Rush job

Quickly because I am swamped:

I'm more upset that LJ is being sold again than I am it being owned by somebody in Russia. How many more acquisitions before LJ folds completely? I very much regret purchasing a permanent account, back in the Golden Years.

The phrase "the male gaze" really really really fucking irritates the shit out of me. Because only men view only women as sexual objects on occasion? And when they do, it's always bad? Give me a break. And then, for god's sake, go get laid by someone who knows what they're doing, because your S.O. or vibrator obviously aren't doing something correctly.

I shall never purchase anything more expensive than a spool of blank CDs from Office Depot. They suck sweaty, hairy donkey balls.

How can an entire office be completely out of transparent tape? The front desk secretary had a roll stashed in her desk. Thank gods.

bestill is an amazing teacher--I had a private lesson Saturday on making art journal pages. I'm completely hooked. I want to start a new hobby now. It's beyond awesome.

I bought some amazing lime green fringe for a bellydance costume. anerys will be seduced to the Dark Side of cabaret-style costuming if it kills me.

The fact that it is December 3 terrifies me. 1.) I have less than two weeks to get all my ducks in a row for the trek to Indy. I really have stop procrastinating on getting Daddy's present done. 2.) The deadline for grad applications is less than a month away.

On the other hand, the solstice is within hollering distance from here. Hooray for the return of the light.
