“She had the face of an angel
Smiling with sin
The body of Venus with arms”
– AC/DC via Touch Too Much. It’s the “with arms” that makes this lyric fragment. During the song I see it in my head as: “the body of Venus (with arms)” which makes me laugh on public transportation.

My feelings about this week
as told by a picture.

So far this is just not a week I’m feeling too inclined for social networky bloggy stuff. I’m still 20,000 words away from finishing my novel and have a bunch of other obligations I’m trying to meet.
I can’t even go into the nightmare that is work right now.
I’m envious of people who seem to have much more time.
“Time is jealous of you, and wars against your...

On the outside looking in
I don’t want to be one of those people who is getting older and who rages (or whines) against the getting older dance. I don’t want to aggressively assert “The music from my time was so much better than now” or “movies are just not as good” and etc. I did that for a little while, huddled in my bubble of nostalgia.
But I got bored there, in that bubble,...

ideleteme replied to your post:
talking about reclaiming the word slut and then spending multiple paragraphs on guy friends’ opinions/approval of the word seems odd to me, but you know
Yeah, I thought the same thing - the explicit message of the piece was “I’m so comfortable with myself and happy!” but the combination of quoting only heterosexual men who were thrilled that women were...

Melancholy, baby
First thought: this is not a movie to be watched if you are melancholy. I speak from experience. However, on second thought, yes it is. Everyone should watch this movie. It’s still amazing to me after all this time.

Cause and Effect
That was the theme of my week last week. The formula being exhaustion = apathy. I’m looking forward to a weekend of personal productivity. San Francisco Mixtape Society event on Sunday and today is for editing and continuing to work on my novel.
I tried to do some scrolling back while dropping in on all my site reads but it’s too dense of a backlog at this point. And the...

Midnight in Paris
I watched it last night. And then again this morning. This movie really pushed some of my buttons and I loved it. Now I ache to visit Paris again. And I need a time machine. Lately I’ve been immersed in reading F. Scott Fitzgerald, so there’s that at least.

mediarite: Toxic In Pink →
If it wasn’t the Pepto color of pink that was doing it, I’m sure it was the “Snow White princess costume” aspect that did it. It’s 2012. And still the “I want to be a princess” beat goes on with the girls. Yeesh.
mediarite:
Around Halloween I scored several dress up items at Thriftown, including a Snow White princess dress, which in my classroom,...

Public transportation
Ah Friday happy hour! I was drinking Sands of Marbella cocktails with my friend Rodney. I went about ordering another round. While waiting for the cocktails, I noticed that the bar television was showing the movie Gandhi, sound down, of course, but captioned. I watched for a bit and then found myself thinking, with irritation, “He needs to be a lot less passive.”
Then I felt...

Trends That Need To Stop: Trailers For Trailers
popculturebrain:
danhacker:
The series of five second teaser trailers for the 90 second ‘Prometheus’ trailer were annoying, but now we have a teaser trailer for the ‘Avengers’ Super Bowl trailer. I love a good tease as much as the next person, but things are really getting out of hand with all this teasing of things which are meant to tease in the first place. When will the line be drawn and...
