‘a number of things considered as a unit’

misc:

i would like to wear false eyelashes, like, all the time.  i think they are beautiful.

gus is hiding under the coffee table because it’s thundering.  i’m so glad for the rain. i’m also learning to love the parts of summer that involve hibernating inside under the AC.  don’t really have too much choice about that at the moment, but maybe that’s just fortunate timing.

i’m going to a conference in a couple weeks in richmond.  i wish travel was more a part of my line of work.  i’m being put up in the swanky resort, the same place where the conference takes place. i feel like it’s the kind of place where people have affairs, or three-day long liasons.  hm.

this is what my back looked like until yesterday:

the drain is gone now, thank god.   it was probably the part of this experience that wigged me out the most.  accordingly, i flipped out a little yesterday during the removal and may have passed out for just a wee little moment.  i thought the end of the tube was just stitched into the incision, and didn’t realize that its removal would include pulling what felt like half a foot of tubing out of my back.  BARF.

you’ll notice the strip over what looks like a crater – the former home of my hump.  i’m hoping i do not have a permanent crater in my back.  i will save that question for my last post-op appointment with the surgeon.

i miss having a gay best, or at least, close guy friend.  in fact, i miss male companionship as a whole.  i used to be the chick whose majority of friends were dudes – what happened?  that just seemed a lot easier.

i’m excited to get back to the farmer’s market this weekend.

a sex toy for dogs

Ok, while I was on the whole ‘weird love’* kick, there’s this more tame item: a sex toy for male dogs.

Even I have my limits. And this just seems stupid. Wake me up when it gets motorized.

* a nicer way to describe inner-species/inner-everything love, right? How do you describe a man and a pillowcase when talking about a relationship, anyway?

the other love that dare not speak its name

This link (which I can’t ruin by explaining) started it. And then I got passed this link — a NYT article about men who are in love with 2D representations of women.

Yes. You read that correctly.

And it’s just as wild as you might imagine — you know, if you find a grown man who is in love with a pillowcase to be wild. Your mileage might vary.

sears craftsmen: men see women as tools

For the latest science news that makes me uncomfortable for some reason, science shows men might be hardwired to objectify women:

Researchers used brain scans to show that when straight men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using tools, like spanners and screwdrivers, were activated.

Scans of some of the men found that a part of the brain associated with empathy for other peoples’ emotions and wishes shut down after looking at the pictures.

Because, generally, I see women as nothing but a set of nails and screws.

useful photography #008

I am a sucker for themed series. I am also a sucker for weird cultural investigations of porn. So it’s not a stretch to realize I would be a huge fan of a book showing opening scenes from porn movies.

slideshow @ wallpaper.com or order the book. $34 bucks for 80 pages. I’m pretty tempted.

Fifty Years of Popular Songs Condensed Into Single Sentences

Fifty Years of Popular Songs Condensed Into Single Sentences: I want to do it with you.

The funniest thing you will read all day. I promise.

Related: I remember being young and my sister asking my father why most songs were about love. Since she was probably 5 or 6 at the time, he was most impressed with her noticing it. I remember just being slightly jealous, as I had never thought to voice such an obvious truth. That or I hadn’t noticed.

Either way, this list is awesome.
