Florence of Arabia interprets the Spice Girls

How can you defend a child rapist?

Excuse me while I go find my soap box.

Okay. Woody Allen, David Lynch, Whoopi "it wasn't rape-rape and they had had sex before the not rape-rape incident" Goldberg and everybody else who defends Roman Polanski need to STFU and go DIAF. For fuck's sake. The man drugged and raped a 13-year-old and then the bastard ran away! That is what he did, no matter how famous he is or how good a film maker he is. And yes, the victim just wants the whole thing to go away which I sympathise with completely. This whole thing should have gone away thirty years ago. The reason it didn't is that Roman Polanski did not accept full responsibility for his actions. He belongs in prison.

Well said:





Also, *RAAAAAAAGE*

"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent"

I have nothing to say. Music I like recently:

Grouper

Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton

Today I thought, I should take advantage of the fact that I already know the (Arabic) alphabet and try to get ahead by starting on Hourani. Then I didn't. I am such a sensible person when it comes to planning. The problem is that time always sneaks out the back without telling me where it's going and there I stand like a fool, it is four o'clock in the afternoon, I am still in my pyjamas and I have gotten nothing done. Never mind. NARWHALS!

"Can I touch it?" - "NO!"

Around 3:18 - wow, the staff at my kindergarten should have seen this. Of course, they never bothered to ask if they could "touch it," they just went ahead and did it anyway. They really went for it too. They used to reach down and give it a good long ruffle. And you know what? When I expressly told them to stop, yeah you guessed right, they didn't. They just laughed and ruffled some more, even when I tried to run away from them. Because why should we respect cute little 4-year-old chilluns' personal space? If we want to invade it, they can't really do anything about it since us being adults means that in addition to being about twenty times stronger than them, we have a natural authority over them that makes it very hard for them to tell us to stop doing something they don't like to them. Of course that gives us the right to ruffle cute little caffè latte* chilluns' hair as much as we want (we'd probably do it to ~*exotic-looking*~ adults too if we could get away with it).

I know that they will never read this and if they do they won't know it's me, but since I never got to say this to them as a child even though I really, really wanted to, I'm going to say it now: FUCK. YOU. BITCHES. :D






*Don't refer to me as "caffè latte" or any other stupid name you come up with. No, I don't care how well meaning you are or how ~*beautiful*~ you think people of ~*mixed heritage*~ are. That's not the point, weirdo.

Yeah so anyway

I've had an idea for the sing-along blog for ages but I'm too lazy to write it up. Instead, here's a picspam.

I don't want to be part of your scene

omg yay

According to their respective websites they play on the same day (idgaf about the other bands). Fingers crossed, fingers crossed! I might be able to make it to this one (fingers crossed again, fingers crossed again), because Popaganda is in Stockholm, which is only 40 minutes away by train. The only problem is that it's around that time that I'm moving to Lund... Why must important things always get in the way of my life?

Oh, do marry me, Tracyanne.*
