This is a really fucked-up way to make a living

banner

This week on my Sex Column (which is satirical and relatively safe for work if your boss isn’t a total dick):

    This week on my mommy blog on the Houston Chronicle:

  • Some guy said I was a bad mother right after I said I was a bad mother and then I made fun of him in the comments section and I feel a little guilty about that but don’t make it so fucking easy, dude.
  • .

    This week on the internets:

    • I gave a live interview at Blogher and like 10 seconds before it went live I was told that I’m not allowed to curse and the guy interviewing me says something about praising God and then I kind of panicked and blathered on mindlessly because all I could think was “Don’t say ‘fuck’ out loud“.   Also, it’s a really long, not funny interview but if you skip to the three minute mark you’ll hear me saying good things about you.  Because I fucking love you.

    This week on shit-I-didn’t-write-but-wish-I did-because-it’s-kind-of-awesome:

    The end.

    1. I am not sure that I’ll ever be able to eat calamari again. Who wants to eat something while wondering if some guy has recently put his junk in it?

    2. I just must say that while I think the squid guy is a complete lunatic, he has a good point at the end there, bceause in fact, i DO think that having a sea animal inserted into your genitals is something you should prepare for. perhaps with electroshock therapy.
      Also, burning bloody towels in an open field is a good solution, but sometimes it is useful to keep a few safely hidden in case you ever need to frame someone.

    3. Seriously, the squid? And who was that guy on the Mommy blog? I mean, besides an asshole? My parents didn’t teach ME to tie my shoes. My kindergarten teacher did. It’s even on my report card. Asshole. (HIM, not my mom or kindergarten teacher…they are both great people).

    4. You do a lot of shit. And not shit in the literal sense (cause I have no idea how much you shit) you know, a lot of stuff everyweek. How do you find the time??

      I so want your life. I’m totally bored with mine.

    5. Squid, masturbation and sex – those three words should never be used in any sentences together!

      Thanks for the heads up about FMylife – I’ve so wasted my day laughing my ass off over other peoples’ misery.

    6. LOL I love the link to your Mum finding out about emoticons – it’s so unbelievably cute! Except now I guess conversations with her take longer to read because you’ve got to get past all the emoticons 😛

    7. My current addiction is “Vie de Merde,” (literally “life of s**t in French.) It’s the French version of “F My Life.” Except that instead of feeling all dirty and voyeuristic like I do when I indulge in the English site, I can be all, “This is EDUCATIONAL! I’m studying French!” I’m pretty sure intensive foreign language learning about condoms and big butts makes me a cultured person.

      P.S. Did you know that the French words for “condom” and “overcoat” are the same? See how enlightening I am now?

    8. Your BlogTalk radio interview is on a loop on their site. So I just keep it playinging a second tab in my web browser and screamed, “Wolverines!” from time to time because I can’t say that in Ohio State territory – I’ll get jumped. I’ll let you say the things I can’t for me.

    9. Jenny you really need to talk faster. Cuz I could almost make out what you were saying. Like I heard “Wolverines” and”she’s messed up”……which I think is like the cliff notes version right?

      And yes we are the most smartest and fabulous people.
      And some of us can be assholes too.
      So there is that.

    10. i totally still tie my shoes with two bows and my husband makes constant fun of me for it. I think I may utalize some of that other advice and burn him in a field, I mean the towls, I mean….well hell my defense will be based on the two bows of shoe tying that eventually drove me crazy and then everyone will be happy that their kids can not tie their shoes. You’re Welcome.

    11. I love garfunkle and oates! My favorite song by them, which you should listen to btw, is pregnant women are smug. Because i feel i can relate to it hahaha.

    12. You are hilarious….congrats on the interview. Man, the fastest way to get someone to swear is to tell them not to! It’s like telling a kid not to hit their brother: MUST HIT BROTHER NOW! WHERE IS HE? MUST DESTROY…

    13. I have lurked on your site for a while, but I am popping on the scene to say that I thought you did a GREAT job on your radio interview. You sound so pretty and intelligent it was awesome.
      I am sometimes amazed and embarrassed by the things you write, but you ALWAYS make me laugh so I can’t help but keep coming back. So thanks!

    14. Another great post but that’s not why I’m leaving a comment. Just wanted to let you know that I got “un-friended” on Facebook because you’re listed as one of my favorite blogs on my Networked Blogs banner. High five! Thought you’d be happy to know that there is one less easily offended, humorless person on my Facebook news feed. Way to go Jenny! Keep on screening out the REAL crazies for me. Thanks!

    15. Uh so Jenny – what’re you trying to tell me about Steve? HUH??? Just come out and say it don’t dedicate a song…

    16. Your husband is just an irresponsible guy you should make him feel about his mistakes he commits everyday and with much softness and politeness that he doesn’t mind at all. Make him a habit of putting every thing on its proper place but gradually his habits will be changed make him realize his responsibilities in the house that you both have to live together for a life time .I know you love him a lot he is your husband you just keep loving and caring him like a cute and lovely wife you are a responsible girl just not hate him of what he does throwing wet towel on the floor is not a big issue you just be patient and be calm everything will be alright dear just do what i said and you will see incredible results.
