I Don’t Pay Her Enough

Posted by admin on January 21, 2010

I have been seeing my therapist for eleven-billionty years.  For the first few years, I talked about mostly-superficial things.  Let me back up.  I started seeing my current therapist the last time I decided to lose weight as I was well-aware of how fucked-up I am about my body, food, and weight loss in general. [...]

Fuck You, World

Posted by admin on January 20, 2010

I am thisclose to shutting down my blog and walking away.  Why?  Two political reasons and a host of personal ones.  As my faithful readers know, I read Balloon Juice on a daily basis.  There is a schism developing there that is pretty much par the course for the Democratic Party, and things really started [...]

Melancholy Expressed

Posted by admin on October 23, 2009

I have been wrapped in melancholy today.  It’s not the weather because I enjoy cool, rainy, drizzly days.   In fact, they warm my soul, as contradictory as that sounds.
It’s partly political.  I have been avoiding the story about the woman who worked for Halliburton/KBR and was gang-raped by her coworkers while they were in [...]

9/11, Eight Years Later

Posted by admin on September 12, 2009

Where were you eight years ago (and one day) when the Towers fell?  For my generation, it has replaced, “Where were you when the Challenger exploded?” as the defining question of our lives (at least until we elected Barack Hussein Obama as president).
Where was I?  I was in California, the Bay Area to be precise. [...]

Don’t Rest Just Yet, Senator Kennedy

Posted by admin on August 26, 2009

We lost a good man today.  Well, yesterday, but I woke up to the news today.  Senator Ted Kennedy, the last of the fabled Kennedy boys, has left this world.  He has been in serious decline for the last year or so, so I can’t say it was a shock to wake up to the [...]

Hey, GOP! Shut. The. Fuck. Up!

Posted by admin on August 25, 2009

I am blogging tipsy again, and I have reached my limit with the sheer stupidity that is the GOP party right now (as well as the asswipes from the so-called liberal media who are nothing but a bunch of apologetic whores for the right).  The birthers, the deathers (or, as Keith Olbermann calls them, the [...]

I am a Proud Progressive, Part II

Posted by admin on August 23, 2009

When we left your intrepid blogger, I was waxing poetic about sex.  What?  I was talking about god?  Little matter.  My blog, my spin.  Anyway, we were talking about words and how much I adore them.  They intoxicate me and fill me with a swooning glee.  I savor the taste of a new word as [...]

I am a Proud Progressive, Part I

Posted by admin on August 22, 2009

Words are funny things.  In and of themselves, they are pretty neutral.   It’s only because of the meaning we imbue them with that they become charged.  Take, for example, the word faggot or fag.  In America, it’s a derogatory term for a homosexual man.  In England, it’s a cigarette.  Originally, it meant a stick.
In [...]

My Heart is Breaking

Posted by admin on August 17, 2009

I am an All-American Grrl.  I was born in Minneapolis, MN, and I am about as authentic as lutefisk, hot dish, and duck duck gray duck all rolled up into one.  I call myself Taiwanese American, but I am definitely more American than Taiwanese.  However, Taiwan is the motherland for me.  Both my parents were [...]

The More Things Change

Posted by admin on August 16, 2009

As I have stated before, I missed the first wave of feminism as well as the second, the third, and apparently, the fourth (which may or may not be an actual wave).  Most of my ideas about feminism and equality have come to me via experiences and discussions with other likeminded women.  I have never [...]
