A sad day at NDSU

Nope, no climate problems here. Racism, sexism all mixed up with homophobia... Funny, right? I mean, who can't laugh at little blackface white kid getting a lap dance while a couple of boys simulate gay cowboy sex Brokeback Mountain style? Clearly we can all see the humor there. So funny that we were in the top 10 popular stories on CNN, as well as coverage on ABC, FOX, the Boston Herald, and countless local news media outlets around the country. A proud moment for sure.

5 years??

Weapons of mass destruction- where??
Capture Saddam Hussein- done.
Freeing the Iraqi people- does that include killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, including children?
So what is the deal 5 years after invading Iraq? Which news do we believe? You can believe this story- and trust that my own puppy for peace and I ventured out in the chilly weather on this anniversary.

It's St Patty's Day and I wore blue.

The parade was Saturday and I wore green then. My dog is smart and knows his right from his left. I am sore from Sunday yoga and Monday spin class, which will likely continue with Wednesday spin class. I am so tired but have too much work for sleep. Did that sentence even make sense? Why does this town have such a serious shortage of lesbians? Seriously. I had a rather bizarre weekend of events. I apparently don't know how to spell bizarre, thank goodness for spellcheck. I apparently can't spell spellcheck either. Did I mention how tired I am? My parents want to come visit. My parents want to come visit? My mother who wanted me to drop out of grad school and opt for fix-the-gays-camp is coming to visit? Really? This is a short week, and it's almost Tuesday, so only 3 more days till the weekend. At which time I will continue dissertating. I think I am grinding my teeth at night. I think I have too much going on in my head.

P.S. I love Juno.

Rep Sally Kerns gives me nightmares.

Disgusting. Listen to what Oklahoma legislator Sally Kerns had to say when she thought no one was listening. This has made its way onto many-a-blog, and I hope it continues to circulate. Feel free to give ole Sally a call at 405-557-7348 or email her at sallykern@okhouse.gov and let her know what you think of her words. Check out the Victory Fund who works to support openly GLBT polical candidates. Because the gays are taking over. And they want your 2 year olds.

Warm. Cool.

While there was a certain chill when I got to receive more less than thrilling news about my job today... the weather outside hit above freezing. 35 degrees out- awww yeah. A heat wave!

Thoughts bouncing in my head

Is there such thing as too much coffee? My fingertips are cold. This is the 3rd day in a row I am wearing pj's past noon. Reading gender and queer theory doesn't feel like work. I should take a shower today. Why hasn't the snow plow fairy come and taken care of my blasted driveway? My least favorite parts of home ownership- repairs and shoveling. Should I shower before or after I shovel? Tough decisions. I need to take the recycling. I should go to the gym. I am against stretchy pants. I tend to lay low, but drama ensues around me... people are silly, really. Should I subscribe to Bust or Bitch magazine? I should do my taxes sooner than later? Do I bother to buy a program or use a free one? Am I going to do this correctly?! Oie. That 1-1-1-1-1 pancake recipe isn't half bad. I didn't get nearly as much stuff done last week as I needed to to. My dissertation gives my anxiety. I think I might make my yummy tomato soup. I love all my online applications, but it is scary how big brother can really be watching EVERYTHING. Good thing I am not affiliated with the mafia. I am excited for Women's Week, I just wish there was more time in the day to get everything done and have a good time. I am not happy about loosing an hour last night, though more daylight will be nice. Aw fuck it. I'm paying to have the driveway plowed. Does that make me lazy? It is 14 degrees out. It's nice to live alone, but sometimes it's not. Hmmm...

You Are Chardonnay

Fresh, spirited, and classic - you have many facets to your personality. You can be sweet and light. Or deep and complex. You have a little bit of something to offer everyone... no wonder you're so popular. Approachable and never smug, you are easy to get to know (and love!). Deep down you are: Dependable and modest Your partying style: Understated and polite Your company is enjoyed best with: Cold or wild meat

What Kind of Wine Are You?
