a general intro to french feminist philosopher, and writer, Helene Cixous.
"Women must write through their bodies,
they must invent the impregnable language
that will wreck partitions, classes, and rhetorics, regulations and codes."
-- Helene Cixous

"President Bush and energy magnate Montgomery Burns together
at Camp David. The President is said to have expressed
"great interest" in Burns' proposal to extinguish the sun."

don\'t ask. i have no idea. it seemed innocent enough at the time. ...
can\'t imagine now what possessed me, but, in the moment,
i just thought it was sorta cute.
\"terror alert banana\" it calls itself [for no apparent reason],
and under it, it said; \"gets yours now\".

so, wott da hell, i clicked . . .
and found no banana, no nothin\' at all but one line
on a plain white background, saying;
\"Now look what you did.\"

well. wtf. dunno what i did. but by then determined, for all my silly effort,
to get this damn dancing banana onto my page one way or another,
i just went back and photoblogged the crazy thing on the page where i originally found it.

heh. irritating, inn\'t. it may not be here long.

update (9/24/07); the banana has, apparently, quit dancing! i\'m unable to get it to do a single hipwiggle now! it just stands there, posed, but quiet... a mere shadow of its formerly happily-active self!
< > < > I\'m saddened....

UPDATE 2: 4/27/09 Well. Waddya know; Iiiiit\'s Baaack ... annnnd... dancing again! It\'s apparently feeling better. As am I ... about damn time, I say. & hello again stumblers! Been a long time!

oh, and by the way, meepzorp
[\"proud member of the reality-based community\" as it says]
is a pretty funny site.
i think. i meeeeean, i\'m not terribly sure i entirely get it.
though i do have the feeling that if i were a teenaged male,
i\'d probably understand it all deeply and completely,
and so, find it all hysterically funny.
not being one, however,
i\'m content to settle for the banana.

this world, insane as it currently is,
        can use all the help it can get:
        in activism,
        but also in thoughtfulness and prayers.

   Ok, yes, I do like it, or at least, I like looking at these,
   the end results of his efforts. They're quite fascinating ...
  in a troubling sort of way;
   the implied patience-to-the-nth-degree, the persistence,
  the sheer endurance and single-mindedness.
  So much so, in fact, that I can see a potential
   career for unmedicated obsessive-compulsives.

If I knew any, I'd pass out decks of cards
and stand back....

Oh. But, no. Of course I don't know any....
They undoubtedly have no time for socializing;
they're all too busy doing things like this.
