Do you like “manly” men?
I stumbled across what I fear may be an anti-feminist blog. I went ahead and posted a comment anyhow because this particular post didn’t offend me. Hopefully I have not added energy to the dark side. (imagine “dark side” said into a fan for the right effect.) Here are my edited comments about Research on [...]
Rat Park (part 2)
My plans for rat park rather than rat cage living written a couple months ago: One night a week at a track club: I like running every now and then- I especially like running fast and this track work out is dedicated to speed work. Dancing: My favorite dance company in my town has moved [...]
Rat park
I wrote the following during this last Christmas season. I had just decided to go back home rather than to my Granddad’s house in another town. How has your holiday vacation been? (I hope you’ve had some holiday vacation!) I’ve been thinking about the coming year. What I think I should be doing is looking [...]
Super silly radio show mix (nope, cat picture instead)
Just messin’ about the other night. Game: one person is the interviewer, one is the interviewee, no pre-planning. Result: 5 minutes of radio listening- frequent channel changes. I hope you enjoy it! We did! :) Oh bummer… the file is too big. Ok, instead, I’ve attached a picture of our cat visitor. S/he came back [...]
My tooth fairy writes a letter
My mom is upset about the costly dental work I just had done that not only did not accomplish the objective of improving my bite, but left my previously pain free mouth with three tender teeth. I just figured I would cut my losses and move to Canada or France, but she thinks I should [...]
Caucus thoughts
It’s very exciting. Who I like: Republicans: John McCain- he knows what he’s doing and he is a good person with a solidly ethical record. If I wasn’t so set on voting for a Democrat, I might vote for him, which I could do in good conscious. I so hope he is the Republican nominee. [...]
That darned ACLU
You give one charity $25 and before you know it, Anthony D. Romero from ACLU is writing you compelling donation letters. And you can say to the letter, “Look, I know I donated to you once, but I just quit my job and Christmas is coming up.” To which Anthony responds, “At the heart of [...]
Is your bucket half full or half empty? or How I used a bookstore and some onion rings to feel better
Written December 22, 2005 There is an interesting study in the book How Full Is Your Bucket? Positive Strategies for Work and Life by Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton. It talks about POW’s becoming hopeless just because they lose a sense of camaraderie. So, to prevent curling up in a corner and dying (POW [...]
Is your biggest project yourself?
When I was looking for Fat is a Feminist Issue in a bookstore the other day, I saw a book called The Body Project. It was all about the history of teenage girls and their relationship with their bodies. I don’t know if you know any teenage girls well. I know girls at my church [...]
Neo-Cortex vs Limbic
Hey all ya’ll! It’s been awhile. I’m still looking for a place to live so that I can get to my new job easily. When I’ve had spare time I’ve been looking up rooms and apartments, calling places, and visiting them. It feels like a microcosm of looking for a husband. I see a lot [...]
