I’m currently eating a 340-calorie bag of flamin’ hot cheetos. My too-much-wine-last-night headache finally goes away, so I reward myself by asking for severe stomach pain all night. I am gross.

Tomorrow: New gym membership, tofu/kale, kombucha and NEW MOON. Tyler’s review was pretty convincing, but I must see it for myself.

Happy, Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins

They warn you about killers and thieves in night
I worry about cancer and living right
But my mama never warned me about my own
Destructive appetite

oh yes.

“But your screamfest Saturday at Oak Lawn Community High School exposed you as nothing more than a small but vocal gang of disgruntled white suburbanites who are ticked off at … well, appear to be ticked off at just about everything.”

Ok, so my sister found these photos of my brother and I when we were little, and I feel the need to share. I’m mostly impressed with my lesbian haircut and the Comiskey Park photos. Sox fan for life.

Guess who is bringing the lady to her conservative father’s Thanksgiving dinner? Me! He didn’t even put up a fight. This will surely be an adventure.

“Did you know that the Bible doesn’t say anything about gay marriage, but it totally says something that has been interpreted for centuries to be anti-masturbation? And don’t even get us into all the stuff about the stoning of harlots or whatevs — not that all that’s not stupid too, but hey, it’s your book. It’s time for somebody, maybe one of your ‘gay friends’ (hee!), to get all Oprah on your ass. Think about it: American popular culture loves a redemption story. Just change your official stance on marriage rights and, why, you’ll be embraced as one who has come over from the dark side! You’ll probably even get a cameo on Glee! This is really your only option now, because while we’re sure we could look on Facebook and find a few willfully ignorant old Pentacostal summer camp pals who still stand by you on flimsy ‘violation of privacy’ grounds, for the most part, dear, it’s time to surrender your crown as national joke and give some other young lady a chance. No offense!”

We made this for dinner last night. BBQ tempeh with slaw, garlic mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts.

YUM.

Seriously, Becky’s recipes RULE.

“

I’m a sucker for revolution. No, not a sucker. I’m a disciple. I want it. I want to tear down the goddamn master’s house. I live to bring down the patriarchy, to knock down the man and pry the boot off the neck of women toiling away, ignoring their own oppression in order to survive from day to day. Sure, sure, sometimes I sound a little like Valerie Solanas on meth. Sometimes I’m fervent, foaming at the mouth, screaming, crying and talking about a revolution in a world that’s mostly decided all that work is a bunch of bullshit. I bet I even seem irrelevant, angry, man-hating and retro to a whole generation of girls younger than me.

Funny, though. I might be a pissed-off feminist but I make my living writing and talking about sex. I like to think I put the femme in feminist. I’ve written books with titles so post-post feminist you’d think they were penned by a frat boy, (Box Lunch anyone? Yes, I really wrote that book.) And I can’t for the life of me figure out why every woman on this planet doesn’t feel the same way I do. Let’s let go of those outdated stereotypes. Be whoever the fuck you are, and run your mouth about your rights even while you’re teetering on vertiginous stilettos. That’s what I do, and fuck anyone who cares.

My worst nightmare.

I may not have had that many at once, but I’m pretty sure I’ve paid at least 43 Chicago parking tickets over the last nine years or so.

“The point is that the takeover of the Republican Party by the irrational right is no laughing matter. Something unprecedented is happening here — and it’s very bad for America.”

so very horrifying…
