The Daily Durvy

Perez Hilton is my dirty little secret.

I try my hardest not to admit that I read him pretty much on the daily. I started mainly because I didn’t know about Heath Ledger’s death until the next day and I feel like that is a travesty of modern-day life.

And today, I was rewarded for my addiction.

He released a single. You can buy it on iTunes. Or, you can go HERE and listen for free. I suggest you do so immediately.

I also think that that would be a “good litmus test” for any relationship (romantic or otherwise) that you are in. If you can listen to that song together and both laugh until you pee just a little bit, then you guys are good. A good match in friendship or love. If you cannot, you may want to start looking for a new partners. (A concept origionally thought up by the fab Dooce and her video “litmus test.” Though I must say that she and I could never date because I did NOT UNDERSTAND THAT VIDEO.)

Hopefully this little link finds you STD-free. If you are not, tell that new partner you are searching for because your last boyfriend thought you were crazy for finding this song hilarious.

This is the most beautiful piece ever written:

LA Times Opinion Column – Palin: Wrong Woman, Wrong Message by Gloria Steinem

It was written by Gloria Steinem, who besides being one of my idols, managed to say exactly what I have been trying to say for the past few weeks. So I’ll let her say it:

Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It’s about making life more fair for women everywhere. It’s not about a piece of the existing pie; there are too many of us for that. It’s about baking a new pie.

And, my favorite:

Gloria Steinem is an author, feminist organizer and co-founder of the Women’s Media Center. She supported Hillary Clinton and is now supporting Barack Obama.

Definitely worth watching

They give you a word and sixty seconds, then they post the results. My word was Daisy. Here’s what I got:

a flower. em’s favorite. colorful and beautiful, easy to love, easy to describe. perfect for most occasions. it looks like summer, and smiles like an old friend. childlike and and not fit for adults, who don’t know how to have fun anymore.

I honestly didn’t think about what I was writing, which is not something I’m usually very good at. I tend to over think every aspect of my life, and creativity is no exception. Even starting this blog was hard enough. I always think what I’m writing (or drawing, or baking or sewing) isn’t good enough to be shared, let alone in existence. Posts are deleted, drawings are crumpled and baking is deserted with enough time for me to run to Safeway, pick up a cake, and take it out of the box, so I can pretend that I made it.
