Please, world, please stop hating women. Please.
I am a FEMINIST and the world is causing me to go OUT OF MY MIND.
I'd put an explanation of all the triggers that caused this moment of overwhelming sadness, but it's just too long. I don't have the patience. I'll just list some key words:- Superbowl ads
- Stoning
- the misuse and abuse of the word 'feminism'
- the invisibility of lesbians and ( Read more... )

Notice
If you use the phrase "reverse racism" without a hint of irony, I reserve the right to start humming. Loudly. -
Me = Tea Snob
Tea is a new "it" thing, I've noticed--and I'm sure many of you have too, because it's been on the rise for the past several years now. I can't say what sparked the American public towards this new-found love of tea, but I am grateful for it. I've been in love with tea since I turned 12, I believe. Maybe even before that. Certainly I was ( Read more... ) -
The murder of an hour
"Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not ( Read more... ) -
Sigh.
I don't think that I'm a hard person to live with, but maybe I am. But whatever the reason, I am just so exhausted by my roommate's presence.

And her continual use of my things in the kitchen because, apparently, it is too much to expect a person to own their own plates and utensils. -
A small rant about Stumble Upon
I don't know how to explain to the Stumble button that, while I like clever humor, I don't like MISOGYNIST humor. It's not my thing. And I am not just talking about destructive visual representations of women, though Stumble seems to think my combined interest in "Art History" and "Humor" means that I'd be in happy to see the well-rendered comic ( Read more... ) -
Holy EVERYTHING.
Holy EVERYTHING. It's a new year, and it's time to start a-new. But first, a little reflection on the previous year:
THINGS ACQUIRED:- One new, rather sleepy cat, Beauregard (aka: Beau). Function: Mostly decorative. Excellent for hugging.
- Several new cookbooks, for reading and drooling Function: Encouraging me to further stock my already- ( Read more... )

CHRISTMAS 911
I just drove 5 hours from my apartment to arrive at my parent's house for Christmas. Only to find out that I left my bags of Christmas gifts at my apartment.

One small step for me, one giant leap towards crazy cat lady-dom
I adopted another cat. Charles is peeved, and has made this sentiment known. I am very curious about the new cat. He doesn't have a name yet, but he's sweet and fluffy and likes laps. This goes against everything I've learned from my three years of cat ownership. -
