et_ux

Today I was given the chance to do something I've wanted to do for a long time. This should be very exciting, but given past experience I'm afraid it might fall through, so mostly it's just making me nervous. Keep your fingers crossed for me, pretty please?

Oh, and keep them crossed my house doesn't burn down, either. In a snafu of colossal proportions, my...

et_ux is a captivating, intoxicating individual. Around et_ux, birds suddenly appear, and choruses of angels sing hymns to et_ux's bonny face. Sadly, unless et_ux tells you more about et_ux, this is all you'll ever know about et_ux.

wtf?

And since when do I have to have a "blog"? I don't want to have a blog . . . .

Alright, here's another audience participation entry.

Does anyone have ideas of good, female-affirming movies/tv (preferably not just merchandising vehicles) for Lucy? Even PBS Kids is woefully lacking in female role models. I guess Dragon Tales is fine, but otherwise, there's just about nothing. Even Sesame Street sucks--I mean, come on, can't they do better than Zoe,Rrrrosita, and freaking Prairie Dawn? What is that crap?

So, last night, I was lying around thinking about how much most porn bores or nauseates me. I decided one way to fix this would be to pick a reasonably good piece of written erotica, make it into a really well produced movie with a decent budget, and cast attractive people who can actually act in it.

When you're googling for solutions to the problems of your life, and the top five hits direct you to lhj.com, it may be time to take matters into your own hands and get a life.

So, is it a bad thing that I'm as picky about buying Lucy's shoes as I am mine? I can't decide between the current fuschia with white stripes and silver stars model, pink with shiny heart and crossbones, orange scalloped mary janes, and red and white bowling shoes. Or maybe I should just get her pink skull old school Vans.

Any opinions?

Why is it that Christmas vacation always leaves me tired?

Oh the other hand, I have very cute new boots.

(surprised to see me?)

So, yesterday I woke up and realized I had had a very complicated set of dreams in which, among other things, my husband kept demanding I have group sex with dancing eugenists and I lost my daughter under a pile of laundry. I think maybe I'm a little stressed.

Ooh. Satellite imagery seems to be telling me my house still existed on Wednesday. Lots of water all around, but it looks like maybe not actually too deep. Of course, someone could have burned it down by now, but still, this is a good sign, I think.
