My house is fairly clean.

After being in three separate cities across two time zones this past week though, I don’t really want to go hang out.

But now I am listening to this!

And watching this!

This is at a wedding dinner (see the “double happiness” in the background?)

ai wantz lion dance at mai wedding!

The Southern lions, not the nasty shaggy yellow-and-orange northern ones.
I’ve always loved the waggy tails.

And pole-dancing with lions is so much cooler than with nekkid grrls.

Here’s a bonus lion dance for the diaspora:

Okay, minor rant time.

So, I was sitting down in front of the idiot box with my breakfast. I tuned into CMT hoping that they would play something worth watching. After a couple of songs I almost dropped my plate.

The new Toby Keith video was being spun. I almost like his new song, shocking since I haven’t liked anything he’s done in about 5 years, so I left it on. The man has nerve; I’ll give him that.

If you haven’t heard the song it’s called “Love me if you can”. I’d quote lyrics but I’m too nauseous to think about it. What made me want to bow to the porcelain Goddess?

TK carrying a guitar case with a peace symbol on it. WTF?

Hey Toby didn’t you say that putting a boot in their ass was the American way?

I lost my appetite at the sheer hypocrisy. I don’t know why I’m surprised. Actually, I’m not surprised. I’m offended. If I was from OK I might be ashamed that he is from OK. Since I’m not, I’ll just say that his claim of being American doesn’t fill me with shame.

It makes me ill.

A thought occurred to me that took my breath away in its obviousness.

Picture the following.

In the established fashion, a young bride gets married, and at the end of the evening gets taken upstairs, gets undressed, has sex with her husband and is penetrated for the first time. She loses her hymen, and bleeds a little as evidence of her virginal state. (So picturesque. I could snark a great deal about this established imagery, but that’s for another day.)

And I can’t believe that this has never come up in conversation (or even my own musings) before, but wtf happens if the girl is having her period?

I mean, a girl having a period is not an unusual occurrence. Aunt Flo comes to visit anywhere from half a week to a week, every month. I’m estimating that anywhere up to 25% of women would have their periods on their big wedding night. That’s a pretty significant number.

And this realization leads to more musings.

(1) The wearing of the white bridal dress - how do they manage to not stain it? (at least not in any documentation I’ve encountered)
(2) Do (or did) women attempt to schedule their wedding date in order to “escape” their monthly?

Entering the keywords “menstrual wedding” into Google brings up about 638,000 hits.
Per Wikipedia, the bride and groom in an Orthodox Jewish marriage are required to have knowledge of the menstrual Niddah laws prior to the wedding.

Whau.

I guess the answer, for one of the questions at least, is - yes.

She takes after her Aunt.

So I tried on my new swimsuit tonight. It fit pretty well and I don’t look like a beached whale. So I asked Meg if she would be embarrassed if I went to the public pool with her.

Her answer: Only if you talk to me.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

G wrote about the 100 words the editors of the American Heritage dictionaries would have us all know, in order to pronounce us worthy of the label of “probably (having) a good command of the English Language”.

I say a big loud PllllllBBBBBbbbbttttTTTT.

AAG writes a wonderful post about grammar and spelling in courtship communications.

If we can’t teach our high school graduates spelling and grammar (as evidenced by the painfully-widespread confusion of “your” with “you’re”), forget any “enervating, vehement, supercilious and fatuous lugubriousness” about the vocabulary of the general population. The real issue lies elsewhere.

Face it. If you display a persistent tendency of being unable to spell and punctuate, the IQ of your Internet persona as perceived by your readers is going to tank.

It stemmed from meeting a musician and his wife this weekend. TheGuy is (as far as I can tell) good friends with the musician - we had them over to hang out for a bit after the performance was done with.

And reflecting on the weekend, it hit me between the eyes, that of all the dudes TheGuy was friends with, this was Wife 1 of 4 who was actually interesting.

I’m referring to the phenomenon where, if the guys are buddies, then the females usually end up being thrown together. Fine. But also keep in mind - if the wives aren’t interesting, I’m going to be bored.

i getz mischeevuz if i bordz.

I am kind. I play along and am nice, keeping in mind that to my mind, “nice” is the ultimate mediocrity. (”Nice” is what you say when there’s nothing better.) But I can only keep up the façade for so long.

I’m not a wife-babysitter. I expect intelligent conversation. Otherwise I’d rather not say a word or participate in the guys’ conversation. Or heaven forbid, take the time to catch up with a friend on my cellphone (I haven’t pulled that one yet).

And I am no longer abashed by my impatience.

This is cute as hell. In so many ways.

Straight guy (who has just had his world turned upside-down): “OMG she wants to see me wearing THAT? But that’s so gay! I don’t have a body like that! Dayamm he’s got a big cock.”

Whew. In a straight world, instead of hundreds of schoolboys jerking off to Victoria’s Secret catalogues, we’ll now have hundreds of schoolgirls doing likewise with Vizeau. Dare I hope?

It turns the whole idea of female keep-your-tight-firm-body enticement around and plunks it on its head. “Oh honey, I’ll wear the Fuck Me stockings if you put Sean on.”

It’s about time.

I dreamt I was sprawled on my tummy in bed, pillowed and naked but for a sheet. He was still dressed, but he settled in next to me because he knew that even while tired and half-asleep, I’d find his warmth comforting.

He was our resident geek-god. Young, taking time off from a physics degree to work, and quite quite brilliant with digital imaging techniques. A redhead, clean-shaven cute in that geeky sort of way. A younger me would totally date him. Dead serious, but he’d crack a smile when you got through to him. And he always had interesting desktop wallpaper.

I like geeks.

As a commenter on a sexblog remarked, “Geek boys tend to be both nice and very kinky. Go after the geeks, I always say. Computer guys, alt-comic book fans, news junkies, music geeks, sci-fi fans… Can’t go wrong. They’ll treat ya nice and kink ya right. To sum up… basically any guy who doesn’t play sports is a good bet.”

I couldn’t agree more.

As he turned to me, he slipped the sheet off my shoulder and his fingers found that sensitive dip between my shoulder and neck. Half-aroused, I shuddered and was still. He half-smiled, growled in my ear.

“You are making me so hard for you…”

Pressed up against me, I knew he wasn’t lying.

At which point the alarm clock went off.

Sophomore Megan Chase at Woodlan Junior-Senior High School wrote an editorial titled Sophomore’s view of gays: Not a choice for the school newspaper, The Tomahawk. Apparently it caused quite a stink. The principal told the newspaper staff and adviser that he must review the contents before publishing.

I was astonished to find out that the controversy in this story isn’t the content of the editorial but the fact that it was not shown to the principle of the school for approval before publication. If you read it (and you should) Miss Chase’s point is about tolerance, something that lacks in way too many people. *insert sarcasm* Oh, the horrors.

Here is a link to some local reaction. Not all of it is positive though I would say over all she made her point well.

Side Note
To: Michael Rice of Huntington

Being gay is not a disease thus no one is working on a cure. A disease takes life or makes life more difficult. I believe that it’s no harder to be gay than it is to be hetro. Well except for the homophobia thing. So if the only hard part of being gay is homophobia then I suppose we should be working on a cure for it.

Back to my point. I have an unpopular opinion on this I think. I do think the principle has the right to check the content of the paper before an edition is published. He should be allowed to make sure that the articles pertain to topics relevant to the school.

He also should have had the opportunity to counsel Chase on the fact that she could get crapped on for her opinion. That’s the crux of the whole story. It was her opinion. It was an editorial. Isn’t she allowed to express her opinion?

It’s been said that because they published this article they would also have to publish on written on the opposing viewpoint. I agree. Anyone want to step up to the plate and defend being intolerant?

The principle has said that it was not the content of the story that bothered him. It was that he was not shown before hand. Now I don’t know the man but I have a feeling that he wouldn’t have allowed the story to be published. I believe that he would have told her to write another article on tolerance, maybe using race as a platform. That would be a good article too but she sees the problem at her school as being homophobia not racism.

Kudos to Megan Chase for having the nerve to point it out. Raspberries to those who think she should be censored for her opinion.

Yahoo is reporting that Book 7 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (whatever that means) will hit the book stores on July 21, 2007.

The 5th movie is due out on the 13th of July.

I promised I’d wait for someone who shall not be named to get her arse back in this states for the movie. Can’t do the same for the book.

Here’s to hoping we need a spell to lift the book.

“I am sick of the opposition trying to make me choose between being sexual and serious; and I am sick of being split the same way by victim feminism. I want to be a serious thinker and not have to hide the fact that I have breasts; I want female sexuality to accompany, rather than undermine, female political power.”

- Naomi Wolf

Bang!

Wow.

Growing up, I fell into the trap of thinking of sexiness and smartness as polar opposites.

It’s not a question of “Smart is Sexy” (which I perceived to have a however slight overtone of defensiveness: that Smart was generally regarded as Not Sexy and therefore needed a fan base of its own).

My argument is that smart and sexy can (should!) co-exist, without having to make or substitute for one another.

The difference is akin to saying two people are two halves of a whole, versus that they are individuals in their own right, and have found that they are better together.
