media morning

i had found this a while back. i like it. it gives me the warm and huggies.



i found this more recently. it makes me feel conflicted.  gendered violence for the humor, anyone?



and this one is for my heather

if i know this much of the subculture i've been here too long

claire AND lee AND rusty have a first friday opening. claire's is up on w summit hill. lee and rusty's are over on gay/cumberland. wine and cheese cubes, yo!

so the schedule for friday:
1400-1600: get hair done
1600-1700: agonize over outfit for first friday and possible FAC (friday eve comm dept social club)
1700-1830: FAC with morgan (if there is one, told him i would go with him)
1830-2200: First Friday with my peeps (dragging mr. morgan along too)
2200-? : sassy ann's w/ Cutthroat Shamrock

heather and others will most likely be joining us. Mr. J and Ms. J will not be present (aww) as Mr. J is going off to do some camping and Ms. J is being really busy down in hawt-lanta.

mr. morgan gets to meet the crew members not of the sr. taco bent, including claire and nathan (aaron's sis-in-law and bro).  i asked specifically whether it would cause drama if i came or ::gasp:: if i came with the new boy. but as aaron is apparently not attending, i have no worries of causing a dramallamabomb.

damn drama... stay away from me.

total nerd

So, I played DnD last night. Total nerd. Level 1 Gnome Warlock.  The players seemed pretty cool and the DM was very welcoming.

I might do it again.

new experiances

proudness

so i did it. finally. i made my very own myspace picture. i don't like pix of me, so i go ahead and rip off other sites. my latest picture stated that my marxist feminist dialectic would bring all the boys to my yard. the newest newest one is to the left. thank online translators for the translation. hopefully i have it right!

maybe not all, but i do have one at the moment. i don't know if it was the MFD that did it or simply the fact that i could actually speak intelligently after multiple beers on random uber-esoteric,paradigmatic-shifting, rhetoric challenging, possibly-important topics.

woot.

i also, this afternoon erased all email correspondance with people i don't like. err.... a person i no longer like. i didn't realize quite what had piled up, but when i saw something with his name on it, i dug a bit and realized "damn, don't need this mucking up the inbozzle". Hitting the "trash" choice surely isn't as cathartic as burning things, but who needs catarsis when you've moved on.

and no, me stating that i've moved on is not denial that i haven't.

speaking of moving on, back to the MFD/Beer incident... YAY!

that's all. if you haven't met him, you obviously haven't seen me in the last 2 weeks, as we seem to do many things together. i'm home alone now for the first time in a while. i should be doing laundry....

hit the disc exchange today. picked up tickets for brewers jam. not missing it for anything. there's a crew of boucoup zwanzig joining me: eric, morgan, shannon, shannon, kimberly, heather, paula, jim, and more. yay.

also grabbed a PJ Harvey CD. i blame my DE dude for hooking me on her last last summer. damn him and his lucious prematurely entirely gray hair coupled with being a band teacher and a husband and father (i think he said he had kids) with awesome tastes in knowing what i want.... in music. DAMN HIM!

ask me about my recipe for curry. and remember that the farmers market has awesome summer squash this week. it goes well with curry.

and to the Ktowners who read this excuse for a blog... i'll be at GreekFest sometime after 3. I have some brownies that need my attention until then.

i have a cat sleeping on me

 

finally. she's gotten into this habit of rubbing her butt on my face.

So this world is shaping up rather interestingly. I was told that I should be happy that Palin is on the ticket.  Why?  For the simple fact that she has girly bits? That's what I'm told.


  No, she does not challenge the current hegemony who is trying to take away my right to decide what I will do with myself.  That in and of itself was why many feminists were excited about possibilities of women in power: because through living without male priviledge she would understand how to "even the score" (so to speak).  Instead, the single woman who was picked to advance this far was, ironically, chosen to court the far right.

As a left leaning individual concientious about the environment, adament in keeping my body as my own property, whose main political view is "limited government would be great, but the hegemony would disenfranchise," as a memeber of a lower socio-economic class (just miss being able to get food stamps) and who is rather aware of global politics (and wonders why the US needs to be involved), why would I vote for them?  Both McCain and Palin are not for me.

On the energy "thing" - any plans to drill. ANY. will need to undergo multiple steps before any production.  The geologists need to find a profitable area, the permits must be run through the system, the structure must be designed/customized and then built, as well as other mediatary tasks.  This will take 10 to 15 years.  This will not help with $4/gallon gas next summer.  Instead, this country must take that time and those funds and develop alternative sources.

it's simple.

or so i thought.

i'm alright

i'm alright

this makes sense to the right individual

disclaimer: to all others, i wasn't not alright, don't you worry

you know that you're not the crazy one when...

after recieving a slew of insulting emails with the final one stating "i'm not over you" and begging for a meeting: friends offer you the services of lawyer fathers, others refuse to let you sleep at home for fear of him doing something "not good"... all are a little bit of an overreaction in my belief, but it's a nice feeling to know that people give a shit about me.

phew... and I was worried that i would be viewed as having handled the break-up poorly because i moped for a few weeks and was sorta angry over someone i determined to be not worth my time.

can i just have no drama. please!

cynicism

my NEW FAVE COMIC

I went out and saw... it made me feel...

I went out on Saturday night with Mssr. E to meet L and R at the Bistro for a drink. There was a party there, but without my glasses I couldn't quite make them out. As the party was dissipating I had a nudge on my shoulder. It was Adam, Aaron's old roommate, he was there for a wedding shower.

I liked Adam, he seemed good before. We never really got to know each other because Aaron had some odd "nobody likes me" issue going on, and with all my ... insecurities... I didn't push it.

It made me wonder about Aaron. He wasn't there, of course. That's probably for the best. But it made me think what he was up to. I don't wish people to not be enjoying themselves, but I just couldn't bring myself to think of "hopefully he's having fun too." I actually wished for him, now that I had been reminded into thinking of him, to be miserable.

I feel like such a horrible person. But he made me feel worse...

why are journalists arrested for doing their job at the RNC?
