Burning question!

Sunday, November 30, 2008

In honour of I AM GOING TO HAWAII IN JANUARY TO PRESENT PAPERS AND SEDUCE CABANA BOYS and also I AM GETTING PAID THIS WEEK, I have decided to finally get an Esther Williams swimsuit.  Esther Williams swimsuits have been the object of much covetousness on my part for some time. But should I get [...]

Pretty good.

Things are pretty good.  I mean, yesterday I touched my favorite human being in all of history (ie:  David Lynch), today I am drinking Mexican mochas (most delicious coffee incarnation yet) and am productively writing a paper about Beth Ditto (fuck yeah), there is only one more week left of classes this quarter and then [...]

AND IT WAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT EVENT THAT IT DESERVES TO BE ALL IN CAPS.

Please can I spend the rest of the quarter sitting around, drinking tea, and listening to the Marvelettes?

I feel like I have nothing good to say, but since it’s been a long time since I posted because everything has been so busy, I feel like I should say things anyhow. Hey, guess what!  I finally got to see Cute With Chris Live after all these years of trying to get tickets.  And [...]

The other day, in a restaurant, I saw a news item appear on the TV screen with the  headline “DEATH OF AN AUTHOR,” and I thought to myself, “How interesting!  CNN is doing some kind of piece on Foucault, or perhaps Barthes!” Of course this was not true.  CNN was doing a piece on Micheal [...]

Just you wait until I am a rich society wife (from space).

John Fluevog!  How dare you invent a purple boot from space and price it such that it is so out of my league as to be but a dream!  Now I can only console myself by pretending it is the unicorn (ie:  amazing, magical, existence challenged) of boots! On the bright side, the other day [...]

FYI: Unicorns are the most important voter demographic because each unicorn vote is worth approx. 27 human votes because unicorns are magical

Oh my god, I think that today I met the perfect man.  He had a beard (an A+ exemplar beard amongst beards, the perfect beard that all beards should aspire to), he appears to be a politically engaged in a non-smacktivist way, and most importantly, when he saw the button I was wearing, we had [...]

Dear Californians: I am concerned.

Monday, November 3, 2008

I am very, very worried about Proposition 4.  I’m very worried because at the rally I was at tonight, they told us that it is super close – like, if we win, it will be by 1%.  They tried to spin it positively, but it’s very scary.  I’m also very worried because nobody’s been talking [...]
