Maybe I'm Wrong

But I think we just had another quake. Weird.

Head Tingles and Jimmy Stewart

There is some small hope for humanity. Well played, sir.

Mike: You were extremely attractive, and as for distant and forbidding, on the contrary. But you also were a little the worse - or the better - for wine, and there are rules about that.--Macauley Connor (Jimmy Stewart), The Philadelphia Story

The world needs more of that.

Feeling blue and lost? Try a power stance! Allegedly, just two minutes a day can change your life.

I'm always fascinated by body language studies. One of my particular areas of interest is the depiction of power/confidence stances and the division of gestures between genders. I have found that I display classic male and arrogance poses---but I can report that I am not feeling particularly arrogant or confident when I am in that position. In fact, one of the classic sitting poses that supposedly transmits confidence is the one I use when I'm thinking "I have nothing to do with this, I wash my hands of it, keep me outta this." Interesting.

Also, someone recently described me as walking around with an imperious air--like I was "queen of the world." Cuz you know me, high rolling. Living the life of luxury. Looking down on all the peasants.Off with their heads, yo.

Freaky Deaky: I didn't even know that this was a thing:

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR). Basically, this is that head tingly feeling you get when you hear certain sounds. I always thought this was something weird that just happened to me because I was a freak.

Well, I may still be a freak, but I am not alone! If you've experienced this and you really want to squick yourself out, play some of these videos. It took a couple tries, but there are definitely some out there that will make your scalp crawl. <----Actually much more pleasant than it sounds.

Isn't it pleasant to have nothing to say and let others speak for you? Links make the world go round.

Bartending With Lin Lin--Alpha Mike Foxtrotter

Sometimes Lin Lin will make you a drink.

This can also be used to sanitize combs.

Maybe Lin Lin waits until you've had a few sips to reveal the ingredients.

Somebody call my mom.

1/2 oz ea tequila, gin, blue curaćao, 151 rum, vodka in to a tall glass fill w/ ice 4 oz sour mix, finish w/soda.

And that's how Lin Lin makes you an Adios Motherfucker. Leave it to Lin to get me to drink something blue.

Rape Is Criminal and Unacceptable

Obvious statement is obvious. And yet, it still apparently still needs to be made.

So, some rapists got in trouble for raping someone. Shocking.

Seems like some people focused on the horror of being a rapist, rather than the horror of being raped. Because those poor boys will be labeled sex offenders for life. All over one youthful, drunken mistake.

Let me help those people out with their feelings of sympathy and pity. Getting into your car and driving while drunk, then smacking your car upside an embankment is a drunken mistake.

Getting drunk and deciding to streak the football game is as drunken mistake.

Getting drunk, then getting a girl so drunk she passes out, taking off her clothes, inserting things into her vagina, urinating and ejaculating on her, and then taking video and pictures and distributing them on social networking sites IS NOT a youthful, drunken mistake.

It's a deliberate act of sexual violation and personal humiliation carried out by entitled, self serving, myopic, coddled dickheads. It's rape. With a side bonus of faux slut-shaming.

The boys had some charming texts that display their wit and compassion. Don't read if you're easily nauseated by human indecency.

Here's some people who said it a lot better than I could:

Genevieve Burgess

The punishment for getting too drunk should be a hangover, not sexual assault. Anyone who argues differently is a monster.

"When you're working to change women's behavior in order to prevent rape, you're really just saying 'make sure he rapes the other girl'."

NateMan

These rapists raped a girl. Raped. It's an ugly, ugly word, but it's the right one. She has to live with it the rest of her life. I'm okay with these two being forced to do that as well.

 Here's the juice:

• This is about human rights. Period.  

• It is wrong to focus on how woman can avoid being raped. The focus should be on educating and developing a cultural that eliminates rape from the sexual repertoire. To be reductive about it: Women shouldn't have to avoid rape, rather men should not be raping. 

• A person shouldn't have to say "No." No sexual activity should occur until someone explicitly says "Yes."

I went to bed at 10:30 last night and woke up at 1:30 am this morning. I've been up since.

Thanks be for Netflix and all 478 seasons of MI-5.

Not getting enough sleep feels suspiciously like a hangover, which is really unfair if you think about it. At least with a proper hangover you can point to the source and say: Yes, it was that second whole bottle of tequila that did me in!

But a non-sleep hangover you just go: Why do I feel as if I'd been drowned in whiskey and hung out to molder?

Now I have to go and drown in the beauty that is Richard Armitage a bit more. It is really ridiculous how handsome and appealing he is. Seriously. He may actually be a legitimate health threat of some kind. Causes brain disorder that leads to swooning, staring at screens too long, and sighing way too much.

Has anybody out there ever been haunted by the smell of maple syrup, with no syrup on hand causing the fragrance? Sometimes I think I'm going crazy.

All the other times I know I'm already there.

I cannot get over this man's nose. Damn sexy beast.
