Things To Do This Week.

Fight Loneliness.

In a recent episode of MTV's True Life, a freelance model named Chanel claimed to have discovered the secret to eternal youth — or younger looking skin, anyway. And that secret, she says, is to bathe in pig's blood.

Pretty gross, right?

On the other hand, for everyone content enough with their outward appearance not to go around slaughtering farm animals this week, there's plenty of better ways to spend one's time.
