to both modern urban realism and masterly works of turn-of-the century American painters. *See also the ePacer Online eNews Blog at: https://epacer.tumblr.com/post/170670358442/back-story titled “Back Story” of February 9, 2018.

‘Dry Humping in Bounce Castles’ The Bachelor Ep. 3 Recap

As much as I love the usual fuckery on this show, I really do enjoy seeing romantic connections develop between The Bachelor and the contestants.

Last week was cool, but we didn’t see any of that. Last episode was all about Corinne and her platinum vagine. There was a lot of Corinne this week as well, but I felt like there was also a focus on love. 

It’s all about balance, man.

So I was very excited to see the girls’ reactions to Nick telling them he had sex with Liz, but it wasn’t even shown. The show just aired the girls coming back from the group date and telling the rest of the girls in the house about it. I was disappointed in that, honestly. Nothing really happened. They didn’t even show Christen getting the group date rose.

So the rose ceremony happened. Two blondes and Hailey the Canadian went home. Corinne slept through the rose ceremony but not before she wore nothing but a trench coat and made Nick lick whipped cream off her breasts because she’s insane. Nothing new here.

Moving on...

Backstreet Boys Group Date

This is probably the coolest group date on The Bachelor in recent memory. Most of these girls are around my age, so if they were anything like me in third grade, they were playing the Backstreet Boys “Millennium” album in their rooms (skipping past all the slow songs, obvi) and dancing in front of the mirror for hours.

I honestly don’t know how they kept their shit together when Nick Carter started singing.

I would’ve been on the floor in need of defibrillator. 

Actually, I would’ve been like Christen:

So the girls had to perform as background dancers for the BSB during a performance of “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” which is an epic song, by the way.

Little miss Corinne is a debbie downer and says she’s a terrible dancer. Instead of just going with it like a good sport, she decided to be a total brat about the situation. Huge shocker there.

The best part of the performance was that Ashley I and Becca Tilley were there and ABC didn’t show any of it. They had their season(s). Goodbye and see ya’ll never. 

The girl chosen to dance with Nick while the BSB serenaded them was Danielle L. She also ended up getting the group date rose later on at the cocktail party and Nick grabbed her ass pretty aggressively.

I wish I had a picture.

The cocktail party was also when we found out Corinne is 24 going on 9 years old. She has a nanny, Raquel, who makes her bed every day, does her dishes, makes her cucumber salads every day for lunch and makes her cheese pasta, which is rich person code for mac and cheese.

Jasmine basically summed it up best when she said Corinne is privileged AF.

Defying Gravity With Vanessa

This date gave me secondhand butterflies.

Nick shows up at an airport runway dressed like a modern day character in “Top Gun,” aviators and all.

Vanessa gets out the limo and immediately hugs Nick and says, “Are we going skydiving? I don’t want to go skydiving.”

Luckily for Vanessa, they were actually going to simulate being in space with no gravity. 

This picture is perfection, but I just want to know if it was taken before or after she puked.

Unluckily for Vanessa, making out in space makes her feel sick and she ended up puking in a paper bag. Welcome to not being a teen anymore, where carnival rides, windy car rides, being on a boat and gravity-defying simulators all make you want to vomit.

Despite vomiting, Nick still kisses her. Some people on Twitter had a problem with that.

Are you following me on Twitter, though? @thebachdiaries

I feel like this just proves how hot Vanessa really is and how much Nick likes her.

I also have this theory that if you “rescue” or care for someone in need, that makes you fall in love with them. Case closed, bring in the dancing lobsters. Vanessa is the one.

The dinner portion of the date also gave me the feels. I believe Nick started crying man tears when expressing his fears about this journey. Ben cried man tears on his season when he tried to convey how much her cared for Lauren, the woman he is now engaged to, to her sister. 

I know my calculus. It’s Man + Tears= LOVE

I ship Nick and Vanessa together so hard. Vanessa even forgot about the rose because she was so focused on their time together. 

The Nick-athon Group Date

Remember on Ben’s season of The Bachelor when we found out he was his high school’s mediocre quarterback and everyone wiped the drool off their chins? Well, Nick was an 800 meter state champion, ran a 1:55 800 and went on to hold a school record in the 4x800 in college (I have to same school record, whaddup) and he gets like one sentence about it on the show. No one cares about track. Not like I didn’t know that already, anyway.

I thought it was pretty amazing that track and field legends Carl Lewis, Allison Felix and Michelle Carter were featured on the show. If you don’t know who any of these people are, I suggest you educate yourself with help from a little search engine named Google.

Side note, Nick has great running form. *insert heart eyes emoji here*

The rules were that the women had to compete against each other in a series of track and field events to win his heart. They dubbed the competition the “Nickathon.”

The women had to:

Long jump into Nick’s limo

High jump into Nick’s arms

Throw a javelin into Nick’s heart

The three top performers were Rachel, Alexis and Astrid, the girl with double d’s who forgot to wear a sports bra with actual support.

The three women and Astrid’s breasts went head-to-head in a dash to an engagement ring. Whoever grabbed the ring first would then jump into a hot tub conveniently placed near the finish line and join Nick in some one-on-one time.

On your marks, get set, go!

The clear winner was Rachel, but she could not seem to properly grab the ring (much like our Team USA women’s 4x100m relay team) and she drops the ring on the ground. Astrid, holding onto her boobs in last place, picks up the ring and gets to spend time with Nick in a hot tub while wearing spandex. In other words, she gets an automatic yeast infection as her prize.

I’m not really sure who Dominique was, but she got a little too testy with Nick at the cocktail party and Nick sent her home. Good. Now I don’t have to figure out who she is.

Rachel got the group date rose because her arms look amazing while running.

Pool Party Time

Chris Harrison informs the women a pool party has replaced the cocktail party.

Courtesy of producers who are subbing-in as her nanny, Corinne announces she has a special surprise for Nick: a bounce castle. They jump around and Corinne ends up on top of him aka dry humping him. It was not something I wanted to watch, especially since Corinne is mentally a child.

Raven informs Nick that Corinne has a Nanny and she doesn’t know how to clean a spoon.

The face of a man who just found out he licked whipped cream off the breasts of a 24-year-old woman with a nanny.

No shocker here, the women who watched this bouncy house debacle in action were rather disgusted. Vanessa, who just had a wonderful one-on-one date with Nick, confronts Nick about his behavior and says she’s questioning his intentions. Is he looking for a hot, mature woman who has everything to offer, or a 24-year-old with the mental maturity of a 9 year old? Nick doesn’t really give much of an answer.

Vanessa: I saw you riding her

Nick: I don’t know which part you saw but...

(she obviously saw the part where you were riding Corinne)

Nick might have ruined his chances with Vanessa, but at least he’ll have Corinne and her nanny, who will make their bed every day, clean their spoons, tuck them in at night and tell them a bedtime story. 

And they lived happily ever after with their perfectly seasoned lemon pepper salads....The End.

Until next week, xoxo Gossip Girl
