(except virtually everyone who is a regular reader of mine; you are all taller, thinner, and better looking that most folks anyway, so I’ll just ad smarter to the list).

I just ranted this on IM to a friend of mine:

verso: You know, a user’s guide is like a recipe
verso: if you don’t have enough brainpower or patience to make chocolate chip cookies, then stay the fuck away from technology. You won’t read a manual and you won’t bother knowing anything about anything. Do you get to call Betty Crocker or the everloving Toll House because you are too lazy to read a recipe? Or ask them where you keep your brown sugar?
verso: No, seriously. Back slowly away from the keyboard or I will taze you to within an inch of your miserable fucking existence.
Love,
Verso

SO! They gave Jared Leto a celebrity playlist baaack in the day on iTMS. (I don’t know how to make the link happen in here, so go to celebrity playlists and roll through em to see it).

He has “Fascination Street” by the Cure on there. I love the Cure, but I’m a girl so the whole guyliner thing is not a concern for moi. However! Here’s his description of the song:

Atmospheric. Moody. Dark. Makes me want to put on lipstick and fishnets. Enough said.

Yeah. Robert Smith makes Jared Leto want to WEAR LIPSTICK AND FISHNETS. He could only be gayer if he’d put together a celebrity playlist of his favorite Thunderpuss Remixes of Village People and ABBA tracks. And added Red Letter Day by the Pet Shop Boys.

At the very least he bats for both teams.

Lippy my dear, I hope you enjoyed this. (:

kleptocracy: A government characterized by rampant greed and corruption.

Sounds familiar, no?

Plus, if you work for them you’d be a kleptocrat. (you would; I looked it up.)

And this is why:

I urge you to stand up to anti-gay extremists and re-install the original Boston Pride window display at your downtown Boston Macy’s store. At a time when Boston is celebrating Pride Week, Macy’s should reaffirm its commitment to serving all its customers.

As the Meier & Frank chain of stores, a Portland institution, prepares to officially change their name to Macy’s, this is hardly something I would think Macy’s would want to be known for. If you really want to “honor diversity” or whatever it was you tried to say you were doing, then you should have left it and told those who disagreed not to look directly at the display. Your logic behind this display change simply does not hold water-if Jewish people complained would you take down Christmas displays? Your female mannequins have nipples and don’t wear bras, will you start removing them because I think they are “disgusting”? Get ready for protests from the gay community over the “disgusting” displays of male and female mannequins together.

Now you have not only angered the population segment with the most disposable income, but their friends, like me, who spend-I mean, spent- a fair amount of time and money in your locations. And Portlanders love a protest. Don’t be surprised if you don’t do very well here.

aren’t you?

bitches.
