this is proof for rainingfish that rascal is a happily adjusted inside/outside cat right now.

this is him on our front stoop. usually he likes to go hide on the corner in this clump of bushes or walk around the perimeter of the apartment building.

sometimes he comes running back inside like there's something chasing him.

on the downside though, he cries to go out a lot now. it's really effing annoying.

me complaining about needing to get my haircut:

me: i mean, i'm really simple about my hair.
him: no you're not. you fuss with it all the time.
me: i guess.
him: you own a flat iron, you are not simple about your hair.

The Lt. Gov. of Mississippi tells girls to be good, abstinent Christians. This was in response to a lawsuit from the ACLU over a state-sponsored abstinence rally where students chanted "Stop! Don't touch me there! This is my no-no square!"

no no square???

currently watching the gits documentary for free. you can too:

yes, they do cost $319. no, i probably can't afford to even think about this.

ummm...ouch??



ps- how i found this: looking up women's boots (non fetish) on amazon.com.

sometimes my cat makes me so fucking mad.

i tried to change his litter to that pine litter stuff. he freaked the fuck out and took a dump in the hallway and pissed on the rug in front of his litter box. he has NEVER done anything this bad. then he came back and made motions so i would notice that he had done these things.

once he was really mad at me for going out of town and took a dump on my bed, that wasn't as bad as this.

usually i get over being mad at him pretty quick cause let's face it, he's pretty cute and cuddly. but today, i just look at him and want to spit.

when a terrible crime (usually murder or kidnapping or horrific abuse/assault) occurs in a small community and the media interviews people and they say, i can't believe something like that could happen here!?

oh yeah? this kind of stuff happens everywhere all the time. it can and does happen anywhere to anyone. open your fucking eyes.

after swimming laps for almost an hour. sore arms. sore legs. smell like chlorine. feel accomplished.

this is just documentation for me.

also, documented jarrett's wound on my flickr account. it's pretty graphic, so i wouldn't look at it if you don't want to see something gross.

lolcats has been extremely funny this week. sometimes it's not so lol-y and i maybe smile. but lolcats should make you lol. these are the ones that made me lol this week. i think they are particularly funny/hilarious.

someone alerted me via my flickr account that they've made a bunch of zines and pamphlets available online here in PDF that have to do with sexual assault and domestic violence.

check them out if you are interested.

this morning, while attending church, dr. george tiller was gunned down and shot to death by a crazy, cowardly piece of shit anti-choice terrorist. see here.

while it's one thing to be against abortion, it's a totally different thing to GUN DOWN AND KILL someone that performs abortions. in fact, it's the most heinous illogic i can think of. love of life and babies = killing another human being???

these people are fucking crazy. they are not peaceful baby loving, god loving people. they are fucking CRAZY and will do everything within their power to force their beliefs on other people, even if it means killing others.

this is a fucking line in the sand. this is a message that they are not willing to accept free speech, only death can satisfy their bloodlust. this is an act of terrorism, pure and simple.

getting to do what i want to do = working on the zine. dun dun dun.

ok so, everyone and their dog knows how much i hate ann coulter, BUT, i have to say something about her, in her defense (sort of).

i can't tell you how many times i've been talking to someone who insists that she is a tranny.

...ok? i say. i don't know if she is or not and neither do you.

but that's not the point, the point is that i don't hate her any more or less regardless of her gender. even if she were MTF, that doesn't change the fact that she's an extremely hateful, horrible, logically challenged individual who deserves nothing better than to be ignored.

got it? kthanxbye.

so, the internet has been down at my apartment for several weeks now, or going in and out. i'd called comcast a bunch of times and had them try and work their electronic magic tricks over the phone and a guy even came out to the house. all to no avail. as soon as it was "fixed" it began malfunctioning again within 30 minutes. it was ridiculous and frustrating.

today, we had another technician over at the house and it turns out that not only is our modem outdated, but "we don't broadcast on that frequency anymore." ummm.....couldn't someone have figured that out weeks ago? here i was going crazy because i was doing everything i could and nothing was working, i was thinking that i would have to get rid of my desktop and bought a pretty expensive (for a grad student) external hard drive to back everything up and accept the inevitable death of my 4 year old pc.

now that we got a new modem, everything is humming along like there was never anything wrong.

their customer service or just basic knowledge of their own equipment is laughable and i don't know, i feel like writing to the better business bureau to let them know how inept and crappy they are. they are consistently ranked last or WAY DOWN the list in national surveys about satisfaction with customer service.

but with this whole media monopoly stuff, i don't really have a lot of other choices. basically, my choices are move across the river and use a locally based (loosely interpreted) provider who's just as sketchy i've heard from other people. or get at&t, which necessitates getting a home phone which is a needless expense.

why can't they just do what i pay them to do? WHY?

no matter how many times i see it, i never fail to laugh at this:

i'm really excited about my new icon.

but lo, there is bad news: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! not my clue!!!!

THIS is where abstinence only education has gotten us.

disgusting.
