While I might be a day late and a dollar short... It is worth mentioning that the anniversary of Roe v. Wade was Monday (1/22). Let's not forget the questionable state of the law and womens' (in)ability to make choices for their own lives and bodies.

In other news, well, maybe not so much news but a self-involved update on the life of me... dissertation data is collected! My productive venture to the Lonestar state proved to be worthwhile. I survived driving a PT Cruiser for 5 days, won Cranium (ah-hem beat the cheater and got to shake Shawna all about), watched a little L Word in good company, ate well, contemplated a new tattoo, and in between the interviewing madness caught up with some colleagues and friends. Twas a busy and fantastic trip. I think I even won over the chihuahua. Yet not once did I set foot into a certain lesbian establishment. Someone give me a halo.
