When the boys were little and forever standing in front of the refrigerator I used this write-on wipe-off board to suggest some foods they might want to eat. I am just SURE I wrote down healthy choices, simple things that I kept on hand that they could prepare themselves. Like tofu, and tabouleh.

I’m just kidding. Things like cheese and crackers, celery sticks and peanut butter, ham sandwiches, and stuff like that. I haven’t done it in years, though, and we’ve moved the write-on wipe-off board to the side of the fridge and ignored it.

Until recently, when I happened to see that the Ice had renewed the practice. When I saw it I had to laugh, because this is definitely the kind of thing they most love to eat, and it’s true that I buy all this stuff for them. There isn’t a single item on there other than fruit and oatmeal that I will eat myself, but that’s okay. I’m pretty comfy in my “Bad Mommy” outfit.

It comes with a ripped black sash and bayonet-style wand, which I adore.

The Porn Myth

This is an incredibly well-written article describing how the world has indeed become pornographized, a situation which has deadened men to real women, “for how can a real woman… possibly compete with a cybervision of perfection, downloadable and extinguishable at will, who comes, so to speak, utterly submissive and tailored to the consumer’s least specification?” [...]

Mysteries of the Universe Explained in Pictogram

March 10, 2007

The boys received a sample of Axe Clix shower gel in the mail. The Maker, attracted by the shiny black packaging and bold graphics, asked me what it was for. “Well,” I told him, turning over the package to show him the instructions, “first you shower, then girls want to hang around you.” Silently I [...]
