"I kissed a girl" by Katy Perry.
Apparently for $9.65 per hour; they play this at work all the friggin' time.

GRAW!

My dear lovely people, you need to watch this.

I can't believe I'd missed this back in it's novelty. Thank's to D_R for passing it along. I'm passing it along too.



Brilliance.

Today, Victoria Ashley learned that they make caffiene in pill-form.
She was excited, but was than forbid to partake in such wonderous stimulants.

She also made an LJ entry after nearly a month of neglecting her journal.

Here is a picture of something that I like.

This van is in the Heart Lake plaza nearly every weekend I'm there, right outside the Sir Lanken restaurant.

Here is a picture of something that I don't like.

Blade Runner!?! Uh, fuck no, Chapters! Way to incur the wrath of Philip K's android...

Soekarnoputri to face electoral sex query

"In addition, Idris said female candidates are asked to abstain from sex for at least 10 days prior to that examination in order to avoid what he termed biased medical results. The IDI official did not offer additional details regarding what results would be considered biased."

What the fuck Indonesia, what the flipping fuck?

I've been doing a lot of reading regarding pornography, and in a broader sense, the desensitization effect it has on viewers. Specifically internet pornography, but a lot of this applies to videos, magazines, and other forms of media.

I feel so disgusted with the world. I'm pissed as fuck that I'm classified as a conservative nut for this rising hatred inside of me. I'm not anti-sex, I'm not pro-censorship and I'm not the one being regressive in not wanting a sexualized nation!

The desensitization scares me the most. How simple, almost non-worrying images of naked girls or scantily clad girls get guys off at first, and then just doesn't do it for them anymore. How shortly after a new discovery on the porn chain, it's just not exciting anymore- always moving towards something more "extreme" and degrading. The internet brings streaming videos and camgirls into the bedrooms of people who slowly (and without realizing it) condition themselves into an inability to perform in human-to-human sex.

As far as positive conditioning goes, the best reward one can give oneself is an orgasm- and when an orgasm accompanies all this objectification (women are being reduced to three holes and two hands, as one man tactfully put it), how can one not begin the path away from human sexual contact? Especially when to get laid, you often have to take a risk of getting shot down...a camgirl won't say no.

I'm far from passing judgment on women in the sex-industry. They are making their own choices (here I only refer to consenting adults) and choosing to have themselves objectified. They are not victims, no do they require much judging aimed their way. They are still being used as props in pornography. Often when watching these scenes, you can see a brief moment where the girl winces, or blanches before engaging in what she does. Other times you can see tears in her eyes. It's pretty common knowledge that most porn acts are not sexually satisfying for women (if not uncomfortable) but in these moments you can see right through their imitations of girls enjoying sex (irony much?). Why aren't these moments edited out? Either

(I had to do this one, the subject line is an REM title! And Zombies were mentioned. :D )

Definantly the fuckin' zombies.


God will protect us from any and all meteorites,
Global warming doesn't exist,
All the nuclear weapons are in the hands of sane, responsible people,
And only the poor can't afford their flu-shot.

Nothing can save us from Zombies...

So Ken Starr is a bastard, and all the same-sex couples in California look as though they're about to be un-married.
It's so shitty.
This video is really bitter-sweet. These couples and families are simply adorable, and the wedding pictures are so filled with happiness. It's heartbreaking to know that that their marriages might be dissolved. Why are some people so afraid of love?

 

Just thought I'd pass this along.

Uh, yeah. So I feel very inadequate right now....

There's a link on the right for this comic. I suggest it gets read.

I miss you Ellie.

Okay, so what is up with the lesbian love for Sarah Palin?
Really, I just don't get it. The woman is homophobic, pro-life, and the antithesis of "girl power".
She will take away your right to marry who you love; why so many crushes?

If one more person says it's because she's so pretty, or comments on how wonderful she must be because she's a woman in politics, I will eat a baby.

That's right.
A baby.


Somehow or other, I ended up apologising somewhat profusely for my feelings of resentment and hurt due to this weekend's events. I'm not really sure how that one came about...seems I'm a sucker for guys who cry (I get all apologetic and uncomfortable).

"is that water leaking out of your face?!?!"

Speaking of which,
Did you see the pool? They flipped the bitch!

Lucie is the best. She sent me this, and it cheered me up like nothing else.
I find it strange that people are just starting to talk about this...I found out about it early on in the summer.

I've been watching a lot of coverage of the Republican Convention, and I can't really say too much. Anyone who isn't a republican will be equally as unimpressed and annoyed at the open dishonesty, and the republicans are unconvinceable.

That said, nothing made me laugh harder than the CNN announcer correcting Mike Huckabee's factual errors after his speech. Huckabee went WAY beyond simply under-appreciation of the other party, and even beyond some simply manipulation of the facts. He made up his own.

My Palin highlight was the shot of her (six, I presume) year-old daughter holding her son (Palin's...not the kid's). The girl is petting her brother's head, and then brings her hand to her mouth and licks her whole palm so she can flatten down the baby's 'hair'. It doesn't sound too funny, but watching it had me and my grampa cracking up. Oh and that kid kept waving to the audience and pointing to herself.
Cute, in the childish narcissistic way.

Before this, the governor of Hawaii explained to me how qualified for VP Sarah Palin really is. In high school, she took her school's team to the state championships! She was in a beauty pageant up in Alaska...and won! Gee wilikers, I think she's the woman to run one of the most influential foreign countries to us, mum!

Ugh.

PS
She tried to use her position as Mayor to give her authority to ban certain library books.
Not shitting you. It's fucked up.
Whacko.

Your Republican candidate made a clever and insulting move in choosing Sarah Palin as his VP nomination. See, he thinks that your women are stupid enough to vote based on the candidate's sex, and that alone. Since Clinton got far with the women's vote, he is hoping to cash in on their votes by choosing a woman to stand beside him.

Sarah Palin doesn't have women's interests at heart, and while it's great to see a female getting this far, it's sad to think she got there because she has a vagina- and that vagina will get more vagina's to vote for it. She's very anti-choice and quite the opposite to progressive. Lets hope the American women do some research.

20 months as the governor of Alaska. That's her political experience. Just over a year and a half in a non-influential state; I hardly see that as enough experience to run a country, and I don't think anyone else does either. It's insulting to your intelligence to have her on the ballot.

Oh, and her 17 year-old, unwed daughter is pregnant. See where preaching abstinence over BC is getting you? The Republicans are going to shred that poor teen to pieces in order to save her mother's reputation.

Sincerely,
a Canadian teenager, who has a vagina.

PS
Samantha Bee is very awesome. You should look up her segment on Sarah Palin as VP nomination on the internets. It cheered me up after hearing about McCain's choice.

Okay, Kevin linked me to this, and it made me giggle. Best part is the latin/italian conversations with the devil.

This is driving me nuts. 
I've gone as far as question 30. But I'm stuck and tired and taking a break.

Great workout for the memory though. 

Here's the linky link. I dare you all to try it.

Lemme know how far you get before you give up.

While not exactly "prepared", I do have a very basic plan.

Upon hearing about these poor, rotting things, I will take up a gang of attractive yet intelligent men and women to commandeer a cruise ship. Me and my attractive coherts will live on the cruise ship until the zombies are gone...or just stay on the ship and send the uggo's on small life boats to gather food from land (should they not die out on their own, or quickly enough).

While zombies are a threat, they can't think or swim. However, they can walk under the water...which might be an issue. Luckily they can't quite jump from the bottom of the ocean to my cruise ship. All is well.

If you consider yourself to be both a hottie and a smartie- send me a friend invite (if not already a friend) and I will put you on my list of people to save in case of Zombie Attack.

Yeah, I actually have that list.
Not joking.
Heh.

Kevin, who is wonderful, lent me the SCUM manifesto last week.

SCUM is Valerie Solanas' Society for Cutting Up Men. 

This was possibly the most ridiculous and scarily amusing things I've read recently. 
Valerie Solanas studied psych in college. She was the chick who shot Andy Warhol (he wouldn't produce her play, or something along those lines). Possibly the most bitter lesbian ever.

Man, is apparently , responsible for: 


Some quotes, for my own enjoyment:

It is now technically feasible to reproduce without the aid of males (or, for that matter, females) and to produce only females. (p 35)
*No, Valerie, darling, we still need both male and females to create babies. 

He'll screw a woman he despises, any snaggle-toothed hag, and furthermore, pay for the opportunity. Why? Relieving physical tension isn't the answer, as masturbation suffices for that. It's not ego satisfaction: that doesn't explain screwing corpses and babies. (p 37)
*Not every man is a peodophile, or a necrophiliac, and rarely is one both.

Every man, deep down, knows he's a worthless piece of shit. (p 39)

The company of the lowest female is preferable to his own or that of other men, who serve only to remind him of his repulsiveness. But females, unless very young or very sick, must be coerced or bribed into male company. (p 40)

Every boy wants to imitate his mother, be her, fuse with her, but Daddy forbids this; he is the mother; he gets to fuse with her. (p 44)
*How very Freudian of you, Valerie. One thing, I thought men were stupid? Freud is the exception?

In actual fact, the female function is to explore, discover, invent, solve problems crack jokes, make music- all with love. In other words, create a magic world. (p 47)
*Ah, the feminine utopia. Faeries and unicorns and spells- oh my!

There's no reason why a society consisting of rational beings capable of empathizing with each other, complete and having no natural reason to compete, should have a government, laws or leaders.(p 52)
*Turns out, only females can empathize, and they're NEVER jealous of each other or compete! Wowsa! We can have woman power...anarchy! Rah rah rah!

A woman not only takes her identity and individuality for granted, but knows instinctively that the only wrong is to hurt others, and that the meaning of life is love. (p 53)

Like conversation, love can exist only between two secure, free-wheeling, independent groovy female-females, since friendship is based upon respect, not contempt. (p 57)
*Uh oh. Turns out I was wrong about being pan. I can only have love with other ciswomen. Fuck.

The female can easily- far more easily than she may think- condition away her sex drive, leaving her completely cool and cerebral and free to pursue truly worthy relationships and activities... (p 60)
* Haha. No. I can't. I like it TOO MUCH. 

Sex is the refuge of the mindless. And the more mindless the woman, the more deeply embedded in the male "culture," in short, the nicer she is, the more sexual she is. The nicest women in our "society" are raving sex maniacs. But, being just awfully, awfully nice, they don't, of course descend to fucking- that's uncouth- rather they make love. (p 60)
* I certainly do not make love. Kevin's not allowed to call it that. Ever. I fuck like no one's business, and I'm hardly nice.

The male likes death- it excites him sexually and, already dead inside, he wants to die. (p 66)
* I... *sniff* ... smell....*sniff*... Freeeeuuuud. 

Just as humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male, is therefore, a righteous and good act, an act of highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy. (p 67)
* I'm sure the men see it that way too....  o.O

As for the issue of whether or not to continue to reproduce males, it doesn't follow that because the male, like disease, has always existed among us that he should continue to exist. (p 67)

A small handful of SCUM can take over the country within a year by systematically fucking up the system, selectively destroying property, and murder. (p 71)
*But...I thought that women could empathize, and didn't need to do these things! I thought we were going to have a utopia with fun and love and magic! Valerie Solanas, you lie!  >.<

SCUM will kill all men who are not in the Men's Auxiliary of SCUM. Men in the Men's Auxiliary are those men who are working diligently to eliminate themselves, me who, regardless of their motives, do good, men who are playing pall with SCUM. A few examples of the men in the Men's Auxiliary are: men who kill men;  biological scientists who are working on constructive programs, as opposed to biological warfare... (p 72- 73)
*It gets a whole fuckload weirder in pages to come

The few remaining men can exist out their puny days dropped out on drugs or strutting around in drag or passively watching the high-powered female in action, fulfilling themselves as spectators, vicarious livers or breeding in the cow pasture with the toadies, or they can go off to the nearest friendly suicide center where they will be quietly, quickly, and painlessly gassed to death. (p 79)
*How like Hitler. Mein Kampf was written a bit more appealingly though.

Many women will for a while continue to think they dig men, but as they become accustomed to female society and as they become absorbed in their projects, they will eventually come to see the utter uselessness and banality of the male. (p 79)
*Yes, and then all the straight girls will become lesbians- Valerie will never be spurned again! Muahahahahahaha! 


This woman is bonkers. I wish she was still alive, for I would love to sit down and talk with her.

This website is fantastic. It's a game where you play psychiatrist to five stuffed animals. Each toy has a different set of symptoms, and you can do things to help them...or fuck them up.

There's even an ECT machine under the bed. HA!

I received hours of secret amusement from this game while in ARR (Shitby). It's satisfying to play doctor to these cute stuffies after talking to the bitchy Dr S.

I highly recommend trying out this game. 

Tip: the turtle is the hardest, the hippo the easiest.
