Why are There more Male Comedians than Female?


Colbert fans in the Bay Area, listen up! Let's go to the SF zoo to see "Stephen junior" and film a segment for the show! Great idea, huh?

An excess of asparagus. That's the theme for tonight's dinner. I like it, but seven or eight stalks is too much. I'll go put it in the fridge for manana.

I've applied to a total of about 10 internships so far. It's helping me get a feel for what jobs appeal and which do not. I don't think I'm a future journalist; I'd rather do editorials than shove a microphone into someone's face with personal questions, fighting off competitive coworkers in the meantime. I don't really care about covering what's happening at City Hall or whose second grade kid's mom filed a sexual harassment suit against the school custodian.

International stuff I totally dig, and social work. Meaningful one-on-one contact with other people. I feel like my life has been so deprived of meaning that I crave it everywhere I go, and have little tolerance for shallowness. Every organization to which I've applied is international, humanitarian-based work--working with victims of political torture, rape survivors in Rwanda, etc .

Hi Diana, I don't know why?

There are more male most things
Except midwives, nuns, housewives, nurses, waitresses, vegas dancers, fashion models, topless models,...

And of course mothers, the exclusive realm of women or females

It is not about what you are
But WHO you are
and what YOU want to be,

Wishing you a lovely day! - Q.

Trimming the Fat

weeding through my entire blog--there are almost 1400 posts! quality over quantity; getting rid of stuff that seems irrelevent or misplaced or superfluous or otherwise dissatisfactory. saw a great documentary on the History Channel today about Hitler's family. turns out there are still a few living in the US! they've also had a good series on the SS, but, most importantly, tomorrow night they start the entire " Band of Brothers " series! i never tire of watching it. literally! i'm 15 pounds lighter with muscle to boot. can't believe it. cutting sugar and flour really works. started bob tonight, just love it. i'd like to get the soundtrack. dentist on friday. i'd like to get my blog to about 1000 posts. quite time consuming. turning in is the answer, not out. growth, expansion, new life. it's about time. i am so stale, and i can hardly breathe in here. the window hasn't been open for ages, and i cannot feel fresh air on my face or see the out...

We Are Human

it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.

The Clear Light of Day

my mom helped me put a piece of the puzzle into place today. it's all about clarity; and the more clearly i see it for what it really is, the more able i am to let go of it. we had talked about abuse and repeating behavior patterns, etc., and agreed that we were both committed to doing things differently. the abuse began to sneak in, though, and i can see that sh*t coming a mile away and knew exactly what it was when it hit. and, i didn't believe it. in retrospect, that's what it was. a kink in her operating system she wasn't dealing with. automatic danger. it's one thing if folks are prepared to deal with all of their stuff, but if they're in denial about anything, it's just going to get larger and larger until something is done. it was always going to go in just one direction. the signs were there. there really is such a thing as "too good to be true." if that's "too good to be true," then what's the real deal? where...
