Found a rap when I was feeling incensed about the Steubenville video and also about a picture of the president with this guy holding up the "Obama 1" t-shirt. Some of the rap goes like this:
Haters say look how she was dressed
But I didn't look my best
My uniform was a mess
I looked like a Denny's waitress
(Chicken Fried Steak y'all)
-- A Rap by somebody
So sports fan cowards, I would like to know your opinion. Why are so many of these sports hero dudes either a) being persecuted by being falsely accused of rape by hysterical hot women or b) actually raping people and you do not seem to care? Why? Why is it that you do not care? Is it too much to ask that you care? Is it because it's not your daughter that you don't care? Is the topic too uncomfortable for you? I just want to know. Why do you not care? Why not? I'm feeling really curious. Why don't you care?
The writer who posted the rap video says:
"This video only confirms she was looking for easy cash. What rape victim gets on stage smiling and rapping about being raped? Wow. Girl is psychotic."
How do you know that? Is there some certain way that all rape victims are supposed to act? Especially if it's five years after the fact? Is she still supposed to be cowering and crying in a dark corner five years later?
For our president to pose for such a photo, with a person of such questionable character, with such a self-congratulatory message on that shirt, is a disgrace and a betrayal.
This photo caught our president at a very weak moment.
I think that photo proves that our president is capable of being a very weak leader.

Purple wafers taste like cloves
I heard the funny food episode on Wait Wait... on Saturday. Originally, I started writing a satirical little story in my head, which centered on the image of a high school girl walking backwards and pitching purple wafers at her neighbor's car while singing the "Why Can't We Be Friends" song, and if he deigned to so much as even throw a glance or a scowl in her direction, she'd say, "What, does my behavior offend you or something? I'll have you know, this is considered a charming custom in the kingdom VISIONQUESTLANDIA on the planet where I come from!" And P.S. What on earth is the artist on this album cover doing to that car? And I would crack myself up, at least a little bit. But then real life intervened and people had to go to the hospital again and I just didn't feel like being so flippant/funny about anything for the time being. Oh well. C'est tragic. That is life sometimes.
By the way, as I was composing this little tragedy, the person I live with walked into the room and felt the need to share a variation of the "Always Keep Your Condoms..." story.

This is still a good album
Got it long ago and listened to it again.
Central Reservation
I like the song Stolen Car but I have to say, the video's a little nerve-wracking. All those microphones being shoved in the singer's face! Not much like singing along to it in the car.

Ooooh, she sounds interesting: Interview: Sugaring Season

It's very hard but it's good
That people try to raise awareness about difficult topics. I read these...
Steubenville
On Internet...
I didn't read everything all the way, though.
I am of the opinion that there is a really big problem in our society.
With regard to the first post about Steubenville, that infamous video can make a person numb. It's awful. There's references to celebrities...I'm surprised he didn't manage to reference Mr. I hold up an Obama #1 shirt at the White House. I think that when the president of our country and father of two daughters is that proud of himself for standing by someone who features prominently in this piece on sexual assault, it indicates we have a culture of denial. IMMENSE DENIAL. If I was his wife, I think I would divorce him. I'm sure that some people in the powers that be can change the way this stuff is dealt with in sports culture. Which many women enjoy, by the way, IN SPITE of the flagrant disrespect for women that mars it.

Traveling on Sunday
In the car to b.f.:
"Do you think there is an astronomy course that is light on the mathematics and heavy on the celestial bodies?"
At Vasquez Rocks:
"Auuugh, this place is so cool, so cool, I can't believe how cool this place is, look at that, this almost makes up for having to see oil derricks when we go to the beach, look at that, wow, this place is so cool...did I already say that 50 times?"

Purple is nice
But the very nice picture I want to post won't load at the moment, so oh well.
Lacking funds, medical expertise, or the ability to magically gift anyone with the health insurance plan they deserve and need in this great country of ours, I guess I can always recommend free meditations...
You do what you can.

So
This is not so cute, but it is a debilitatingly major part of some peoples' lives...
Panic Attack and Panic Disorder
And the antiquated AA book written in the 30s needs to be updated to be less fucking religious and more woman-friendly.

Well this is telling
and depressing...Soldier suicides outpaced combat deaths
But this is kind of interesting...Hunting as rustic therapy

There's a story in the Hot Chocolate book about adopting two children from Peru named Sophia and Henry.
Dark letter
This is a gloomy article to read in the morning. What is this about: "Police have said the accused have admitted to torturing and raping the student 'to teach her a lesson.'" What kind of lesson? Seriously, WHAT KIND OF LESSON.
Dear Somebody, like maybe somebody in Hollywood who secretly wants this sort of letter written to you.
One time when I was in college and living in a dorm, this knucklehead got drunk and then decided that it would be fun to repeatedly RAM his skateboard into my door at three in the morning. I got very tired of this, and so I finally got up and opened the door and said something that was SO unfriendly, like "Will you PLEASE shut up now!" and then slammed my door. He yelled "Go back to bed yourself, you bitch!" and stomped down the hallway. But a girl in his group of friends walked him to my door and made him apologize to me. She had her arm around his shoulders and she gave me a LOOK when this happened, like "just accept his apology already." Fine, I accept that she made you say you were sorry. Now I am going back to sleep. Anyway. The next day it was the biggest joke ever. Marauding bands of boys could not stop repeating the story and loudly laughing about it, while I stayed in my room and avoided them.
Now, I know that this is probably a really excessive and gruesome comparison, but sometimes I wonder if this is the same kind of mean laughter that goes on when some young dumb GIs decide it would be fun to make an underage girl have sex with them on a military base, or a group of stupid frat boys tell themselves it's cool to slip roofies into the punch, or a bunch of soldiers feel like going out and attacking someone (maybe even each other?) And isn't it sad how much of this goes on in the world? Meanwhile, there you sit, writing or directing or producing or costuming or whatevering for a certain kind of actress who has to mold herself to conform to certain weight & height & behavioral standards to satiate some kind of socially acceptable and ultimately PURITANICAL sexual appetite. You know what? I think that female dominatrixes exist to launder your dirty money. I suggest you go out and employ one for her services. It's likely that she'd do you a world of good.
I guess that's it for now, and I think I'm going to go back to reading something nice like Hot Chocolate For The Mystical Soul, at least for the moment (not for forever) so PEACE OUT!

Guido! Don't send us upstairs when we're old!
So, 8 1/2 is available for instant viewing on Netflix.
It is at least as entertaining as Nine.
And it has a wider variety of body types for the actresses.
I was wondering what would happen if there was a gender reversal of the director's character. Then I thought to look at this person's gallery, and I was very surprised to discover that it was not easy to find a picture of her brandishing a whip.
I wonder how Guido in 8 1/2 is like Leopold Bloom?
(The hero of Ulysses, which I still have not read...)
