i quit Idol

Why do I watch this fucking circus?
OK. David Cook: Very cute. Pretty talented. But for the love of pop music, WTF is a dude who cultivates the indie rocker vibe doing on this show? Meh. Chris Daughtry, blah blahdee blah blah. So, in vintage Daughtry fashion last night, he rode high on the “brave reinterpretation” of a song [...]

more on ‘Bitch’

Elizabeth, am I seriously squandering precious babysitter time reading a book on feminism that has a page long diatribe on lipstick and nail polish shades? Are you fucking kidding me? I’m bored and annoyed, and I do not understand why your book isn’t called “Slut.”
It might be significant fashion-wise that the early 90’s saw a resurgence [...]

david cook rocks my socks

Dude, I actually voted. I have never voted. But a sweet emo-ish guitar version of Lionel Ritchie’s “Hello”? It was too good.

i have to get something off my chest

It’s a twenty pound toddler girl child who is driving me fucking insane. The night weaning? It’s over. I royally screwed up last week when she went through the 2 a.m. wake up and play spell, then with the flu… Someone tell me what the hell I was thinking? I am the poster child for [...]

House spoiler after le jump: 

one hundred ninety and a weight loss rant

I just weighed in, and found that I’m ten pounds lighter than my weight when we conceived and after my giant-blimp-water-retention-borderline-pre-eclampsia weight dropped.
Oh my Goddess the squee!
I’d set a goal of losing 20 pounds before my clinic’s big fundraiser gala on February 24th. So I’m halfway there and honestly, if I went crazy and dieted and junk [...]

um… ew

House Spoiler:

fungus

I just opened a jar of salsa, thinking, “Salsa’s well preserved with salty spicy goodness-it doesn’t go bad, does it?” and a small, audible poof of mold came out. I saw a flash of me as the teaser scene of an episode of House. He’d send whoever on his team is Bitch that day to go [...]

girl crushes + fangirl + feminism

So I just discovered Pink Ray Gun, via Feministing. The fangirl feminists of the world are pissed. Playboy has a chick on the cover this month naked with the Wonder Woman costume painted on her. OK, there are myriad issues of power at play here, but how am I supposed to process all that when [...]
