Peach-blueberry pie is in the oven, go me.

So the dogsitter has a degree in environmental policy and has no full-time work. Adorable recent college grad just trying to make ends meet. So I told him to send me his resume.

Also, he got my dad's skittish dog to accept him in just a few minutes, so that's good.

My town had a car show today. It was kind of cool -- got to see some neat-looking cars. Not so cool that I had to move my own car two blocks away, because the show cars were being parked in the place where I normally park. Also, couldn't really go anywhere today, because there's no way I would have found a parking space when I got back.

Tomorrow starts tech week for a community theatre play where I'm working backstage. I hope that'll be fun.

I used my new blender (a refurbished BlendTec) to make some vegan cheese, which turned out OK. I've got a book of vegan cheese recipes, and I've liked some of the others better. This one was fresh mozzarella, and it ended up way too soft -- it holds together like it's supposed to, but it's much too easy to pull apart.

Dogs are often excellent judges of character.

A woman's phone is stolen and she kicks the thief's ass. Well, not so much his ass as his balls. Plus a roundhouse kick to his face.

Nut shot/face shot is the sequence I was just fantasising about yesterday. I was asking questions in an AMA in how they trained to fight, and he called nut shots "a softening technique". Which I've never heard a guy do (although I can see contexts in which softer happens...), but the end move of all their fights is to stomp the face with the heel, so yeah, softening is relative.

Very informative discussion, although everyone else was asking about flying since he was a helicopter mechanic.

I don't understand the comment about never stealing a white-girl's phone.

Probably a spin on "never steal a black girl's phone". Which I've never actually heard, but can totally imagine being said. More than once.

II didn't know until just now that vajazzling isn't even vulvjazzling SFW. You're not even near the labia--some women will need a bikini wax first, but that's about it. I'm quite disappointed.

Suzi, say no to Dr. Google. I'm not saying to say no to parsed info, like from Ginger, but when you're the one in pain, don't do the research.

Slander is the spoken version of libel, right? Sis has a colleague going around calling her a lawbreaking bisexual. Now, in Ja, it's pretty likely just the bi part is illegal, but he's also saying she has a criminal record for lewd acts--that she was caught by the cops rocking a car fingering a woman. Now, that's a hell of a finger, but that's hardly the point--he's saying these things so willy nilly at the office he didn't realise one of the people he was maligning her to was her friend.

Here I wouldn't be bothered if there was a rumour going around that I was queer, but Ja is different--apparently she's pushing the LGBTQ agenda so hard that even gay people (count=1) couldn't bear it, and that's why there are no post-Bachelor's anthro students. I can hardly breathe for vicarious and helpless outrage. A co-worker who's all buddy buddy buddy with her to her face.

That's my baby sister's career you're fucking with. You have a problem with aggressive short-haired women? Let's...problem...together, fuckface.

I'm sorry, Suzi.

And JFC, ita.

...

Things that will completely rear end my mood: stupid humans getting between me and my swim, traffic jams, coughing and having my plans completely fucked up.

Things that happened today, see above. I'm sick of my foul moods and I cannot seem to get away from them. I'm toxic in this state.

Egad, ita, she has a colleague saying that? What an asshole. That's both slander and sexual harrassment, at least here. No idea about sexual harrassment laws elsewhere.

Yeah, I winnowed Dr. Google to helpful hints.

That really sucks, ita. Both slander and libel are classed as defamation and are illegal in most Western countries, including Jamaica. It's a lot easier to bring a defamation suit in the UK than here. The problem with slander is that it's harder to prove than libel. Can she get someone higher up to talk with the evil colleague?

Also want to watch the vajazzling video, but I am quite disappointed to find out there's no labia involved.

Speaking of, when did shaving one's cooch bare become so popular that it no longer pings as kink?

It's false advertising, it is.

The comments on the article where I found the all very "leave enough so you remember they're legal" in nature, wjofj...

I'm encouraging Savannah (sis, nym) to work her way up the org chart, because this should be actionable, hopefully without hitting p the purse strings.

Not sure when exactly, but I've been seeing guys comment on articles about cooch-shaving to the effect of "I would never consider dating a woman with pubic hair; it's just basic hygiene, and if she can't be bothered to do even that much she's obviously lazy and gross" for at least the last five years. Prior to that, there were always some people who'd admit it was their preference, but it's definitely just been in the last several years that people (at least the people who bother to post on the Internet) have been equating it to regular tooth-brushing.

I am so, so glad not to be single and attempting to date. I would probably stab everyone a lot.
