Interesting Plane Journey

I´m currently killing time in a bus station in Marbella, so figured I´d post an update.  Especially given how neglected my poor blog and readers have been lately.  It´s a pity I have so much luggage and that it´s raining because I´ve heard Marbella is nice to walk around.
So anyway, having an interesting journey on [...]

Is It Worth It? An End to the Whole Saga

Shopping and fat-shaming

Last Saturday I went shopping with my cousin.  Big mistake.  I was looking for someone who had the stamina to last an entire day because I needed a hell of a lot of clothes.  My cousin agreed to come with me to take her mind off her newly found singledom.

If you don’t like it, leave – forum edition

My views on this have already been discussed.  See my earlier post for a full outline.  I’m only bringing it up again because a supposed ‘radical feminist’ forum that I am part of has started touting this kind of philosophy.
