May. 31st, 2008 04:12 amMen who explain things.
(I allow men to explain things to me that I already understand, far too often. They should stop it, and I should stop allowing it.)
[Edit: To those men who are explaining linux text editors to me, I didn't mean you. I *don't* understand this, and I appreciate the help. It's coincidence that I ran across this article at this time. :-)]

Fuck euphemisms (thanks for the link,gramina.)
Ikea Hacker
Munchkin The Elder had a shitty week and dealt with some problems with great strength and maturity. Yay!
( The bad: [Nooks, you might want to look away. This is the closest I get to blogging about blogging] )

Sep. 2nd, 2007 10:57 ammactavish posted this link to the Midwest Teen Sex Show, and it's great so far! I think all teenagers (and other people interested in sex, sex education, and the happy future of frankness about sexuality) should check it out.Good things about today:
1. It was Official Walk-to-the-bathroom-in-the-nude-if-you-want Day. (The Munchkin went home last night.)
2. Didn't get all the dishes cleaned, but did get groceries, and make some yummy food with them, so on balance, a good housewifey day.
3. Flirting is yummy. Flirting with someone who doesn't think flirting means eek-we-must-be-in-a-relationship-now is even yummier. If that person's hot/smart/cute, all the better.
4. It's been more than a week since my last bad/angsty/sick day. I think whatever it was has passed. Yay!
5. Living with someone I can really talk to makes me really happy.
6. evil mad scientist!
7. Wrote a poem for a friend's birthday, and she liked it. Yay.
8. Silly conversations all day long.

May. 16th, 2007 09:06 amWent looking for an aloo gobi recipe. Wikipedia linked to this ifood.tv video, and it looks like the main ifood site will be pretty cool, so I'm passing it on.

Apr. 30th, 2007 03:14 pmMine is a white ethnic blog.
That is to say, I recognize that when I am talking about anything here, I am talking about it from a white person's perspective. I have a lot of examined-and-discarded bias in my history, but don't doubt I have a lot of unexamined bias, too. I was raised in a racist environment in a racist country by racist people, and I can't possibly have escaped some of their thinking. I just want to acknowledge that here, and let you all know that if you ever wanna call me on that shit, I'm listening.

Feb. 14th, 2007 12:00 amA list of good things, to counteract all the whining I've been doing:
1)stonebender and someotherguy, who have put up with even more whining, on IM and in person
2) Excellent short film on chicks dating chicks: Part 1 and Part 2.
3) Lots of comfort food and orange juice (cf. "someotherguy", above)
4) (and I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not) A job where I can work even when deathly ill, from the comfort of my own computer chair, with only one cow-orker to potentially give the crud to
5) Said cow-orker has not gotten the crud yet, it seems. Here's hopin'.
By the way, I don't care about Valentine's day, so I haven't really been paying it much attention, but I just noticed it's midnight, so let me just announce that I really love my partners a whole hell of a lot.

Jan. 21st, 2007 12:26 am1) porcinea, did you see this? http://community.livejournal.com/craftgrrl/9762932.html
2) There were threads on Wonder Bread and tuna salad on rec.food.cooking this week. I realized a few minutes ago that my midnight snack was a thread tying thing: http://pics.livejournal.com/serenecooking/gallery/0001zhfs (not Wonder bread, but the softest, yummiest white bread I've ever made)
3) Love this. Love it love it love it. Thank you,14cyclenotes! If I didn't know he hadn't, I would've thought someotherguy invented it: http://www.pocketmod.com/
4) The NRA has a charming new pamphlet out. I especially love page 18 (11 of the .pdf), with the stubbly-legged, Birkenstock-wearing hippychick animal-rights-terrorist whose companion owl is carrying dynamite: http://www.rawprint.com/images/nrf8_perilfinal_fpr.pdf

Okay, I totally love Duotrope so far -- much easier to use than Writer's Market, and it's free. I'm going to shoot them some money when I can, but in the meanwhile, if you send your writing around, you may want to look into it.
Thanks tosistercoyote's inspiration, I've sent out seven poems tonight. That's a productive evening for me. (I've also gotten some other work done, but this is the more exciting of the two projects.)

Jan. 11th, 2007 08:01 pmI Freecycled my Poet's Market, as I do every year, and then couldn't afford a new one yet. Thanks to sistercoyote, I've found a really good free website that even has a free submission tracker. I'll post more as I see how it turns out, but so far, I'm getting good search results, and the site is easy to use.
