Sunday is prep day. Collect the week’s story rejections and send out new stuff, water the plants, get the groceries, cook up the week’s chicken and broccoli lunches, clean the bathroom, pack for Monday’s MA class, read the Tribune, hit Borders and coffee with Jenn, recover from a hangover if neccessary, roll over the week’s […]

Man, I keep trying to ignore these dumbfucks, but then the other feminist bloggers jump on board, and I have to bitch. Here’s the panic – I would say “latest panic” but they’ve been preaching “smart, successful women won’t get married and have kids, and they’ll regret it and spend their nights sobbing into their

I’m sorry, what was that? You mean if I find a guy sexy I can’t beat him up, molest him, and go home? Dude, he was totally asking for it! He was wandering around after dark, looking drunk, and wearing a damn fine pair of ass-hugging jeans! I couldn’t control myself! I’m sorry, you said,

Man, downer day. I was also kicking myself during pilates about my weight again, because we’ve got 2 walls of mirrors, and I’m exhausted, and have spent most of the week living out of a hotel. So fucking frustrated, why’s it take me a year to drop two sizes? Why do I have to wait

After all, it eventually kills you. Feeling a little off today. Went to my pilates class, but skipped boxing because Sifu Dino showed up, snarked off something that really irked me, and then hung around while the boxers were warming up. And I just wasn’t in the mood for him. I have this bizarre reaction

From Moorish Girl: And I’ll always be jealous of how he [my father] once spent an airplane ride shooting the shit with Salman Rushdie (during his fatwa years). When he got off, a police squad was waiting to escort Rushdie off the plane. My baba came home that night and told me, “Randood, don’t believe

Just got my latest copy of Scientific American. Why is it that whenever they do a story on “early man” the covershot is always, always, always a man holding a spear? Because showing a woman’s breasts on the cover (however artistically rendered) is scary? Or just because the idea of a female form standing in

Oh, good. Feministing takes on Dowd. My favorite paraphrase from this one has to be “Feminism isn’t a fucking dating service.” That one’s going on my quote list. Amanda’s got some good reactions as well, and links to others, who aren’t so good. She points out that we’re still seeing articles and “studies” with a
