Wear Clean Draws  (because there’s 5 million ways to kill a ceo)

I have gone an’ done it! I am going to blow money profligately on a vacation! I have actually committed cash money to this venture. No turning back now.

I am going to sit in that hot tub, drink a mint julep or some crap, and listen to the waves rush the shore and listen the […]

oh my god. a few months ago, back in april i think, I got a manicure on a whim. i’d never had one before. it was cool but, true to form, i hadn’t been out of the salon for 5 minutes and i did something to wreck the polish. *sigh*
last time i got my hair […]

Yesterday, I was scanning a file I keep of books people on discussion lists have mentioned because I’m going on vacation and, this time, I want to have plenty of books to read — which I failed to do last year. I consoled myself with a copy of Zizek’s latest, In Defense of Lost Causes, […]

I decided that I wanted to use up some leftover dressing from an event at work, along with some leftover turkey I’d roasted and a can of chicken I opened but hadn’t remembered to make lunch or dinner of last week.
I was also in the mood for bread or pizza or something. So, I went […]

so, today, i had to go to work to attend a technology summit sponsored by the company’s CIO — chief information officer. i was psyched because our extremely cheap company tends not to spend a lot of money on our development, so when they fronted the cash for this — a lousy $500 plus lunch […]

heh. i have been looking around for a new place to live, one with a kitchen that I can live with.
i have an opportunity to live in a real warehouse, an old bottling plant, just across the train tracks from the main drag in yuppieville. it has real brick walls, with crumbling brick dust an’ […]

dewds. i finally ate at this place last weekend. oh. my. dawg. it was delicious. and just my style: a tapas place, which I hadn’t twigged to reading the reviews or web site. i love tapas joints, because I love going out to dinner, getting a whole bunch of different things and then passing it […]

yeah yeah. in the age of obama, we’re supposed to leave him and his fans alone, especially when they’re giving a smackdown to the “real” racists — the republicans at places like free republic.
whatever.
i read BA’s blog and noticed a link to a dailykos diary. Toward the end, I read:
I hope all these Freepers have […]

rantwoman, whose posts i always adore at lefty mailing list, has an interesting blog post that concludes with a bit about passing:
And what would be the reasonable accommodation here: as the world’s most irrepressible nephew would hear, “use your words.” Ask nicely. Listen carefully. Communicate, don’t just assume … because some of us spend too […]

hmmm. what part of the month is it anyway? ha ha
i just read some comment to my comment on a post at amber’s blog:
http://www.beingamberrhea.com/2009/06/03/quote-of-the-day-44/comment-page-1/
hexy says something about “her experience” and then says, “you’re quite right about migrants”.
fucking irritated. and since i’m in the mood to be a pissy cunt bitch, let me just say: i […]

i had wanted to take a picnic dinner but didn’t get my ass home earlier enough, but also set about doing some organizational crap upstairs.
it would have been a perfect night for it. it was a gorgeous day: not humid, around 75-80 degrees F. One thing I don’t like about the area is the seeming […]

whee! i finally got my bike out of storage (i.e., buried behind all the crap) and went for a bike ride! Whee!
I’d forgotten how much i missed riding a bike. And, for the most part, this neighborhood is tres awesome for riding. Plus, you can go just about anywhere and find people walking about, or […]

i need to win the lottery. i’d seen this wonderful furniture last time i went to the scandinavian furniture store, but i didn’t price it. It’s made by a French company, Seltz. This table costs four-fucking-thousand-dollars!
Oh well! I love it, but not *that* much!

and, the bedroom set I wanted is no longer in production, so […]

yesterday afternoon, we were laughing at all the sticky tags that had floated to the ground, stuck here’n’there to the driveway and garage floor.
a little while later, r peeled a tag off my back which said:
“Only worn once - $10″
*falls on floor laughing*
I don’t know if I was tagged or it was an accident, but […]

well, $350 bucks in our pocket and 1/3 of the crap is gone!
and someone bought the ugly ass fake plant for a quarter!
i invited the neighbor’s kids to set up a lemonade stand, which they did after school. ha. their mom was over here, telling me that she was trying to get the kids to […]

illustrated:

good lard. i probably have a 10ft truck full of crap piled high in box upon box sitting in the dining room. honestly. it’s true: i’m paring down.
r and i’ve discussed splitting up, for one thing, and i’d like to have as little as possible to move if we do. and even if we stay […]

i would like to know something. i walk to and from work most everyday, logging 2.5 miles. even on days when i’m lazy or late and have to take the electric bus, it’s .5 mile. still, on average, it’s probably 1.5 miles. Then, I walk another .8 miles, twice a week, to go to the […]

i’m making progress on what R calls “dunging out” which is, i guess, like dunging out a barn. ha ha. reminds me that someone took it upon themselves to put up posters in all the toilet stalls in the bathroom at work. there are some women who work on our floor who are kinda gross. […]

god. i haven’t had a bout of serious i-dont-know-what-you-call-it/them feeling/s about poverty and crap since, what?, the holidays when i was babbling about the intense, mixed emotions of sadness and joy at being able to donate money with abandon.
oh, i have the feelings pretty much every day, in a way. there are three things that […]

This is a really awesome talk hooks gave. In it, she brings up the issue that inflamed folks recently when Renee Martin wrote about big girl panties. While I disagree with Martin’s characterizations of Black Amazon and others, I think hooks says some really interesting things here, some of which I tend to chafe against […]

Posting about Angela Davis sparked a debate about prisons, crime, etc. All the stupid crap you’d expect to see because, for the most part, people didn’t want to actually have a discussion about what Davis said, since she addresses their objections. Instead, they were more interested in trotting out whatever tried and true hate ons […]

thinking about a thread at a discussion list to which I subscribe, brought me to reading Wendy Brown and Janet Halley again. And as I read, I thought a lot about the disagreements that broke out over Renee Martin’s insistence that people need to get over their wounds, put their big girl panties on, […]

I read this:
http://offourpedestals.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/on-using-anti-oppression-rhetoric-to-maintain-yourself/
and then I headed of to the old queer dewd blog to find a post I’d written about Wendy Brown’s critique of identity politics, and another by Spivak. We were having a discussion about my “Pictures of Che” post at a discussion list to which I subscribe and I wanted to quote them […]

ha ha. i amused myself with my bio. enjoy!
if you’re wondering why the new dress — it’s because i’m so stressed out at work at the mo’ putting on a new blog dress was tres relaxing. and then i had to do something about that about page. coz i was too lazy to go find […]
