And she slammed Steve Irvin, too.

Alrighty, then! (cracking knuckles) I'm back in school, I have my sights set on a goal that will utilize my brain, I've started being better about keeping the house picked up (which elevates the house out of "squalor" and into "basically fit for inhabitation"), I survived a week in Europe with no luggage and winter is finally over and it's green and sunny outside my window. Alrighty then.

The artificial color is completely gone from my hair. Amen and amen.

Germaine Greer is a goddess. Behold:

Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.

And behold:

The misery of the middle-aged woman is a gray and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.

"Gypped by consumer society." Buy this mascara! It will finally give you Those Lashes! It will! We tell you this with a straight face even though we fully understand that this mascara is just the same shit you've been buying repeatedly for years in hopes that THIS ONE really will be different! Don't pay any attention to that freak Einstein saying that you're insane because you keep doing the same thing repeatedly, expecting different results! He had horrible, horrible hair. Are you going to listen to someone with hair like that? Puh-leeze.

Then you wake up and you're in your 40's and on top of having spent the equivalent of your phone bill on MASCARA, you also have wrinkles and feel the need to put slimey crap on your hay-ed because for some reason hair that's a shade of red that doesn't exist in nature and totally clashes with your skin and eyebrows is PRETTY. And you think it makes you look younger, but you in reality look like a middle-aged woman who is stupid enough to think that a really bizarre color of hair will make everyone see you as 18 years old. And then you keep going and going and going and you'll be in your 60's with hair that looks like it's been coated with shoe polish and you'll be deeper in debt because, you sucker, you KEPT BUYING MORE MASCARA.

And she pointed out that when one pisses off animals for a living, one is destined to die badly. Sometimes logic isn't popular, but it's right.
