If you guessed “No, Seriously, What About Teh Menz?, a blog that currently consists of a blogroll, a picture of some dew on a grass stem and the brand-new Nazi-free edition of Who Cares About Men’s Rights? but in the future shall contain feminist thought about misandry, anti-male sexism, and all that good stuff,” then they should probably hire you to do one of those psychic shows or something, because that was good.
Nope. My housemate had plants (mostly bromeliads) befoe we met, but when we met, and I zonked her into acquiring cats (she’d never had cats), and then we moved in together with MOAR cats, the plants……did not survive. We were working with an animal rescue group, and ended up with 13 indoor cats and four outdoor dogs at the height of it all (we’re down to 7 cats, 2 dogs).
We decided that one could have either cats OR indoor plants, either cats OR good furniture.
I’m about to see the third opera in Wagner’s Ring Cycle – Sigfried. At the opera house now. Power classical! Sunday we see Gotterdamerung. Mostly I hate opera but… Wagner!
I’ve started the Chronicles of Chrestomanci series today. It’s really good. I will never get over how human Diana Wynne Jones’s characters are. Their fallibility makes them feel like people, you know?
Thank you, David. I’m on the blogroll twice! I feel loved.

Hey, where do I lodge a complaint?
Dan Savage is not an antidote to Boobery. He is a Boob.
I mean … I don’t care. I read him occasionally. I think he does a lot of good work — when he’s not being transphobic, fatphobic, or misogynistic. I like the It Gets Better project. I like the redefining of the word santorum. I guess I just wanted to point out that he’s a bit problematic.
Imma go back to lovingly working on my toenails now. Oh boy, is Subby missing out! TOEJAM!

Victoria, yummy! I have a little sake set that I got as a gift a while back and has mostly just been gathering dust in the back of the cabinet but you’ve inspired me to use it now. I don’t have any sake but vodka should do.

Dire Sloth – I couldn’t get all the way through that, seems to me it was essentially “I love my children so much I refuse to be pushed around into paying for them, because I am SO ANGRY at the system for daring to tell me not to hit them and/or arresting me for domestic violence” not dissimilar to “I will kill myself so that bitch will REALLY be sorry she divorced me!”

Since it’s an open thread–does anyone know how NOT to share your itunes library with people in surrounding areas? And how you can lock remote access to your computer? I live in an apartment complex and just realized that I’m sharing the itunes library of someone I work with, which means that mine is visible, too. As a technophobe I may be missing an obvious solution…my computer can access wi-fi but I’m using ethernet and don’t understand why other people can view what’s on my computer. This sounds neurotic, I know, but it’s freaking me out.

I just farted.
Hey guys? Guess what’s gone live today?

Oh my God, so much love for the Louis Wain portrait. As crazy artists go he was always my favorite.
Incidentally, has anyone heard of this?

Surprised I haven’t heard an article on this site about it yet.
Do you need a sports columnist? xD Or a sprots columnist? :3 I can do either xD
a little old-fashioned blog-whoring, and a LOT of professional pimping:
project just finished, on a blog that is not long for this world, as I figure out how to migrate to another platform, and whether I care enough to….
So does anyone have plants to clean their homes’ air?

No, we have a dog. Plants could never keep up.
Re: plants and home’s air.
Nope. My housemate had plants (mostly bromeliads) befoe we met, but when we met, and I zonked her into acquiring cats (she’d never had cats), and then we moved in together with MOAR cats, the plants……did not survive.

We had cats.
What was your most recent fun book?
Mine was Oscar Wilde and the Vampire Murders which had I kid you not Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle solving Mysterious Murderse.
Gyles Brandeth is the author.
V fun especially if you are a Sherlock Holmes and Oscar Wilde Fan.
Doyle and Wilde had the same publisher and did know each other!!11!
Ozy, congrats on the new blog! I will put it in the Antidotes to Boobery list in the sidebar, which I finally got around to putting up today.
Zombie, very nice, too bad it’s in Wisconsin.
MRAL,congratulations on your accomplishment as well.
Louis Wain! One of my favorite crazy guys! And I have a lot of favorite crazy guys.
Zombie, very nice, too bad it’s in Wisconsin.
EVERYTHING NWOSLAVER SAYS ABOUT YOU IS TRUE.
I’m about to see the third opera in Wagner’s Ring Cycle – Sigfried. At the opera house now. Power classical! Sunday we see Gotterdamerung. Mostly I hate opera but… Wagner!
Hey Zombie, I know a little bit about moving to different blogging platforms. Once you’ve recovered, I might be able to help you pick a new one. 🙂
Ithiliana, I was just thinking I need some new books to read. I think that one might be the first one on my list!
One of my favorite bloggers is playing agony aunt to the denizens of Tumblr today. She’s getting some really heavy questions and answering them in a beautiful way.
I’m drinking cold Nigiri sake right now, out of tiny new sake cups I got at the Japanese market down the street for 99 cents each.
It is delicious.
I wonder what it would be like if I sliced up fresh strawberries and steeped them in sake for a month or so.
I’ve started the Chronicles of Chrestomanci series today. It’s really good. I will never get over how human Diana Wynne Jones’s characters are. Their fallibility makes them feel like people, you know?

I wish I could add a feel-good book to the list, but the only thing I’ve been reading lately is Octavia Butler. 😛
Ozy: *applauds you and the others who semi-accidentally banded together to go where few feminists have gone before*
Crap, I’m so behind! Gotta remember to refresh before posting.
Bee, couldn’t agree more about Savage. He can really rub me the wrong way.
We got a new kitteh tonight! We rescued her from my boss, who is not smart.
