To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo.

-Valerie Solanas

Last night was spent listening to my Bikini Kill albums and reading Valerie Solanas.
SCUM manifesto, Ladies. For those of you not in the know, SCUM is an acronym for 'Society for Cutting Up Men'. But what SCUM really represents is'...the dominant, secure, self-confident, nasty, violent, selfish, independent, proud, thrill-seeking, free-wheeling, arrogant females, who consider themselves fit to rule the universe, who have freewheeled to the limits of this "society" and are ready to wheel on to something far beyond what it has to offer.'

I woke up to sunshine this morning for the first time in quite awhile. Everything was still covered in a layer of ice and the tree branches outside glistened. It was like God saying:

Mornin' Jenny. Things are grand. Look, I made everything sparkle for you.

And it was nice. And I have a lot more to offer.
