The list doesn't say it's good. It says it's for straight women. It implies the gender and the orientation is the unifying factor, not even the quality.

If it's recommended, it's implied it's good. You are still losing this argument, commie.

And I can't go on Fleshbot anymore because they went to the new format. Ah well. We'll never know!

If it's recommended, it's implied it's good

Being recommended is a given. The default state of porn that I'm commenting on is "recommended on Fleshbot."

I'll concede that I'm losing when someone else explains their opposite position. Okay, maybe somewhat after that. But certainly not before.

YAY Perkins!

I recently read some random thing about clutching your thumb in your fist for suppressing a gag reflex. Makes no sense, but weirder things happen all the time.

...this was actually one of the tips she gave. Though I think she specified it was only the LEFT hand, for some odd reason? ...there were other tips too, but I promptly forgot them as I tried to purge my brain of the sight of her ass.

God, sometimes Toni Morrison and my mother could look alike.

And my mother wasn't above pretending to be her.

Though I think she specified it was only the LEFT hand, for some odd reason?

I wonder what happens if you do it with your right hand, then? Some other neurological response? Useful? Useless? Sexxay?

Your right thumb in your left hand, or is just one hand involved?

Unrelatedly, 20 lbs of simple syrup is a frigging lot.

I have got to make a Goodwill run tomorrow; I've got five bags of clothes to clear out of my apartment (just did another closet purge--some of my winter shirts, the too-big pants, and the summer shirts from last year, which I was going to use as around-the-apartment shirts this summer, but they're just too darn big!). Also, I'm going to make a stop at Half-Price Books and see what I can get for two bags of various books, audiobooks on tape, and VHS movies. Whatever they don't take will go to the fundraiser at work on Monday (used books, CDs, and videos/dvds sold for charity).

The size 28 jeans I've been wearing for just over a month are in the "too-big" pile as of today--yay! Also, I was able to have a Pap smear for the first time in several years since I no longer have too much fat in the way, which is also a "yay", I guess. (Better to know if there's anything going wrong in there.) My doctor hadn't seen me since February, and her first reaction was, "OMG, your face! It's so thin!!" I cracked up both her and the med student shadowing her when I pointed out the only major drawback to weightloss--my legs are getting hairy again (the hair stopped growing when the weight interfered with circulation going back to the heart, apparently).

Did you make 20 lbs of simple syrup? Meaning 20 lbs of sugar and the appropriate amount of water (yes I skimmed!)

No, but it's been on my TBR list forEVER. (I'm pretty sure I took it out from the library once and then returned it unread.)

I'm really enjoying it so far. I had read the NYMag article but not the rest of the stuff.

Do you read Ask Moxie? For a while she was leading discussions on it one chapter at a time.

Don't read Ask Moxie -- I am not doing a ton of parent blogs because it just stresses me out. I should go back and look though.

This week off has been supremely weird. We joined a localish YMCA. I have been swimming every day except today (inspired by sara and Kathy). My regular yoga teacher only taught one of the classes I take when I am off, so I've been thrown off with that too. I did take a class at the Y tonight (the woman who taught it is also a student of my regular yoga teacher). It wasn't the best yoga ever (no inversions, no arm balances, lots of standing poses with long holds, a few backbends...nothing stellar), but it was yoga I wasn't paying for per class and she teaches there 4 days a week so... I may keep going.

I also donated blood for the first time in 15 years yesterday.

Yay for swimming Kat!!! Isn't it great?

I donated blood for the first time in a few years on Wednesday.

I'm also thinking about signing up for yoga at my community center (where the pool is) this summer. I really want to get my flexibility back as much as possible, and I think that'll be the best way.
