January 2012
Finished writing a chapter. I should pack up my shit and head to work.
The android app needs to let me answer asks privately.
I have successfully put on pants. Going to go get food any minute now.
I should probably eat something today, right?
THAI FOOD?
I'm doing some editing for work.
You know, I never thought I’d need to research how the labia works, but I do now.
Can someone airlift me a copy of the Chicago...
Whoa, that’s a really fugly update for the Android OS. It all but has sparkles and glitter.
Android: There are updates! You should update me! You should use a wi-fi connection and update me.
Me: Okay, I'm trying to connect to the network so I can do that.
Android: Okay, you can manually check for updates when you're ready.
Me: I'll do that.
...
Me: Okay, I'm connected to the intertubes, why are you saying there are no updates to install? You just said--
Android: Because I've hated you for years.
Sounds like there's been drama.
I am both shocked and appalled.
Ubermichael does a passable impression of Andrew Scott as Moriarty and it’s freaking me out.
It’s not so much the idea of close platonic male-male friendships (or female-female or some variation therein of either—Leslie & Anne forever!), it’s more the framing of every relationship as jokingly sexual, like queer behaviour is to be teased and nothing more.

Re: your tag. Have you read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay? You just… reminded me of that.
It’s a great book! For obvious reasons it hits a lot of buttons for me (I’ve even read some of the Escapist comics that were made as a result of it), although I may love The Yiddish...

novazembla replied to your post: SHERLOCK may actually be one of the few things where the constant gay jokes don’t irritate me.
I love the line in the response to that post, that “‘confirmed bachelor’ has always meant what John’s afraid it means.”
I find it fascinating when people are so blindly unaware that there have always been certain affectations, behaviours and signals that were...

Like, if you can’t handle the idea that Watson’s womanizing might be at least partially influenced by some queer panic on his part because people keep making assumptions about his relationship with Holmes, thereby adding some dimension to his character, I can’t fucking help you.

I don’t know what’s worse: that some people are under the impression that there is a singular, definitive reading to each and every text in existence, or that they can’t grasp that postmodernism happened and old texts and source materials can be taken and re-examined, remixed, and reworked to tell new stories or integrate new ideas into them without destroying the original text....
I would just absolutely die without caps lock.
Had to teach my Android phone how to spell "clit."
WHEN WILL ITS PUBERTY BEGIN? THE NEXT OS UPDATE?

Justice League Dark.
Zatanna kissing Shade the Changing Man probably hits pretty close to home for me, you know?
Well, this is already a novel day. I should get my shit together and walk across town now to work. Or I could just give up and take the bus.
Needless to say, this particular attitude doesn’t bode well given the number of meetings I have this afternoon.

Some people are just such dicks.
This is already the kind of morning that only Nina Simone’s rendition of “Pirate Jenny” can save.
Also, Mum likes to “remind” me during every phone conversation that I must always remember that I can’t change anyone outside of myself and I have to just let things go and surely she must understand that her not being anything like that while I was growing up has resulted in me saying That’s hippie nonsense! in my head every time she says it.
Like, at some point I became...
Also, every conversation I have with my mother features at least five minutes where she abruptly goes off about the horrible damage that aspartame does to one’s body. I’m never quite sure how she manages to segue to it.

My mother hasn’t met a loud, clanging household task that she wouldn’t do while talking to me on the phone, switching between handset and speaker-phone at random.

All of the vampire stuff was SO BORING that I just sort of stopped watching. I JUST WANT CUTE HUGGING WEREWOLF TIME
This is the most accurate description of my reaction ever. I was so disappointed to learn it wasn’t going to be British Scrubs with Monsters.

Dear Ladies,
The penis is the male G-spot. You’re welcome.
Sincerely,

Dear straight dudes,
Yeah it feels good, but it’s not quite the male G-spot. Keep looking.
Sincerely,
Jakke
I want someone to do a cover of the Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb” as “Puh-puh-puh-prostate.”
With regard to the discussion on my dashboard today about whether or not people want to date academics, can I just say, “What the actual fuck?”

A friend on Facebook was complaining about how the phonebook continues to be delivered even though nobody she knows uses a phonebook; I responded by googling for ten actual seconds to find a place on the Yellow Pages site to opt out of the service (she thanked me for doing so). Then two of her friends responded—one to ask but surely there’s an opt-out option somewhere and the other to...
