Some days
can you tell I’m kind of irritated?
Today’s Google Doodle celebrates Richard Scarry’s 92nd birthday
LOVE Richard Scarry!!! I grew up on these books. And am making damn sure they make the rounds in my kids reading rooster. :)
I was happy with Google’s page today, as well. Obviously I have no kids, but I promoted the books to my parents as something to buy my cousin’s kid.
Someone remind me next year that the Renaissance Festival is just grating and makes me super uncomfortable, and thus not at all fun and I shouldn’t go. All they do is just keep throwing people’s gender up in their face.
Oh and have jousts and stuff too. They have that, too.

ghoaskghi osmghio iaksh indeed. I should shut up and write instead. I’m slightly better at that.
either an adorable kitten in a shoe, or a horrifying science experiment. YOU decide!
I wrote a long post that was far too personal, and possibly whiny, so I deleted it. Long story short, it was just about how I wished I had more anonymity on the internet. Or less Facebook ‘friends.’ Or something. And blabity blabity blah on and on about how I’m sick of keeping everything inside because of other people watching.
Because I’ll blame it on the other people. It’s not me. Oh no, it’s not my choice, my decision, at all. Of course, I have reasons for not just airing everything I want on Facebook or whatever. Far too open, and I don’t want the world to know.
But if I want to call people my friends, shouldn’t they know at least a little about me? I don’t know. I’ve never really had many friends in my life. Not the kind you share things with, anyway.
I have to consider things. For a long, long time. Too long, in some cases. I have to consider this.
Gender Stereotyping in Toy Ads -
in spite of the prominence of the word ‘fun’ in the girl toys, I am having trouble seeing what is so fun about glitter hair style. Whereas battle power sounds badass.
• From “The Waitress is Getting Married” (Season 5):
Charlie ponders what to do with a wasps’ nest he discovered.
Charlie: Do wasps make honey?
Dennis: No, wasps do not make honey.
Charlie: All right, well, I’m gonna check it out anyway; there could be something delicious in here that wasps do make, and I want that.
I fucking loathe wasps. It’s a hatred that runs so deep I am unable to even describe it. Fuck wasps.
