Weekend Wonders
I was right. I am a much better person when I don’t have to work two jobs. I have more energy. I’m eating (somewhat) better. Cleaning house more. Even watching less tv even though I’m home more. Being more productive.
I went to take my dogs out this morning. I was just going to take them to the bathroom and then walk them longer later, but we just kept going and I ended up...

It's more than a throw pillow
The first house I lived in when I moved out was an exercise in overdecoration. Technicolor walls. Bowls of condoms every where. Barbies acting out lewd acts in empty shelf crevices. I lived in a converted garage where the air and heat existed, but definitely were subpar. But I was able to paint my bedroom neon green with black trim and I painted the cement floor a super high gloss black to match....

Flight of the Conchords - What do women like?
Bret: Women's rights?
Jemaine: No that's more of a man's thing.
Bret: No, definitely a woman's thing.
Jemaine: Nah, my father's a women's rights activist.
Bret: Your dad? Not your mum?
Jemaine: My mum? No. Dad wouldn't allow that. No way.

This is What a Super Feminist Looks Like
This is the cover that’s been causing so much uproar in feminist blogs lately. And I have to say, until I saw anybody write about it, my first inclination was to just think that it was a fucking incredibly exciting cover.
And now that I’ve read all the analysis about why this is a wrong thing? I still think it’s fucking awesome. I understand the inclination to feel uneasy about...

The one where I realize I have weird ears the more...
So I hate earbuds. I hate them. Not just the shitty ones apple includes with the ipod. I’ve tried expensive ones with all kinds of little foamy and gummy and plastic and whatever pieces to put on them to make them feel better. Those are an upgrade, but I still hate earbuds. I don’t know if I have misshaped ears or a weird alien head or what, but after, at longest, 30 minutes, they...

Love Works Art @ The Office →
In this looking into teaching thing, the part I’m most excited about is a lifetime of fun school supplies.
I’d look at getting some of these for my office now, but I don’t really need them. And I don’t really like my job much.

Hot for Teacher
So I think I’ve formulated an idea. It’s a weird one, but also an obvious one. I think I’m going to work on getting my teaching certification. It’s a weird one because I have an MBA and I’ve spent so much time with this image of me kind of as a corporate type woman, who makes good money, who makes decisions, who is in charge of people. It’s an obvious one...
