It's So Hard Loving You: Number 9 Problematic Songs By The Beatles

It’s So Hard Loving You: Number 9 Problematic Songs By The Beatles

The Fab Four were and are my favorite non-classical artists from my adolescence on, 8-bar none (Cut me some slack; I was an orch dork). I’ll admit I was somewhat obsessive at times; I’d take my father’s CDs (and records, too, once I learned how to operate the turntable), fire up my sandalwood incense, and listen for hours and hours, pausing and repeating my favorite songs, trying to suspend…

Something's Weird and It Don't Look Good: How To Talk Shit About the Ghostbusters 3 Trailer

Something’s Weird and It Don’t Look Good: How To Talk Shit About the Ghostbusters 3 Trailer

Are you troubled by instances of sexist/racist bullshit on your social media feeds? Does opening your Twitter mentions fill you with a sense of dread? Have you or your family ever even dared to scroll down and read Youtube comments? More importantly: do you remember where you were when the trailer for Ghostbusters III dropped? I do– I was minding my own friggin’ business when I saw it on one of…

It's Actually About Ethics in Planetary Destruction: The Force Awakens as Allegory for Gamergate

It’s Actually About Ethics in Planetary Destruction: The Force Awakens as Allegory for Gamergate

There has been an awakening. Have you felt it? FUCK YEAH I HAVE! STAR WARS, MOTHERFUCKER! If you’re like me, you were crazy hype for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens from the time the first trailer came out. The amount of hype that I had for this movie surprised me because, while I enjoyed the previous Star Wars films (some of them ironically, others in earnest), it didn’t get me hot the…

"The world would split open": Reviewing 'Poems From The Women's Movement'

“The world would split open”: Reviewing ‘Poems From The Women’s Movement’

Do you care about poetry? If you said, “Yes,” while clutching your dogeared tomes of Byron earnestly to your chest, you’re adorable. Skip the next paragraph. If you said no, your experience of poetry has probably been something like this: you were probably forced to read Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride in 7th grade Language Arts, maybe analyzed a few sonnets in high school, read a little Dickinson,…

On Being [A Woman On The Internet]

Alright, very first post! First of all, I would like to thank LadyJess for recruiting me, and I’m thrilled and excited to be a part of this site. (I would also like to back up Jess’ statements about boobs. My boobs have drafted college papers and constitutions for me before, so I have complete trust in their ability to assist my writing.) Secondly, I want to show my appreciation for my fellow…

Same! I don't know what the fuck is going on!

I feel like we survived a bomb strike and we're just looking at the aftermath.

12, 20, 25, 13.

12: What is a weird habit you have, or people have told you have. (Weird, not bad. No nail biting or any of that nonsense.)

The first one that comes to mind is gasping every time an enemy knocks out one of my characters in Final Fantasy III.  I gasp, then I'm like, "...the fuckin' boss is attacking twice per action and you're SURPRISED?!"

13: What would you consider to be the biggest insult to yourself?

You know, I’m not quite sure yet. I’ll let you know when it happens.

20: What is one of your favorite song lyrics? (Who is it by?)

"If not for me, then do it for yourself." from "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You" by Stevie Nicks (damn, I’ve not listened to that in forever… I need to change that)

25: Which member from which band would you most want to lather in nutella?

I think it'd be easier to list ones that I WOULDN'T want to lather in Nutella. XD

I'm in ur privacy, invading it with Orange!

Six facts about little ol' Graceville, eh?

Alrighty, then!

We lack a Wal-Mart.  Whether or not that's a blessing depends on your point of view.

We're literally three miles south of Alabama.

There's a Baptist college here, so it's TECHNICALLY a college town.

As of the 2004 Census, we've got about 2,402 people (why has this not been updated on Wikipedia?).

There's a restaurant here called Circle Grill, which I will swear has the best goddamn burgers!  Anyone who visits here WILL be taken there!

If you're a longtime Florida Gators and/or Chicago Bears fan, then you'll recognize the name Neal Anderson.  He's pretty much a hometown hero here.  And I graduated with his nephew.
