Question: how does Parks and Recreation keep topping itself every week? Sorry Community, I still love you part of the time, but this season you've been outmatched and outclassed in every way by your sister show.
If Parks doesn't mop it up at the Emmys - fuck Modern Family and Glee, seriously, even though I still enjoy the former - then the voters need to be summarily dispatched to Outer Mongolia.
Then there's this article from Wall Street (although I've seen the results editorialized upon several places) that attempts to neatly place female sexuality in the "warm, soft, fuzzy, rose-tinged, relationship-oriented" box by analyzing fan fiction and how many women subscribe to paid porn sites. We're all Miss Marples, don't you know, always assessing which sperms are the best for our fragile and monogamous ladyparts! We discuss romance in a community atmosphere (which isn't because talking about sex is hot, but because we're comparing notes on good father material for our future bbs!). And oh - if you're one of the women who DOES watch porn, you're really more of a dude anyway. Higher testosterone levels explain all that.
1. No note of how difficult it is to find porn that isn't horribly filmed, gross, and full of hideous dudes who just happen to have aberrant monster cocks
2. No mention of how most online porn is FREE and most of us aren't dumb enough to pay for it (because all of the data for female porn watching was taken from pay sites)
3. No attention to the fact that traditionally, reading erotica has been infinitely more socially acceptable for women than watching porn is. We're told we won't be turned on by porn! We're told nice girls don't watch it, and that it's nasty. But a heaving-chest bodice ripper? Pretty okay for the ladyfolk.
4. In the discussion of fic, complete ignorance of the fact that a lot of the erotic stuff is NOT long, drawn-out, or relationship-oriented, but is short, filthy, and to-the-point.
5. And of course, there's nothing wrong with liking character-driven, relationship-oriented light erotica as featured in romance novels. But attempting to consign the entirety of online female sexual expression to that cubicle is nothing short of condescending and fatuous.
Oh, and I have another date this afternoon. Now I'm really in the mood for a stressful, drawn-out, ridiculous chat over coffee.

This time, my beloved and ever-growing vinyl collection. Next time, dresses.
Super picture-heavy.

Paul Simon - "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" (1972)
Confession: I first heard this song when I watched The Royal Tenenbaums in 2002, since my parents denied me the pop music education to which children are entitled. But in all of the hundreds times I've played it since (according to last.fm, which is cool because I'm precise like that), it's never failed to put a big stupid grin on my face regardless of the situation. Maybe that's due to my only playing it when I'm happy to begin with, but I prefer to think of this song as aural Prozac.

Thank to everyone for voting in my poll! It came out a three-way tie, so I went with my gut instinct and made the deciding vote - just_so_stories. It's long, but I couldn't resist the combination of childhood memories and the colors. (uh, "j" is purple and "s" is yellow, so...yeah. only makes sense in my own brain.)
Again, thanks, and if you're not already following me on Twitter, feel free to do so.

I want to change my Twitter username, partly because I'm not in love with the one I have and partly because I've gotten grief over it (my mother: "WHY DOES IT SAY 'ANAL' IN YOUR NAME OMG OMG. TWICE. WHAT IS GOING ON???").
And you guys get to help me pick!
TY for your help in advance, bbs.

I have a feeling a lot of you will like this - alt/pop/guitar female vocalist with similarities to The Cardigans and Kate Bush.
(yes, I am sitting here listening to Steogum's March playlist like a smelly hipster)
