Haiku for you

Leaves fall, lights dim, mice
die. Why try when I know No-
vember brings failure?

A swatch of sky and
rain. How you throw dirt over
a sinking feeling!

The sun, a magic
number, arbitrarily
looms in the distance...

The clock is ticking,
wasting time, what harvest will
I reap? How foolish!

It's dark, where am I,
how did I come to be here?
Don't know. Will I stay?

Little girls grow up

This weekend, my BFF finally made an honest man out of her BF. Two weeks ago, she was here for final preparations, and it happened to come out that I tend to cry at weddings. This simple fact caused so much uproar and incredulity, that I was partially offended: why is it so surprising? Is it because I'm such a heartless bi-atch that I am dead inside and nothing gets to me? To show all the people out there who believe that I have no soul, I dedicate this entire post to the wedding. Here we have the beautiful bride-to-be in her gorgeous hotel suite (bigger than her actual living quarters), sporting bridal bunny ears provided by the mother-in-law to be. We had a small gathering of 2 mother hens, 2 regular hens, some little chickens, and 1 gay guy in the hotel the night before - champagne flowed and dirty jokes were made. Right after, I spent the night in bed with the bride, and we spasmed together all night long. Actually, I spasmed - apparently, I have seizures in my sleep - hence, t...

Belated outrage

http://crooksandliars.com/logan-murphy/ohio-republican-re-introduces-bill-gi So, a pro life Republican lawmaker wants to re-introduce a bill which would make abortion impossible unless written permission slips from both parents are signed. There is so much wrong with this, I don't even know where to start. I think I'll start with the point of view of a pro-choice woman. I am not a feminist, not really, not in the classic sense of the word. However, by this age, I can recognize when rights are being granted and then taken away. So, by telling a woman that yes, she has the right to choose - but only if a man agrees, and signs a paper - is patronizing, offensive and incongruent. Plus, I'd like to point out the blind assumption that every woman who is pregnant out there has a man whose permission she has the chance to obtain; this implies horrendous stigma, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not even talking about special cases, like rape or incest, although it's wor...

Gogah, maker of his own destiny

My parents finally have managed to end up living in an idyllic private world. This urban idyll received the finishing touch when they obtained a cat. Actually, the cat obtained them , if you really examine the situation. One day, I came around, and saw a pathetic looking skinny kitty hanging out on their back porch. They said, it had been coming around, it must be lost - but they felt bad for it, and although they didn't allow it to set foot in the house, they started feeding it. "Make the cat a hotdog!" said dad. (mom makes hot dog) "Cut it into smaller pieces!" (mom cuts it into smaller pieces) "Cool it in the fridge!" (mom cools it) "Take outside for the cat!" (mom places little bowl outside) "Keep watch so that the neighbor's bully grey cat doesn't take it away!" (mom patiently keeps watch from the back porch). Pictures were taken and adds about found kitty were placed all over the neighborhood. Two guys, Benjamin...
