Soup

I made some soup today. It was a kind of a minestrone filled with most all the vegetables I enjoy or at least the TTHM would have called it minestrone.

Back when we were in the thick of our totally not romantic relationship the TTHM and I would talk on the phone every night for like an hour. While we were on the phone he would be chopping up vegetables to make some crazy soup he always called minestrone, and I would masturbate because vegetable chopping is hot. Just kidding. I only practiced when he read Flannery O’Connor stories to me. Because men reading great works of fiction out loud is totally hot. This is something I would not kid you about.

The TTHM’s birthday was last week. Even though I remembered, I didn’t mention it.

I don’t know if I’ll ever think of soup in the same way again.

Things I Want to Tell You

Someone needs to invent a bug repellent spray that not only keeps the mosquitoes away but includes some sort of anti-itch stuff to keep the bites you've already gotten from itching like crazy. [+]

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]
