Why is this list gendered? These are all things everyone should know how to do. If a dude can’t make me a good cocktail, he is out the door.

Feministe » What Would Prop 4 Mean? →
With all the attention Prop 8 is getting, I’m super scared about Prop 4 passing because it is falling under the radar. Parental notification laws don’t work; you can’t force people to have healthy relationships with their parents. Seriously. Let’s take this shit down!

The passport agency is actually pretty okay. I had huge issues a few years ago when I lost my naturalization certificate (I wasn’t born in the US and am a naturalized citizen through my mom) and they were the only ones who would help me. I still think very fondly of the guy who worked at City Hall in San Francisco who helped me with my complicated passport application (try proving you are...

I (early) voted Yes on K. Here are some reasons you should, too.
Warning: Stereotypes ahead
Most real Chinese food is not deep fried; you are totally right, a lot of what Americans think of as ‘Chinese food’ is actually bastardized versions to suit American palates. My biggest example is an old co-worker I used to have who was Chinese immigrant who brought her lunch from home every day and it was almost all veggies, meat and rice. No dairy, no breading, and no frying. One of...
in which i earn my internet hipster wings
Question posed to me this weekend, in person, by someone who will remain nameless:
“How has your life changed since writing for ThisRecording?”
I’m going to be in NYC/NJ for the next two weeks (11/1 - 11/15). I grew up in NYC, and my parents now live in Jersey.
WHAT’S HOT AND WHAT’S NOT? I am basically a tourist in NYC now, I haven’t lived there in years. I am your typical San Francisco person who is really into food. However, I don’t have a lot of money to burn, so keep that in mind.
Also, I want to go...

Yet another article on how badly the McCain campaign done fucked up this election. It’s kind of spectacular to watch, really. I swore I would stop reading election news, especially since I already early voted, but I...

As one of the commenters pointed out, the biggest difference between the “before” and “after” screenshots are the ads. Also, I find that the original use of those same 20 Wordpress themes everyone uses (I can sniff them all out at this point) to be kind of endearing.
WatchA clip from Pleasure for Sale, a documentary on brothel workers in Nevada currently on the Sundance Channel on Hulu. This clip shows two women talking about their first time with customers. I’d never heard about this documentary before, and I’m looking for full episodes right now. It looks interesting and not the porn-ness of Cathouse (about the Bunny Ranch where they mostly focus on...
i am a karaoke asshole
from my birthday party last night:
1. asked a friend i hadn’t seen in a few years if he wanted to do karaoke, he said “i can’t. the karaoke at this party is just TOO GOOD.”
2. a bunch of people showed up at the bar who were not associated with our party and to compensate, we decided we were going to have a list of songs that were banned. in other words, NO JOURNEY, NO...

WatchI like Brooke Shields, and I like Lipstick Jungle.
i turn 27 in 4 days.
Last night I read almost all of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist at Books Inc on Market and it made me so sad I didn’t buy it. Then, I walked home listening to a depressing playlist and came home, watched The Office and ate the second half of my Ike’s sandwich.
Today I have tried to get moving boxes so I can finally start packing up my books and start exiting this apartment...

I know this headline is supposed to shock me, but I saw it and thought “Oh, that would be awesome — prostitutes SHOULD be safe.”

2. If I Comment on Each of Her Flickr Photos?
I would add to that: favorite-ing her Flickr photos. Or finding her friend’s photos of her and adding those to your favorites. The kind of behavior that is cute when the people are in a relationship but is creepy when you don’t know them.

This is in clear “yes” territory. Yes, you are flirting. No, she will not go out with you. (Have you even asked?) How is that shot of...
live from new york...
As an old school SNL fan, I always get excited, waiting for “live from new york…” during the cold open. When Joe and I would watch the re-runs every day, we would always point out who got to say it, getting excited when it was a new cast member’s turn.
I’m pretty dissapointed that Sarah Palin got to say it. She doesn’t deserve it.

I miss talking.
Yeah. It’s a big joke amongst my friends that I hate the phone and never answer it unless I have to. But when I was in high school, I loved the phone, always on it, would spend hours talking to my friends. The place I live in right now has TERRIBLE reception for T-Mobile, so talking on the phone for me is a huge exercise in frusration. I’ve gotten to making calls I have to make...
