Chicks (without dicks) in the Oval Office


Now I am not some hairy-legged feminist, but come on!!! What's up with this country? Why is the most notable woman to come out of the White House lately is Monica Lewinsky?

I guess what inspired this entry of mine is the fact that India had its first female president elected (congrats to Pratibha Patil). India! Where they still have honor killings of girls who dare talk to boys and female infanticide. Where you still can't show any affection in public. Where only a fraction of women get education. Now we pride ourselves on equality and human rights and progress and ... damn it, men get more manicures than women nowadays, yet we still haven't had a female president. And we've had candidates since 1872 (though I find it odd that women were able to run for presidency before they even had a right to vote).

I'm not saying go out there and vote for Hillary, just cause she's a woman. If you don't agree with her policies, please, tell her to go fuck herself. But what I'm saying is don't go out there and NOT vote for Hillary, just cause she's a woman.

I'm ready for my close up, Mr. Deville.


Lately I've been somewhat realizing my childhood dream of being a movie star. And I didn't have to sleep with anyone I didn't want to.

First, I took a class on Video, where I got to write, direct, operate the camera, edit and provide the soundtrack for my own movies. The apex of that career was appearing in a cameo as Jen's love interest in a film noir. It came out really well actually and was a ton of fun.

Then at work, I got to script and act in this infomercial about our department's services. I got to play this futuristic "retard-subduer" so to speak. Also I had a very important role as a secretary delivering printouts from a printer. Very important role. The whole movie would not make an ounce of sense if it wasn't for her. She's like the Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible. Right now the movie's in post-production and hopefully does my role justice once completed.

Yes, I am one with the art of film making. Eat this, Martin Scorsese!
