Thoughts I Had While Trimming My 6 Inch Long Toenails
- If cinnamon buns were sentient beings, would I be considered a serial killer? Or have I killed and eaten so many that I could be tried for crimes against . . . cinnamon bunanity? I totally just made up a word.
- Would Superman’s super-hearing be a disadvantage in a fight with Black Bolt?
- I’ve always wanted red hair (hopefully the kind that I can control with my mind like Medusa of the Inhumans. I would make my hair choke people.) but it would look horrible with my Killer Croc skin.
- I’ve found a woman friendly space online in which women can have debates about feminism and still be respected. It’s nice to not have to deal with MRAs or the faux-feminist males who think they know better than women about how to be a feminist. What’s particularly interesting is that a place like that is needed at all—most men see every place as their place. If they see a woman’s blog or a mostly female message board, they think it’s their right and privilege to go into those places and demand answers and basically take over the conversation. All privileges of being male: their voice is considered more important so they know that people will listen to them, they think they belong everywhere, and they think they should have a say in a movement that is for someone else. Oh, to have that kind of nerve—or, as I like to call it, privilege of not having to think about people, especially when, on some level, you consider those people less than you. These type of men are not allies of feminists.
- I have no problem with this guy—except for his voice. I have no idea why but I hate it.
- It’s always interesting to see the debate about porn/sexualized images reduced to someone telling a woman that she’s just jealous or by calling someone a prude for thinking that the massive amount of over-sexualized images of women in society just might have some sort of influence on how women in society are viewed. By “interesting” I mean stupid and by “someone” I mean the same sort of people who believe sexuality is power for women (thus reducing women to their sexuality) and people who like to yell out “Napoleon had a mom!” It’s a sign of simplistic and dualistic thinking. It’s also interesting to see men turn a conversation about women and the influence of a sexist culture on them into a conversation about men. It becomes some sort of nonsense about censorship or feminists trying to control how men think. All just a red herring and a change of the conversation—a change of the conversation that, not surprisingly, moves the debate back around to men and how they feel about it.
- How can one person manage to comment on like, 50 gazillion blogs at about a comment every half an hour? This is a superpower and it must be shared with the masses. Or at least other LJ users.
- You know those people who die alone in their homes and their cats eat their corpses? If I oversleep, will my cat start nibbling on my toes? You laugh but my husband woke up one night and she had started working on his fingers so I can only assume that she figures if our eyes our closed, we’re fair game.
- I have to get new glasses. I want some Elton John glasses. Why? Just because.
- I like turtles.
- My investigation into this thing called the Internet has shown me that some people can only get people to pay attention to them when they’re ripping into someone else. No original thoughts of their own.
- My husband and I argue about donuts.
- I’m glad to see Ami is back to blogging more now. Hi Ami!
- I haven’t watched Smallville in weeks. I wonder if the sun is still shining out of Lana Lang’s ass?
- My pinky finger and the blue button are out to get me. They are working together to make sure that I never do well in Guitar Heroes III. Bastards.
- I got a mod for my Sims 2 game. It lets me force them to breed with anyone that I want them to breed with. I created a town and made them all inbreed. I may be sick but my experiment showed something interesting: after about three generations, no one had a nose.
- I think the whole forgive and forget crap is nonsense. Why would you put yourself in a position to be treated badly once again?
- Justice League: The New Frontier comes out on DVD on Tuesday.
-
How did this post get to be so long? Oh, yeah. I think a lot of crap in the 8 hours it takes me to trim my toenails. But don’t worry folks. I still have 4 inches of nail on each toe—perfect for warmer weather and flip-flops!
