My home is broken
The internet is out.   The plumbing is out.    Since my plan for my winter vacation is to build a facebook game play Star Wars:  The Old Republic, I’m actually not sure which I’m more sad about right now.

BOMB YOUR BIRTH CONTROL: I've been losing sleep at... →
bombyourbirthcontrol: Have you? So in the past year, there have been a number of surprising studies that have gotten high profile media coverage about the birth control. You’ve seen them, I’ve seen them. Study: Birth Control Use Affects Smell (ABC News) Birth Control Pill Affects Women’s Taste In Men … Hi friends.   I decided I’m embarking on an experiment in 2012.  ...

smut & eggs: Because yes. →
smutandeggs: It’s been a long time tumblr. Long time indeed. Life is moving fast for me, but not quite fast enough. I’ve been desperately seeking theater work, but the theater scene in Madison does not move very fast. I’m sort of doing dramaturgy work on two plays, but those plays won’t even be going into… OMG THE IDEA OF A SINGLENESS ANNIVERSARY NEVER OCCURRED TO ME!   I am like,...

You know when Jessica Simpson does the National Anthem?  And she does that thing where she — (my mom makes warbaling screaming noises and coughs) — and SHE RUINS IT?  That’s what this is like.   My Mom, on my version of Deck the Halls

Question for my DIY friends out there....
Does anyone know a way to take a brand new, cheap t-shirt, and wreck it so it has that old t-shirt broken in feel? I have a couple of t-shirts with logos on them I’d love to not feel like complete shit against my skin.  I’ve got a lot of time between now and the new year, and I have a washer/dryer in my house.

Lost my reboot version to the Tumblr app...
But atheism. I find there are few things I want to discuss LESS than religion - its part of the point of being an atheist for me. I’ve been pretty surprised/bewildered by the atheist communities and conferences that have been popping up and gaining attention in the last few years. I find it terribly odd that the path away from traditional beliefs for many involves recreating the...

At 2:30am last night....
…being sober and only drunk on my sense of responsibility (and partial exhaustion), when the overcrowded car I was driving demanded we stop for tacos, I tried to be very forward thinking and bought not one, but FOUR tameles so breakfast today would be covered. It’s Saturday, I’m finally awake, I’m not at all hungover, and the only food in my house is leftover tamales.

I know it’s past midnight. I know it’s a weeknight. But sometimes, Music starts playing in my head and I have to get it out - recording it, putting it onto paper, something. So I was plucking some notes on my ukulele trying to make a demo real quick and my neighbor complained. Like, people have sex and stuff at night, right? And that’s way louder than a ukulele,...

Where a guy contacted factories in China worldwide and asked them to produce a defective version of their products?   It’s wonderful.

I hate your kids
nirak: iena: lastyearsfad: They just gave like decent advice about forcing small talk, but making it genuine. “Ask people about their kids!” Ugh, fuck. That’s when you follow up about your cat, right? Am I doing it right? And then follow it up with a discussion on religion and politics.  I am bad at small talk. I blame the internet.  This is one of those cultural things that makes...

Women Networking Lunch - the panel
Actual quotes: “My first job is that I’m a mom, and I have three kids - my son, my daughter, and my husband.” If I said my first job is that I’m a classical musician….

Also, actually part of my day:
This is an email someone I used to play music with sent to the musicians alias at work - emphasis mine: Well its cover for the beginning to get into shape. I have to admit that the drum parts take me a while to work up. The other obvious covers are some songs off of Death’s Human, perhaps some early Napalm Death, but this band will also do a little Rush, some pop/punk music (probably Sugar and...
