For others, though, BDSM fits hand in hand with &lt;a&gt;sex-positive feminism&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://cborden.tumblr.com/post/306622152</link><guid>http://cborden.tumblr.com/post/306622152</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Dec 2009 11:50:01 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>http://twitpic.com/voe6o -</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitpic.com/voe6o" target="_blank"&gt;http://twitpic.com/voe6o&lt;/a&gt; -&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://cborden.tumblr.com/post/305505426</link><guid>http://cborden.tumblr.com/post/305505426</guid><pubDate>Mon, 28 Dec 2009 20:09:26 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>I’m on a Mac (I’m on a Boat spoof) ft.

&lt;p&gt;I went to SF Appeal’s holiday party with my roomies Francis and Kira with the intention of dancing and consuming as much alcohol as I could without embarrassing myself—not necessarily in that order.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We were the first (among a very select group) of people to start dancing, so of course we attracted a few more hopping revelers. This includes one eager beaver we’ll call Shmoe Shmakura for the sake of his anonymity (and to not trigger a vanity Google alert). Shmoe was quite an enthusiastic (slightly spastic) and bold dancer, desirous of becoming fast friends with me and my 20-something girl friends. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“Do you all smoke?” he asked us.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I laughed. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“Yes!” Francis exclaimed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“Well, I’ve got  A LOT of weed, so let me know if you want to go outside and smoke some with me,” Shmoe said.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Francis made a vague promise about stepping out later, and we continued dancing. Throughout the night, we played an unintentional cat and mouse game with Shmoe in which he’d start dancing toward us and then we’d avoid making eye contact and turn our backs and then he’d manage to remind us HOW MUCH WEED he had on him. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In the interest of being friendly and finding out exactly how few people in PariSoma actually knew of SF Appeal, I asked him how he heard of the party. I don’t remember what he said, but he mentioned he freelanced for a big news corporation, but they stopped inviting him to their holiday party. I wonder why. Here is where he should have pulled out a business card. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Instead, Shmoe said, “I don’t have any business cards, but I do have holiday stickers with my information on them. Which is better because you can use the sticker too!”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He pulled out a Christmas tree sticker, about half the size of a business card. On the back, handwritten, read his full name, number, his email address (including the words “fabulous” and “baby”), and the following:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“Just Google my name!”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Oh, Shmoe, I kinda love you.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://cborden.tumblr.com/post/299048334</link><guid>http://cborden.tumblr.com/post/299048334</guid><pubDate>Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:17:05 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>I love how after I play “All I Want for Christmas Is You” iTunes shuffles up “Love...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I love how after I play “All I Want for Christmas Is You” iTunes shuffles up “Love Stinks.” Good call.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://cborden.tumblr.com/post/297896731</link><guid>http://cborden.tumblr.com/post/297896731</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:29:13 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Christmas Laser Beam Cats (via klusmanp)
