boring boring boring

Symptom: boring. I could sound so boring if I wanted to. I've been finishing all my correspondence on time, going to bed before midnight, waking early, sweating a lot on purpose, and eating right. I've begun teacher training at this lovely studio. I've been telling my ducks to get in a row and they've been listening. Maybe it means nothing. Maybe it means I choose life, in the non-oppressive way.

Yesterday's yesterday, 23rd January, was mindtroll's first birthday. Can you believe it? For one year I have been oppressing people with links about brain-exploding concerts. A human child at one year is nigh useless; a troll at one year is world-dominating. That's the difference.

If you've grown very bored by now, please read this definition at urbandictionary.com -- nestled there, comfortably between "dolterguiest" (sic) and "dolthead" is the terrible brainbaby that I've begun to use for all over town to mean "general fail." Geez, I just realized I've used three baby-related metaphors in this post. But I'm not going to self-edit now!!!!

glitter pubes and other fascinating depictions

Annnnnd now let's talk about this! A music video about women's pubic hair. The song is catchy enough, though a little fluffy (HAHAHA I KNOW WHAT I SAID); however, it is the video that really makes it.



In college I was in a pretty excruciating production of the Vagina Monologues. (Don't get me wrong here. I kind of love the story of the play itself, and how it came to be, but during this particular production the director repeatedly played Meredith Brooks' "Bitch" as a way to motivate us backstage and it made me cringe more than silence would have.) Anyhow, my monologue was "Hair," the one about pubes (find it here, it's a couple paragraphs down). Every now and again I think of it, and wonder why people are so squeamish about this topic.

Also! If Americans weren't so globally disinterested, we wouldn't have had to wait this long for an awesome euphemism.

awesome horrifying friday

Tomorrow I am going to be here: A Day In The Life -- the purpose of the project is to highlight examples of gender/sex based issue we encounter in daily life and feel like commenting on. I am blogging for January 14th but will post tomorrow.

Not super much to say otherwise, so for now, here's a terrifying Whitney Houston impersonator to help you start the weekend right!!!!
