Sick at Heart

Posted by admin on May 31, 2009

I am grieving today for a man I’ve never met.  Until this day, I was only vaguely aware of him.  Who is this man?  Dr. George Tiller, a Wichita doctor who performed late-term abortions.  He was one of only three doctors in the country to handle such abortions.  Read the section called Jesus’s Jihadis.  And today, [...]

An Elegy for…Me

Posted by admin on

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to pass the mourning of Minna E. Hong.  
Now, of course, I am not dead–otherwise this would be a pretty freaky post.  However, I am slowly letting go of the me that I have been for the last fifteen years or so.  You see, after I graduated from [...]

Touched, Humbled, and Honored

Posted by admin on May 29, 2009

A very dear friend (whom I’ve never met as she currently lives in France) named Jamie who has the marvelous cooking blog, Life’s A Feast, bestowed upon me the Bella Award which is for “One Lovely Blog”.  Now, lovely is not the first word I would affix to my blog, but I am touched, humbled, and [...]

Life is But a Dream

Posted by admin on May 28, 2009

This is MY brain, and you’re only peeking into it.   As I have blogged about before, I dream a lot.  I remember at least one dream a night, and my dreams are, with very few exceptions, nightmares.  Last night’s dream was no exception, but it was a strange sort of nightmare.  Therefore, I am [...]

She’s a Spicy Tamale!

Posted by admin on May 27, 2009

And so it begins.  Even before Sonia Sotomayor was picked by Obama as his first SCOTUS nominee, the monkeys started howling about how unfit she was.  I blogged about the indignation here.  In that entry, I deconstructed what racism feels like (as much as I could) and how white privilege is rampant and unexamined (by [...]

Fuck You, California

Posted by admin on May 26, 2009

Subtitled:  I’m taking my next vacation in Iowa.
First of all, I am not a lawyer.  I don’t play one on TV, and I don’t purport to understand all the complexities of our legal system.  I wanted to get that out of the way because I want my not-so-gentle readers to be clear that what I [...]

It’s Torture

Posted by admin on May 25, 2009

I love words, as you know.  Why use one word when ten will do?  That said, I have two words for the ‘debate’ surrounding the ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ we employed at Gitmo and other prisons.
It’s torture.  
There can be no debate. 
The right says, “But it works!”  Then, the left gets derailed into whether it actually [...]

Fuck the World; I Wanna Get Off

Posted by admin on May 24, 2009

I don’t belong in this world.  I realized that when I was in my teens, but I have felt it since–well since I was sentient, I suppose.
I tried to fit in–god knows I tried.  However, I could never imitate that which I didn’t quite understand.  I did my best.  I had feathered bangs in high [...]

A Life Worth Living

Posted by admin on May 23, 2009

OK, I lied.  I do have something to say.  Here we go.
My life has been defined by what I’m not and what I don’t like.  When I was a kid, I didn’t like playing with dolls.  I didn’t want to wear skirts or dresses.  I didn’t dream about my wedding day, and I didn’t much [...]

Meh, in the Internet Sense

Posted by admin on

I’m not feeling it today.  Here’s a video for you.  Maybe I’ll be hit with inspiration later.  Oh, I have to say one thing.  A woman on Balloon Juice, who also has a thing for Alan Rickman, has a friend who had a drink with him.  I am eaten up with envy.  That is all.
