I used to go out with this fella named Daniel who took some perverse pleasure in making me sad. He was kinda a little bit weird, but so was I. So we fit. I used to have a really difficult time reading the paper. Not because I’m illiterate but because I simply couldn’t handle the [...]
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 [...]
i’m watching the grammy awards right now and okay, admittedly, it’s been awhile since i’ve last seen one. we’re talking probably a decade or more. but still. i have just one question. has it changed so much that they’ve simply stopped giving out awards now? is it just a really long, pretentious and expensive concert? [...]
okay. so i had this revelation just now. like, literally five minutes ago that those people. the ones in japan and china and where ever else it is those people come from, those people have got to be doing serious drugs. i mean, they have to be. i bet you any amount of money. anything [...]
i don’t believe in television. i mean, of course i believe in it. in the way that you see it and it exists. not like the tooth fairy or easter bunny who only maybe exist. for a million years i didn’t even have t.v. i chose not to. there were a thousand other things i [...]

A Woman's Manifesto
Because a woman’s work is never done.
and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious,
and we’re the first to get fired,
and what we look like is more important than what we do.
And if we get raped its our fault
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it
and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches
and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos
and if we don’t we’re frigid
and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a real man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish
and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and un-feminine
and if we don’t we’re typical weak females
and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man
and if we don’t we’re unnatural
and because we still can’t get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon
and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion
and for lots and lots of other reasons
we are part of the women’s liberation movement.- Joyce Stevens, International Woman’s Day, 1975.

Man Vs. Heart Attack
I am somewhat worried about the dude on Man v Food. He isn’t looking so good these days and putting that food away like that can’t be good for him.
One should always be drunk. That's all that matters; that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time's horrible burden; one which breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without cease.
But with what? With wine, poetry, or virtue as you choose. But get drunk.
And if, at some time, on steps of a palace, in the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you are waking and the drunkenness has already abated, ask the wind, the wave, the stars, the clock, all that which flees, all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that which sings, all that which speaks, ask them, what time it is; and the wind, the wave, the stars, the birds, and the clock, they will all reply:
"It is time to get drunk!
So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk, get drunk, and never pause for rest! With wine, poetry, or virtue, as you choose!"
Charles Baudelaire
