If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest you "SITH YO' ASS DOWN" and see it.
Watched it, I did.
Much ass, it kicked.
Speak like Yoda, I will.
Big fat geek, I am...

Some of my favorite feminist quotes
People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.
--Rebecca West
Of all the nasty outcomes predicted for women's liberation--none was more alarming, from a feminist point of view, than the suggestion that women would eventually become just like men.
--Barbara Ehrenreich
I became a feminist as an alternative to becoming a masochist.
- Sally Kempton, journalist
Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels.
--Faith Whittlesey
I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.
--Madonna
There are very few jobs that actually require a penis or vagina. All other jobs should be open to everybody.
--Florynce Kennedy
Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.
--Margaret Mead
Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.
--Gloria Steinem
I think, therefore I'm single.
--Lizz Winstead
A woman is like a tea bag. It's only when she's in hot water that you realize how strong she is.
--Carl Sandburg
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
--Gloria Steinem

With or without a "Hijab"
We'll make our way in...

"Shame"
Listening to "Shame" by BT (a.k.a Brian Transeau)
Lyrics:
A lonely doll
She came again
Frozen wall
Like teenage skin
And neither for
What comes within
A substance clouds like sinking sin
You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said
How very bizarre
All those blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said
Lay me down
Oh such a shame...
You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says
How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says
You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said
How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said
Still smell of fear
She came again
A frozen wall
Like teenage skin
She'll break my fall
Begin my friend
Some old substance clouds like sinking sin
You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says
How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
It's such a shame
It's such a shame
Lyrics:
A lonely doll
She came again
Frozen wall
Like teenage skin
And neither for
What comes within
A substance clouds like sinking sin
You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said
How very bizarre
All those blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said
Lay me down
Oh such a shame...
You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says
How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says
You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said
How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said
Still smell of fear
She came again
A frozen wall
Like teenage skin
She'll break my fall
Begin my friend
Some old substance clouds like sinking sin
You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says
How very bizarre

Quite a shame that it goes this way
It's such a shame
It's such a shame

Munki of the day (Part II)

Munki of the day
So I typed in the word "Munki" in Google images, and this was one of many things I found.
(It's a children's line of clothing)
Note the caption where it says "Scratch and Sniff Underpants"...
Anyone else find that disturbing?

"Where is the what if the what is in why ?"
(This post is inspired by a comment I left on SheWrites' latest post)
Below are the lyrics to a song by Moloko, entitled: "Where is the what if the what is in why ?"
If you haven't heard this song, I HIGHLY recommend you download it ASAP
------------------------------------------------------
What is a God of phoney creation?
Where am I going with no destination?
What if the fish came from the sea?
What if my lover made me feel free?
What if my intake caused revelation?
What if the point was reincarnation?
What if my shoes don't match my jacket?
If it's not working why don't you smack it...
What if your mama said you were fat?
If you are lost find where your at...
What is a number without any time?
You can't get higher with nothing to climb...
Why have a body if you ain't got a mind?
What is a searcher with nothing to find?
Why is the traffic refusing to stop?
Why climb the ladder if you can't reach the top?
Where is the what if the what is in why?
Where is the what if the what is in why?
Where is the what if the what is in why?
What do you dream of when you sleep at night?
Wee how the blind man fills up with light?
What is a bird with nowhere to fly?
How can you leave and not say goodbye?
What is a hunter with nothing to find?
What is the goodness without the unkind?
When did the outfit fall out of fashion?
When did the lover run out of passion?
My reincarnation time a phoney creation rhyme...
With no destination mine my information's fine...
Why did the voice say don't step on the floor?
Why did the sign say so float through the door?
What is a God of phoney creation?
Where am I going with no destination?
What if the fish came from the sea?
What if my lover made me feel free?
What if my intake caused revelation?
What if the point was reincarnation?
What if my shoes don't match my jacket?
If it's not working why don't you smack it...
What if your mama said you were fat?
If you are lost find where you're at...
Where is the what if the what is in why?
Where is the what if the what is in why?
Where is the what if the what is in why?
How did the loser get to be rich?
What is a salesman with nothing to pitch?
When did the fool get to be king?
Why did you leave when they asked you to sing?
Why lose belief if you got a dream?
What is a train that ran out of steam?
What is a spy with no-one to spy on?
Who do you sleep with nothing to lie on?
What if the fruit don't fall from the tree?
What if these questions just won't let you be?
Why waste your time looking for proof?
What if the answer is never the truth?

Untitled (for now)
Quicksand conversations
Sinking in your sweetness
Dead ends dissolve
Into a Duchamp landscape
A hit or miss
Understanding
Unknowing
"You hit it on the head"
Instead
I choose to let it go...
Talking away the day
Sleepless nights
Making the most
of my solitude
Thinking twice
I don’t know where to focus...
Anything goes and nobody knows
That light flows from your hands
Ebbing, I retreat from your life
Knowing you’ll see it from my eyes
Eventually...
My acrylic heart shows through
And dreams release me
Sharing visions and decisions
Growing into the women we are
I see blue and I smile
Knowing you can’t be far...
Now I can’t seem to define
What it is you do
Stumbling and crumbling
Hoping to live through my scars
I see you and I sigh
Knowing you can’t be far...
Sinking in your sweetness
Dead ends dissolve
Into a Duchamp landscape
A hit or miss
Understanding
Unknowing
"You hit it on the head"
Instead
I choose to let it go...
Talking away the day
Sleepless nights
Making the most
of my solitude
Thinking twice
I don’t know where to focus...
Anything goes and nobody knows
That light flows from your hands
Ebbing, I retreat from your life
Knowing you’ll see it from my eyes
Eventually...
My acrylic heart shows through
And dreams release me
Sharing visions and decisions
Growing into the women we are
I see blue and I smile
Knowing you can’t be far...
Now I can’t seem to define
What it is you do
Stumbling and crumbling
Hoping to live through my scars
I see you and I sigh
Knowing you can’t be far...
