Okay, I’m just saying, alright? This might possibly be the reason women are so incredibly fucked up about their bodies. I can’t lie to you. I feel a little sick right now. Not like disgusted due to moral outrage kind of sick, but like sick. Legitimately and physically ill. Listen, let me just tell you [...]

Listen, I’m cynical. I know this about myself and as such, I don’t really care much. I mean, I try to be a good girl who cares a lot and believes the best in people, but hell’s bells. The woods are dark and deep. So what if I get a little dark and deep myself [...]

Pretty soon the web isn’t going to be anything but a series of pages linking to other pages. No actual content. Thoughts. Ideas. Nothing. Repetitious accounts and critiques of the same best free software. Just lists of stuff supposedly happening on other sites, pictures lifted from other sources and re-posted again and again and again [...]

When I was young I romanticized everything. Everything was a grand adventure and something wonderful to be discovered, even the tedium I didn’t want. I don’t do that so much anymore. These days the only time I get like that is when I’m premenstrual and the hormones are raging an all out war for control [...]

I’m a troubled sleeper — always have been. Sleep eludes me like Trix cereal continues to elude that poor, silly rabbit. I’m forever chasing it and it’s forever just out of my grasp.

We discussed, you’ll recall, my devastating breakup with my therapist earlier this year. Well — I discussed it and you sat patiently — such good sports that you are. No, I’m still not over him. Time has not healed any wounds whatsoever. I know what “they’ all say and “they” are all liars. Nonetheless, today, [...]

Yeah. Okay, here’s what I don’t get about Law & Order or other cop shows of their ilk. The cops go and question people and they’re all like, “Blah blahblah, tell us what you know!” and the people they’re questioning are always like, “Blah blah blah. Blah.” RUDE! and they don’t even stop what they’re [...]

say what you will about barbie, but the girl had goals. or has goals. i guess she only just got divorced, not dead. inexplicably considered a role model for young girls, people dump a lot on the poor, plastic career woman with the malibu mansion. she stands accused of setting unrealistic expectations of physical beauty [...]

there’s an interesting article over at Rolling Stone on NBC’s To Catch A Predator. the thing that scares me about that show isn’t that creepy pervs are preying on young girls. it’s that some nerdy, trollish, and by all accounts antisocial computer geek has hoodwinked the television execs into putting them on the air and [...]
