Word of the day: Misogynistic

I didn't know what misogynistic meant, but I've always liked learning new words. I learned that context is a good way to figure out what a word means, and so I thought well, the context is me! so it must mean something like awesome or clever or awesomest. But then obviously Anonymous must know what misogynist means because she used it in a sentence, which is what you do when you know what a word means, and she used it in context with creep, which in my opinion is not very awesome so I guess context was not the way to go here.
Sometimes you can figure out what a big word means by looking for smaller words inside it that you recognize. Miso-, well that's fermented bean paste, actually the japanese kind, you probably had miso soup before. The japanese miso is pretty tame, I think. The korean kind is called dwenjang, and it's pretty rank. If you're not korean and you like dwenjang jjigae, that's pretty impressive, because that's not your usual bibimbap or bbq meat that americans might eat when they feel like being exotic. (don't get me wrong tho, I love bibimbap and kalbi.)
-gynistic... this part kinda look like gynecologist... which I know is a .... ahem... a lady's hoo-ha doctor. So then if you put the two together, you get japanese lady's fermented bean paste hoo-ha. WTF??!! Ok, so I guess figuring out what the word means by looking at the root words won't work here, either. (although you might find it interesting that sushi, another japanese food, has a funny slang definition given the context of this blog post. I go to urbandictionary.com when I can't figure out what the heazy kids are saying these days)
So I just looked it up in a dictionary. (m-w.com, not urbandictionary) and I found
misogyny: a hatred of women
What?!! Noooo.... I don't hate women... I found out in middle school (hehe, good times) actually that I really like women. Maybe even a little too much. I'd probably go so far as to even say I looooove women. Maybe even more than I love tacos. Mmm... taaaaaaacos....

Everyone loves free!

Alright ladies, take a good look at this guy. If he were to knock on your door and offer you a free breast exam, would you accept? This is the type of farce news story you'd expect to see on a show like, Conan O'Brien, but it was actually a real story on Reuters! Almost every line in this story cracked me up. But I guess it was the picture that really made the story.

Alright ladies, now take a good look at the awesome looking guy in the green box over to the right. He's not sleazy enough (yet) to go door-to-door offering breast exams, but as of today he will be accepting appointments for you to come in and get your breasts groped and fondled to uh... check for tumors. Call today and we'll schedule you for a free session, and possibly make arrangements for regular uh... weekly checkups. Please note that he reserves the right to refuse service if you're ugly.

sit ups vs. sit downs

I remember when I did PE in grade school I could do close to 50 sit-ups in one minute. Some kids could do over 60! Sit-ups back then were so easy! Like taking a stride when running...
So how come now they're so hard??! Funny how they call them "sit"-ups, because even though now all I do all day is "sit", but it hurts even to do 10 of them, while back then sit-ups were so easy and we hated sitting. I guess that's where the "up" part comes in... Maybe the thick skin that's been building up in the area that hurts when I do sit-ups has something to do with it. I've asked it many times to go away. Oh how stubborn it is.

Ah-deek-ted-duh

I've become addicted to korean dramas. I feel like "drama" is a bad name for them, though. Because they're really funny. I think they're kinda like japanese anime, but using real actors instead of cartoon characters.
I watched some time ago "My Name is Kim Sam Soon", recently finished "Delightful Girl, Choon Hyang", and currently I'm in the middle of "Prince's First Love". Next up I think I'll watch "Which Star Are You From?" (Actually I already watched the first episode, hehe) I feel a little guilty for wasting so much time watching these silly series... each one is about 15 or so one hour episodes.
Don't try to use this as a point of contention regarding my masculinity; I have a good excuse. I'm watching them to try to improve my korean skillz. Hahahaha....

Till 6 in the morning

They're throwin' a wild party over in Washington tonight. They're bumpin' loud dance music, gettin' down, and you can bet the booze is flowin'. At some point in the evening they'll raise their drinks in a toast, to all the stupid taxpayers like me who pay taxes out the nose because they're too dumb or lazy to do smart things with their money.

mountaintop guru

A friend once told me you can find the answer to anything on the internet. I remember he had a job as a system administrator at turbo linux, and when I found that out about him, I was really surprised, because I didn't think he was the type that would know so much about computers. He said he didn't know anything, and basically found out everything he had to for his job on google groups, and that you could find the answer to any question you've ever had on there. I asked him, "can I find the answer to what's the meaning of life on google groups?" He said, "Probably."
Sometimes I'm really surprised by what I can find on the internet.
Anyway, urbandictionary.com is a pretty good place to look up meanings for slang.

O Canada!

just got back from toronto. i'm tired, but i guess i had a pretty good time. got to see niagara falls for the first time. i guess they're pretty big, but for some reason i thought they'd be even bigger. and i sorta thought they'd be out in the middle of nowhere, like yosemite, but there's like city all around it.
there was an imax theater, too, showing this cheesy movie about niagara falls that was made back in 1987. in the movie, they say there's a legend that there was a native american girl that went over the falls in a canoe because she didn't want to marry this ugly man, and they called her the maid of the mist. i tried searching on the internet to find out who played the maid of the mist in this movie, but i couldn't find it. i wonder if she went on to greater things in her acting career. maybe she went into porn. it seemed like she had two pretty big floatation devices, though her authentic looking native american garb might have made it seem that way more than they really were. anyway...
there was a casino next to niagara falls, and we had dinner at the buffet there, which looked huuuuuge when i walked in. so i was pretty excited about eating there... but once i made my first round i realized it was actually a lot smaller than it had seemed, and the food was pretty mediocre. we had to stay at the casino until 10, so i played some roulette and some coin slot machine. i think that because canadian money looks so much like play money, it's easier to lose. yes, that must have been it.
oh, and i also learned what a "cougar" is. man, canadians sure are funny.
