What is feminism? What is a feminist? Does being a feminist or holding onto the ideal of feminism pigeonhole a person into being dowdy or dumpy or old? And is the corollary valid that if you dress feminine and wear jewelry and make-up that you have somehow abandoned feminism? How about this … [Read more...]
Rape vs. Rape: My take on Martin vs. Gabaldon
So, I thought I would let things quiet down a bit before posting my, decidedly sexist, rant on the rapes of Sansa and Jaime. Preface: I read both series of books. I am caught up on Game of Thrones (GOT) and have a few more to go in the Outlander Series. However, I have read beyond the point of … [Read more...]
Frontal Lobe Paroxysms of a Social Moron
This entire blog displays perfectly why this title fits. It, in and of itself is a frontal lobe paroxysm. Luckily, I have some really great friends who tell me to blow off these little fits...heck, they even tell me that they are part of why I am so lovable. I tell you this, after becoming … [Read more...]
The Myth of Tolerance And Why Liberals Are to Blame
I am sure you have seen these bumper stickers plastered all over liberal hippy scum cars. Right? They are usually right above the big "Namaste" sticker. Every time I see one of these stickers I cringe with disgust. I cannot stand that we (Yes, I am part of the liberal hippy scum culture) have … [Read more...]
Contemplating Shame ~ Consumentality ~ The History of Stuff
I wanted to jar you out of your "shame" mentality with the title (s) . Did I succeed? Only time will tell. It seems like an unrelated and possibly unintelligible grouping of words and discourses. The title may only make sense at the end...but we are at the beginning... and, we are really going to … [Read more...]
I love you, Mr. Dewey… Organize your home library, if you dare!
I have a TON of books. Even to say that I have a ton of books does not do my books justice. Between my husband and I, we are fairly close to book hoarders, especially prior to the clean-up. I got it into my head that I wanted to organize my books from a hoarder's nest into a pretty awesome home … [Read more...]
Easter, my grandparents… very weighty subjects.
I don't know what to call this post. I think I ought to write it first and see what pops up. [going back, i hate the name, if anyone has a better one, throw it out there] I cannot believe it is Holy Week. Churches that do not celebrate Holy Week are missing out. This is the what is lovely and … [Read more...]
A Letter to The Boss From the One Being Fired
Or...What the hell is so wrong with your business that they have to fire people every couple of months? Another rant where I have to decided if I am going to share the contents with the rantee. The background is this, I worked at a law office as a paralegal for about 2 months. At the end of that … [Read more...]
We Know What Is Best For Africans Like We Knew What Was Best For Native Americans
So I hope everyone is getting the concept that "perfectly joyful" has some fairly tongue in cheek connotations to it. I tend to blog, not when I am ecstatic over a new crochet piece but when I am fired up, royally. Last night got me all fired up! Why? Read the title....that fired up. However, I want … [Read more...]
Top 5 Best North County Craft Beer Breweries
This is long in coming. Why? Because my husband and I are what you might call "beer bitches". What that means is that we are incredibly picky with beer. We mock people who drink average beer and we go against the norm of IPA. In fact, it is safe to say that we hate IPAs. My husband brews his own … [Read more...]
