my taste in movies may still be terrible, though
because I’m pretty much definitely for sure going to see Goon. Sorry, whatever, I’m sure it will be terrible. I still want to see it.

Whoa, right you are! Do please read her very perfect review here, she articulates beautifully what I could not!

Last night I was sexually assaulted in the street (well, tonight, but I’m publishing today so I’ve edited as such). Let me be clear on this; I wasn’t actually physically harmed in anyway, but I was put under threat for my bodily integrity (that I might be raped or beaten), which, in Australia at…

I didn’t just not like it, I hated it. I was angry at it, insulted by it. I mean, I pretty much hate all movies about writers always, always, but this one just…I couldn’t stomach it. It was embarrassing, it felt like it was written by a precocious teenager who snuck into a first year english lit survey course. But….Ebert liked it. Coketalk liked it! And other people,...

This actually gives me joy, because I just KNOW tweedledum and tweedledee are going to say all kinds of stupid, stupid shit, digging themselves even further into a dumbfuck hole of their own design.

and the outcry over the required ultrasound.
Are ultrasounds not already part of standard abortus provocatus (medically induced abortion) procedure?
Over here, the three methods for abortus provocatus are the abortion pill, suction curettage, and D&E. When a woman goes to her doctor and asks for an abortion, the first thing that is done is an ultrasound...

Does anybody have hope for your country? Like, really, is there hope? This isn’t a rah rah Canada is so superior post, because we have our own issues, obviously. I’m asking a serious question. If, in 2012, you’re fighting about the legitimacy or the morality of providing access to contraception…like, wtf? Where do you go from here?

much discussed person to be discussed some more
I can’t see Chris Brown without remembering a conversation I had three years ago with two close friends and a guy I was dating on and off. It was immediately after the Chris Brown beating the shit out of Rihanna incident, and all three – ALL THREE – of those generally normal, sound minded people were defending Chris Brown. “We don’t know what happened.” “She could have provoked him.” “She...

From an article at cbc.ca about murder rates being higher in rural Canada: “I don’t care what anybody says I’m proud of this stat. In Canada you have a lower chance of being shot than the Leafs winning the cup.”

They terrified me at first, but I’m pretty cool with them now. Also, this kind of knitting is very impressive to non-knitters, which makes me feel good. But yeah, my mom is teaching me and she is amazing and I definitely...

maura:
A bit worried that this is going to be one in a series.
Most times I try not to reblog the post that’s being reblogged by everybody else? But then Maura writes something that deserves to be reblogged by everybody on earth forever and ever and ever, or at least until Tumblr stops being a thing. READ IT.

Says Mr. Weston “Farmers’ markets are great…one day they’re going to kill some people though.” Yes, Mr. Weston, I’m certain it will be the food from my farmer’s market that will kill me. Not the chemical laden food with which you stock your store. Not the produce covered in lethal pesticides. Oh nooooo. That’s all perfectly safe!
Need he be reminded of the 20...

very, very serious grievances
If I have signed my name in an e-mail and you respond with it spelled totally differently you are the worst. I mean it. I know it’s a somewhat unusual spelling. I know! But that’s only an excuse if I haven’t already signed my name in the e-mail. Seriously.

Not one. And if the only argument you have is that your specific religion disapproves, well, that’s not really an argument at all; at least not in this country.

gag me
I guess I need to set up, like, a wedding website or something? For people? So I can communicate info to them? I tried to set one up at theknot.com, but the whole process was super duper nauseating and I just…couldn’t. I basically just want to throw down the basic details: maps, links to transit info, accommodation suggestions, registry stuff etc. It doesn’t seem like Tumblr...

give me something that's funny
I want to laugh. Like, I want to really, really laugh. Now that I’m writing this, I don’t even know if I’ve ever really laughed at a movie before.* But let’s not let that stand in the way. I want to LAUGH. I want to watch something that is impossible not to laugh at. I want something really, truly funny. Not Judd Apatow funny. REAL funny. What should I watch?

My hand (the one I broke last November) is ACHING, all of a sudden/out of nowhere. Ha, ha, remember how the doctor told me I should not be working out for three months after the injury and I was like “yeah right doctor I’m not trading a sore hand for an eating disorder we both know I’m going back to yoga tomorrow”?? Now I can have both, sore hand and eating ish! Yay! Yayyayyay! Also, I really...
