Things are going well. I've nailed down which classes I'm taking (History of Anthropology [required], Sociolinguistics, and Mexican Immigration) and am pleased with them. I'm on track to have papers that I can hopefully turn into articles or (at the least) presentations by the end of the semester. And this week, I've got to suck it up and really ( Read more... )

UNICEF's shirts are boring ( Read more... )

I lied when I said I would update about my sex life. But I will talk about other things which are more relevant to my life right now. Katherine is in Bath. Which makes me so happy. For those of you to whom I do not talk incessantly about her, she is my testarossa, my principessa, and I love her dearly. She got me watching/reading Jane Austen stuff ( Read more... )

I was at 88 Groveland tonight. It was a little surreal. First of all, there was a whole lot of estrogen. And comparatively little beer. And it was very neat. And not a dump. I barely recognized it, even from the outside ( Read more... )
