Palinesque adj.

1 having the characteristics of a babbling, shallow cipher.

2 a quality that encourages inexplicable fandom from segments of the populace exhibiting an intense need to have their prejudices and fears legitimized in a public forum by a teased-haired rural caricature.

3 a bizarre form of self-aggrandizement coupled with a terminal lack of self-awareness that can result in difficulty in focusing, an inability to complete tasks, bad pronunciation, and the inclination to depart from certain locales because there are too many Asians.

4 relating to the tendency to use gender, motherhood, and especially children as human shields in order to deflect any and all criticisms about your character and aptitude.

5 a reflexive mindset wherein mass communications trigger a deep-seated paranoia and the corresponding reactionary impulse to lash out via Facebook or Twitter in the manner that a teenage girl would.

6 the perverse habit of insisting to speak on camera despite the fact that visual and aural mediums do not become you.

7 emblematic of insecure timidity toward sophistication, intelligence, wit, and nuance because they’re highfalutin.

8 distinctive of a vulgar form of demagoguery reliant on coy mannerisms, colloquialisms, inflammatory buzz words, and content-free oration.

9 symptomatic of an unmitigated temerity that allows for the use of hastily-written crib notes on your hand for use as a crutch during a softball interview taking place after a speech in which you just berated a rival’s use of a Teleprompter.

(not mine, ganked from NightCharm...the best porn site in the world, because they have cute nekkid guys in addition to excellent things like this...and yes, when I ay "porn site" I mean "Porn Site"...don't go Googling it and then come back whining how you saw Hot Monkey Action because you'll get little sympathy here)

Quickie Quotes: Yoko Ono

"You should create only if you love to create – with no other intention. If you keep thinking you want your creation to be considered as art by others, you will make yourself sick."

Etsy Love Interview

Last week I was asked if I'd be interested in doing an interview for Etsy about couples who either met through Etsy, or who run a shop together.

Despite not being a big fan of interviews--I always feel somewhat self-conscious and goofy--I went for it!
