In which it’s all peace and sunshine! People are rioting in the UK, and apparently no one can figure out why. (Hint: happy people don’t riot.) Egypt thinks they’re doing it wrong, and Egypt’s right. Authorities are freaking out that rioters are coordinating via technology so watch this space for more legislation seeking control and […]
In which I suggest that the American Dream is propaganda. I spend a lot of time on Twitter, and I’m following more and more political feeds (as a result of my fascination with Anonymous). I now even see tweets I disagree with, because my timeline’s not as curated as it once was. And so this[*] […]
In which there’s an incoherent brain dump on love, desire, and the mind. I am surrounded by human beings who appear to be quite infatuated with romantic love and/or the frequency and quality of sexual intercourse they are (or aren’t) experiencing. As I’m currently seeking neither romantic love nor sex, I end up watching behaviours […]
In which I have a metric fuckton of time, but still feel like I’m too busy to blog. I survived the Morgan family reunion last weekend, which was, in essence, five days of drinking like a fish bookended with two six-hour trips on Greyhound buses with my brother. Apropos of nothing: THIS IS AN AMAZING […]
In which I have nothing to do. School’s out. I’m still unemployed. Aside from having to apply to three positions per week and recording them on my official Job Search Log – well, that and the occasional gig – I have literally nothing to do. Is it cool? Yes. Is it weird? Also yes. I […]
In which everyone wants to be thin and rich and have great sex. They also want to be more right than everyone else about what God wants. The top 25 most-highlighted books on the Kindle are about vanity and fucking, the love of money, self-help, and God. The Bible appears five times. The other “religious” […]
In which I do something I don’t think I’ve ever done here: give a vocal lesson! I have a friend who kicks ass when she shows up at karaoke. She’s been in bands. She’s a singer. She comes to my gigs sometimes. She posted this article on Facebook today, and I read it, and damn […]
In which it’s finals week. I shall {seriously endeavor to} be (mostly) AFK until Thursday night after I’m done with school. Why? Because it’s finals week, and I’m totally not ready. I have HOURS of LabSim left to slog through, a chapter test and a practice test and and moar practice tests and a final […]
In which I fly! To Seattle! On a plane! Last week I went to Seattle to see my beloved Satguru, Amma, properly known as Sri Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi. While I was there I enjoyed a lovely retreat, learned a new meditation technique, suffered a vicious spring cold, had a series of trippy spiritual revelations, […]
