Bits and pieces
Dec. 29th, 2011 08:57 amNormally, Jezebel drives me bugfuck insane. I just...I just can't with them, 90% of the time. This article, though? This article is the shit. It is, in fact, the shit while being utter and complete bullshit. A powerful one-two punch that'll hit any feminist or progressive person right in the--well, where it counts.
All in all, more than half of the BBC's "Faces of the Year: Women" are rape victims, princesses and thereabouts, or bears.
Nice.
Why did I never think about doing this exact thing until after I discovered my gluten issues. You guys this universe fucking sucks.
I need to stop making Sinfest-related icons. I think I have nearly as many Sinfest icons as I do actual icons of me. But the last panel of today's comic? Come. On.
This is a little late for xmas, and I know most everybody's seen it already, but it still makes me laugh out loud. Or at least snort out loud.
Okay, I really gotta get back to work, now, but damn. I'm about to short out, here, and it's not even nine o'clock. I'm learning/making up a new system for processing the applications again--I know, I did this last year, too, and will probably do it all over again next year until KU has a stable system in place for electronic applications. Which, yeah, ha ha, right? But I'm hoping we've got at least a standard set for the 2014 application cycle. Sweet Mary Mother of God. 2014. Anyway, this business of migrating everything over to the new system step-by-step is necessary, but god it's exhausting and time consuming because I can't establish a rhythm or get into a groove. Difficult to explain, but this sort of thing is really hard for someone who takes a long time to establish neural pathways and then has a difficult time letting them go.
Some day I should write a post about the way I learn things and why I've never considered myself very intelligent, although I am very wise and clever/quick-witted. And yes, I am totally using a Dungeons & Dragons metaphor to describe myself. What.
