In which I go through such absurdity with women customers sometimes. [dropcap]P[/dropcap]hone rings. I answer. “Tech support. May I help you?” Woman’s voice, in full-on baby talk mode: “I have an iPhone. I can’t send mail.” Me: “Oh, yeah, I’ve heard of that. Apple seems to assume that all outgoing mail servers use SSL, but […]
In which I’m not looking forward to the upcoming Even Greater Depression. 1. Fox News lies regularly, and this behavior isn’t even illegal. The country is fractured, and it’s partialy because news reportage is terribly damaged. The people who watch one station honestly believe the people who watch another station are insane because they can’t […]
In which I HAZ A MAD. Dear cell phone carrier, JUST FUCKING TELL ME HOW MUCH IT COSTS WHEN I ASK. I’m going to sign up anyway, and your stupid contract will ensure I can’t go anywhere. Do not tell me “it’s sixty-nine ninety-five a month,” when that number is as related to how much […]
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 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 there’s just so much stupid shit going on that I can’t keep my mouth shut. Here’s a list of unrelated items! I am basically bitching, here. YHBW. 1. Republicans Against War? MY ARSE. Republicans against enforcing the Libyan no-fly zone “because it costs too much” are proof, as if we needed any, that […]
In which I smack you around a little. Here’s the deal. Gaddafi, a crazy person, whose family holds over half of Libya’s entire wealth, has been using a mercenary army to battle unarmed civilians. (A mercenary army made up of non-Libyans hired when Gaddafi lost control of the Libyan army after telling them to shoot […]
