Judith Regan at the Bunny Ranch

As Jesus’ General points out, it looks like Judith has had to pursue alternative career paths since her historic and histrionic flameout over the OJ I Did So Do It But Rupert Says I’m Not Allowed to Tell You debacle. She and Heidi could tag-team as a novelty cougar act, come to think of it.

take this job and…

…give it to someone else.

Oh, fine. I obviously had some issues with the whole work-for-no-pay-yet-be-taxed-on-it thang. Next!

Leaving the Psychoanalyst, by Remedios Varo

I’m funny that way. Maybe Guido has at last made a Capitalist of me?

Nah.

Here, listen to some rousing folk rock about the military-industrial complex, creeping fascism, and the IMF. I always find that cures it.

And by the way, there’s already a fat, ripe emergency for the new hiree to deal with and no, I didn’t cause it. So for that reason alone I’m glad I didn’t get the job.

Also, oh god how I love that painting. “Woman Leaving the Psychoanalyst’s Office” by Remedios Varo.

maslow’s hierarchy of needs, megalomaniacal blogger edition

Maslow's Hierarchy of Writer's Needs, click for full size

Found via a loopy stagger around and off sulz‘s blog. Cross-posted to running through rain.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is more well-known than well-understood, but now any old Myspace slacker still straight enough to click a quiz without having to close one eye and move his lips while watching YouTube can find out how self-realized s/he may be without all that icky “reading for comprehension” stuff that just slows us down.

The internet moves at the speed of thought. Which explains why it takes this blog so long to load, eh?

Maslow's real hierarchy of civilian needs although who cares about the plebes, eh?

On the one hand, I had a job interview today, yay, go me, etc, etc, whatever.

On the other hand, if I get the job I will earn money, but I will not now, nor in the future, actually receive the money.
