Ladies and Gentleman, I am a feminist
It’s strange; up until the weekend before last, I’d never really thought about whether I was a feminist or not. It’s just not a title that I’d thought of in relation to me, or something I even felt inclined to find out more about. The very fact that I wasn’t curious somewhat surprises me. But then, I’d never really had any reason to doubt my ( Read more... ) -
Politics
Politics (def) - Being willing to risk putting our country in the hands of a grossly under-qualified candidate just to win an election.
Thus concludes my commentary on this election season. Thank you, drive thru. -
Songs that own your soul
How is it that some songs embed themselves in your brain and refuse to let go while others pass through like water over stones? A few weeks ago momothemonster introduced me to edIT from L.A., specifically "Battling Go-Go Yubari in Downtown L.A.". It is unlike any other hip-hop I've ever heard and begs to be cranked on the largest sound system you happen to ( Read more... ) -
Eat pudding, drink shakes and lose weight!
Last week I started a new meal-replacement diet called Medifast. The idea is that you eat five of their little packets of food each day (one every 2-3 hours), and then some protein and veggies as a sixth meal. One of the fascinating things to me is that more than half the supplied food looks designed for the dieter with the sweet tooth. There is ( Read more... ) -

Now my life is complete
Turns out that what my life had been missing was seeing a woman strip^h^h^h^h do a burlesque number to the theme from "Cowboy Bebop". So, many thanks to the DNA Lounge and the Hubba Hubba Revue for making my life complete.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled pork consumption... -
The best Saturday EVAHR
If someone had sat me down at 5:30 on Friday evening, and asked me what I wanted to order up for the following 36 hours, there is NO chance that I could have imagined something better than what I ended up with ( Read more... ) -
Free Stuff
I am giving away some stuff. If you want it, you should let me know. All unclaimed stuff is going to Goodwill on Thursday. In addition to the items listed below, I have a couple bags of random stuff you are welcome to paw through if that is your thing: one bag is computer cables with two CD drives of indeterminate speed ( Read more... ) -
On getting out of jury duty
Last night as I was coming home from Sunday of Slack, my tired, slowed mind tried to remind me that I had something to do this morning. Of course, because I was tired, I thought about it for two seconds and dismissed it, thinking "I would never have agreed to an early-morning Monday meeting". Fast forward to 8:20am when I sit bolt upright in bed ( Read more... ) -
Perfect musical moments...
I swear, I could listen to the opening minute or so of Superstylin' (Groove Armada) over and over and over. The bass drop never ceases to make me dance in my chair. And really, on a rainy Friday morning, what could be better?
