Last night, I went with James and Broderick to see the amazing Bat For Lashes at the Loft, and she was, well, amazing (albeit, a bit strange… she really takes being “alternative” seriously). I really enjoyed her set (Natasha Khan was admittedly outstanding live), and even the opening band, Other Lives, was quite amazing as [...]

two things I would do differently, if I were in a band
Published by August 18th, 2009 in all about me, concerts, get over it!, is it just me?, music musings, venting and wtf?!. 6 CommentsYelp: a(nother) soapbox for bigots?
Published by August 5th, 2009 in all about me, blog on blog, civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 15 CommentsImagine my surprise when someone requested to be friends with me on Yelp today, and I find out that he is writing extremely hurtful and bigoted remarks about me in one of his “reviews”. Not only did he post the review, but after it was taken down, he was allowed to remain member of Yelp, [...]
teacher furloughs: a new low for Perdue
Published by July 23rd, 2009 in get involved, is it just me?, near and dear, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 5 CommentsWhen James mentioned that they were going to be asking teachers to take 3 unpaid days to “make up for a huge deficit”, I honestly thought he was joking. Since he is teacher, I have had a first hand account of out what really goes on inside the schools, and it actually blows my mind [...]
why do I always attract “that girl”?
Published by July 20th, 2009 in is it just me?, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 4 CommentsSaturday night, some friends and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather, and chose a restaurant with a big patio (the Midway Pub in the EAV) for dinner. Overall, it was a nice dinner, a friend of mine in from out of town made friends with a neighboring table, and we all had [...]
with a “role model” like this…
Published by June 24th, 2009 in blog on blog, civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, near and dear, politics, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 5 CommentsWho needs enemies? ESPECIALLY when this particular “role model” is nothing but a non-celebrity that is using his crass, bitchy, and bitter attitude to do nothing but bring the rest of us down to his level. Unfortunately, the person I am speaking of, is faux-celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, and his latest stunt that is bringing [...]
um, thanks… FOR NOTHING
Published by June 18th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, near and dear, politics, that is so gay, venting, well? and wtf?!. 0 CommentsIt seems that my outrage yesterday was a little less than it should have been. Turns out, the gesture Obama tried to placate us with, was worth nothing: The memorandum Obama signed Wednesday is not expected to grant health and retirement benefits to same-sex partners, as that is prohibited under the Defense of Marriage Act. [...]
um, thanks?
Published by June 17th, 2009 in civil rights, listen up!, politics, that is so gay, well? and wtf?!. 3 CommentsAm I the only one who thinks that Obama’s recent act of granting benefits to same sex couples is kind of, well, a cop out? First of all, it is only for federal employees, which is definitely nice, since I work for the government, and know many people that will be able to take advantage [...]
to the sexist asshole at the liquor store:
Published by June 13th, 2009 in all about me, is it just me?, venting, well? and wtf?!. 5 CommentsNo, I am NOT a woman; men can carry bags for their shit these days too. No, I will not leave my $400 bag with ipod, wallet, sunglasses, etc. behind the counter, because, if for NO OTHER REASON, women are allowed to carry their bags throughout the store; and therefore, so should I. Basically, some [...]
sony fail: let me count the ways
Published by June 9th, 2009 in is it just me?, mixed media, movie musings, shiny stuff, venting, well? and wtf?!. 6 CommentsSo I finally caved and bought a PS3. I was hoping there would be a price drop announced last week at E3, which is what I have been waiting for before I bought one, but there wasn’t even a hint of such a thing happening any time soon. Since the PS3 is only $100 more [...]
I’m this close
Published by May 27th, 2009 in all about me, school, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 6 Comments…to completely giving up. I have applied, taken classes, kissed ass, sent in form after fucking form, and it is all apparently not enough. I cannot get into a fucking nursing program to save my life. I am really close to just saying, “fuck it, universe, you win”. I just got off of the phone [...]
