Here Is A Good Post About Female Power

Vulvic. It SHOULD open a new window when you click on it. The female “equivalent” (bleah!) for ‘phallic’. Here’s the part where she defines it:

“I need these words to help me answer another question: What is the female equivalent of phallic? It can’t be vaginal, which sounds as clinically medical as penile or testicular. It better not be hysteric, which, derived from the Greek word for womb, has too many negative connotations. Phallic refers not just to genitalia but the symbolic power of masculinity. What is the female equivalent, what word refers not only to genitalia but the symbolic power of femaleness? And what is that power? If such a word already exists, I don’t think I’ve heard it, and so I propose a word: vulvic. I want to invoke the power to unsettle present in the word cunt. I want a word involving not just a sacred space but a sacred presence.”

Don’t just read that, read the entire page, using the link I provided above 🙂

I Had A Dream Last Night

where Chobee came home. And he was thin, because he hadn’t been eating much (Chobee always looked like he’d swallowed a volley-ball. He was a fat kitty). But he’d come home! And I was happy, and Le Doggie was happy (our doggie misses Chobee too). And Rudy was happy.

And now I’m crying about my Kitty being gone again.

Damn it, I miss my kitty.

Just For Tonite, I Am A Happy Woman

What with all the craziness of life, sometimes things can be okay. Rudy was feeling pretty good tonite, so I seduced him 🙂

For the first time in about 2 1/2 years, he was able to make love to me. And, while I didn’t achieve orgasm, that’s ok. It was super duper wonderful good just to make love to my husband again.

The universe feels all right just now.

Union Of Knives

I listen to a fair amount of music- a fair and strange mix. My musical tastes are fairly mainstream and yet fairly eclectic* as well. I like Schubert, Beethoven, Ravel, etc etc etc. I like the Sex pistols. Air Supply. Devo. The Stranglers. Oingo Boingo. Corey Hart. Paul Simon. Talking Heads (I sucked a LOT of penis at parties while listening to Talking Heads). All the way up to today, listening to: Gwen Stefani, P!nk, etc etc etc.

What I am FASCINATED with lately 🙂 is music by a group called Union Of Knives. Very DARK music. If you check out (as of this writing) their site, www.unionofknives.com they have a short movie based on three of their songs- like an extended music video. Very dark. Includes domestic abuse, a murder, and a body disposal.

Good stuff.

On This Day In History: Nothing happened. Weird.

My Kitty Chobee Is Gone

Yesterday was our anniversary- Rudy and I have been married for 5 years now. And, for the first time, including our wedding day, neither of us was sick or in the hospital! WOW! And the weather was GREAT! It snowed on our wedding day five years back. It was crazy.

So we went out to see the new Sandra Bullock movie, PREMONITION. Good movie, BTW. But before we left, I was petting Chobee. But I had to take Le Doggie outside first. And when we got back, we had to bring in O2 tanks, so there was some in-and-outing.

And last night, before bed, I realised I hadn’t seen Chobee in a few hours. And I searched the apartment.

No Chobee.

I hoped maybe he’d be at the porch when I got up this morning.

No Chobee.

So Le Doggie (his real name is Romeo, but given my weird penchant toward silly names, how often do you think I refer to him by actual name?) and I just spent a half hour wandering the apartment complex grounds searching for kitty.

No Chobee.

So I am kinda hoping that he just Shows Up outside, or Chobee is gone. Sigh.

I WILL cry about this very soon.

Why, Yes, I DO Worry About My Stomach Lining

Because of my back pain (I am permanently partially disabled because of a back injury, and currently am receiving disability from le gov’t), I take a “cocktail” of Over-The-Counter medications. At any one time, I will wash down a handful of: 2 Tylenol, 2 naproxen sodium (Aleve), and 4 200mg tabs of ibuprofen. The naproxen I take only once a day. The Tylenol up to 4 times a day (maximum safe dosage for an adult my age: 4 grams q24 hours). The 800 mgs ibuprofen- three times a day.

((Medical abbrevs. for the above: apap 1g q.i.d., naproxen sodium 440 mg qd, ibuprofen 800 mg t.i.d.))

Now, this is harsh on your stomach. And they have done studies that show 70% of people who TAKE NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) painkillers (ibuprofen, etc) have small intestine damage.

AND! That if you take NSAID painkillers WHILE you take anti-depressants (and I take 60 mgs Cymbalta twice a day- maximum adult dosage) you increase your chance of internal bleeding FROM the NSAID up to 700%.

Oy fucking Vey.
