My Rules for Living:

1. Don't let the sun go down on a argument, or at least, don't go to bed without resolving things. Mult-day conflict has a deeper impact than one might immediately think.

2. Love is action. Words help, but words without action can be meaningless. There is no better evidence for an emotion than demonstration.

3. Don't rely on past action as...

Rebuild... reinvent... start over.

so I've been trying out Match.com for a couple of months now and seem to be an all-around failure at it. I still haven't figured out if 'winking' at someone is rude or not- I mean, I'd never 'wink' at someone in real life, and the image I have of a 'winker' (replace 'i' with 'a') is a gold-chain-wearing guido (apologies...

SO it's been a while since I last found something that I would even consider calling the New Hotness...
until, unexpectedly last night it (kind of) came to me- geeks are the new hotness. As in 'Chuck' and 'Big Bang Theory', this seems to be the Year of the Geek. Sounds good to me- hopefully, more women will come to realise that geeks like me...

I read Bitch PhD's article today and had an immediate, violent and enduring reaction. In her piece she warned readers not to view the embedded video and though it was disturbing in a way I'm glad I ignored that piece of advice. I think I might not have had the reaction and ended up caring about the issue as much as I do now if...

So I don't feel like working, even though I have to, because I've been sick for about four days and need to catch up. I'm trying to tell myself that if I do a bit here and there, interspersed with some creative stuff, then I'm making a dent in the mountain of work, but it feels like i'm close to being buried in an avalanche....

i am the New Hotness.

Me...

I am the New Hotness in a general sense because I am me, but I am also the New Hotness specifically this week because I have managed to survive (and will continue to do so) by being me. In general, I am the new hotness despite the fact that none here seem to recognise it, because amongst other things...

It's been six weeks since my last confessional, um, I mean blog post. I really wanted to post every week and declare something the New Hotness each week, but alas, things have been a bit ('ow do ze nerds say eet) 'meh'. Partly it's my fault- I've been a bit depro and haven't really found anything worthwhile, so my standards for something/someone to declare the...

Transformers is the New Hotness...

There, I said it ... and now I wait for imaginary fanboys to rip my post to shreds...
...

Ok, so far so good. I've actually been waiting for three weeks to write this post, because I knew I'd enjoy the film from before I started writing on this blog. I saw the movie last week, courtesy of my...

Keen Eddie (and by default, Sienna Miller, and by double default, my ex-roommate who looks like Sienna Miller) is the New Hotness.

Backstory: so one of my best friends in the world, the most tattooed Jew I know (I only mention this because I was given to understanding that the Chosen couldn't have "marks upon their skin"- she had 12 or so before she converted...

hmmm... I've had a week to think about this and though I have looked around at things and people, I couldn't find anything that really jumped out at me as the New Hotness for this week. Perhaps an experience (and in this case a collection of small experiences, rather than a Grand Experience) will have to suffice.

Yesterday I got up and drove to Charlotte,...

It's been almost two years since my last post... I've decided to write once a week. I'm busy now, with my time filled up by so much non-stuff, like work and make-work, kill-the-boredom, creative making, which seems like so much fun and is so involving while I'm doing it, but then later seems empty. I suppose this means that I'm more of a process rather...

ok, i'm officialy sick of it. my life just makes me want to bend over and throw up. I walk down the road and feel like stopping and puking my heart out on the ground. My heart feels like i've already puked it out, and it's staring at me limply beating fainter and fainter in a pool of green vomit. aaarrgh. I want to scream...
