Nothing Inspires Ranting Like Pseudo-Feminism

Sexuality is usually one of those areas that doesn't really work up a lot of mouth-frothing from me.  I'm pretty much a live and let live kind of gal when it comes to what people do between the sheets (or wherever you do your business).  There is, however, one exception--columnists.  I am not a fan of someone writing an article that influences attitudes, when that article...well.  Sucks.

Case in point: an article over on The Frisky by John Devore(their "Mind of Man" columnist) entitled "The Number One Sex Tip to Drive Him Wild".  That Number One Tip?  Touch his dick.  Yeah, "har har har" am I right?  His article is comprised of roughly three points:

Look, I know.  I KNOW.  I've been absolutely ghastly with my updates of late and there is no good excuse.  Well, actually, I've got a whole bucketful of excuses, I'm just not sure any of them are good.

 

The long and the short of it is that I've taken on too many projects and life-tweaks of late and not enough of them work well in blog format, so my site has been knocked way down on my priority list.  What I need to do is figure out a way to make some of my recent work link up to this site and finally get off of my figurative ass as it pertains to my writing.  I just haven't been feeling it of late.  I've been doing more gardening and jewellery making, which apparently sucks up all the need for a creative outlet, I guess.  

 

But!  No more excuses--there will be new content up on a more regular basis or my name isn't Tom Dinglemeyer Schmitline.  I have some SS365 blogs that still need to be moved over, some new recipes, and I'll get to work on some new journal posts just as soon as I knock out a couple of academic projects.  Apologies, apologies, and double apologies for not at least having a good story to cover my poor performance.  I'll work on that, too. 

 

Oh, and on the geekery side of things:  I've removed the Twitter feed in an attempt to stop this slow-loading problem that has been plaguing the front page.  Honestly, of late, I've been doing less 'static' tweeting, so it's just where all the updated links for new material goes anyway, which...if you're here, you probably already know what's new.  Except for the Etsy stuff--follow me on Twitter if you want to know when new jewellery is being listed.  You can follow me on Twitter here.  Alternately, you can RSS my Etsy feed here

 

I am also just now remembering that I never got around to fixing the stupid broken Login box (remember how it used to be a pretty compact slider that combined all the registered users' links in one convenient place?  yeah, I almost can't either), so I'll take a look at that as soon as I can. 

 

I'm on it, peeps.  I'm on it.

Yes, you have kids. I got that memo.

 

I had a dream the other night wherein I had nine babies. Let me clarify--I had nine babies at one time. As in nonuplets. Funnily enough, though, my main concern was their names. I sent my friends off to name the little blighters while I did some paperwork (I recovered really quickly--I'm tough) and when I got back, I was horrified to discover that they had named one of the girls Jessica. We had to have them all named before we were allowed to leave, so I was in a desperate hurry to come up with a good girls' name that didn't repeat any of the other eight names and didn't suck. I think I ended up with Clarabelle* and felt bad about it.

 I'm pretty sure what kicked off this insane little dream was the fact that my Facebook has of late been pretty much hosed down in babies. Everyone's status update is how their labour is going, which style of baby carrier is the best, potty training snafus and the like. It's been...tedious.
