No Pity. No Shame. No Silence.

I wondered for a moment what it would look like if just for one day, everyone who had survived sexual violence were visible as a survivor, if we could actually see the extent of it, if we could all know just how very not-alone we are. I wondered how angry and sad it would make me to know. I wondered how much power there might be in the truth.

I'm Meredith. I'm a survivor of sexual violence.
No Pity. No Shame. No Silence.

pass it on.

i just signed the offer letter.

nice offer, too. a bit more than i expected.

i am once again among the ranks of the employed, NO FUCKING THANKS TO GEORGE W. BUSH.

sigh.

you know what's the most pathetic thing about my current need for professional cleaning assistance?

i'll have to wash all my cleaning rags before they come, because the disposal leaked and got them wet and they're all mildewy. (the service uses my cleaning supplies instead of bringing them, thus ensuring that, for instance, nothing toxic gets left in the toilet bowl where the cats are likely to ingest it.)

sad, sad, sad.

say it ain't so!

from SFGate's Daily Dish:

BANA TO BECOME NEXT BOND?
Australian actor Eric Bana reportedly is set to be the next James Bond -- beating Jude Law, Orlando Bloom and Heath Ledger for the part of the British spy.
The "The Hulk" star, 35, is still in negotiations with movie bosses to take over the coveted role from Pierce Brosnan in the next installment, which sees 007 on a mission to save the world from a killer virus.

A source says, "Eric is the guy they want but he has a reputation for being demanding.

"They want to modernize Bond and turn him into a youthful, suave and modern hero to compete with the likes of "Spider-Man" and Keanu (Reeves) in 'The Matrix.'

Bana is married to TV publicist Rebecca Gleeson and they have two children together -- Klaus, 5, and Sophia, 2.

*pounds head repeatedly against monitor*

i'm not sure which is worse -- that they want to "turn him into a youthful, suave and modern hero," or that they're talking to Eric Bana about the role. i mean, my ass hair acts better than Eric Bana. shit, i wouldn't even have approved of Orlando Bloom in the part -- he's just too young and too pretty. but Eric "I'm not even a convincing Bruce Banner" Bana?

kill me now. i can't bear the pain of it.

addendum: where did this Bana guy come from anyway? i'd never even heard of him before Hulk, then suddenly he's co-starring with Brad Pitt and the next thing i know he's in talks to play Bond. and yet, he already has a rep for being demanding? i'm thinkin', this guy must have blown somebody important.

P.S. and his ears fucking stick out. 007 does not have ears that stick out.
