Randomness

I've been buying croissants and coffee recently, and it's made me a much happier person, though its made my bank account a sad panda - let me know if you want to adopt it :)

I was sitting on my Jlem porch, eating a croissant, drinking coffee, feeling so blessed by God: Then suddenly a huge bumbelby appeared and I scuttled inside, awed by the power of this tiny creature to send humans running. מה רבו מעשיך ה

I took a Cosmo quizz while drinking coffee. It told me I got number 4 "wrong". How do you get a question wrong on a personality quizz? I thought the whole point of women's magazine quizzes was to boost your ego, while also showing you pictures of stick-skinny models and urging you to become anorexic.

One question in the quizz was how you would react if you were intimate with a guy and noticed he had a hairy back - it bothered me that this question presumes that hairy backs on guys are un-sexy. This question is just one small example of how men are also opressed by the patriarchy - because let's face it, it doesn't get much more patriarchal than Cosmo magazine.

I don't feel like rushing off to a job I won't be paid to do - who knew it would take an internship to unleash my inner capitalist? What would Frida Kahlo say of my new-found proclivities?
