...except for the part where I never announced this lj break in the first place. whoops.

Anyway, I really am making a commitment to more updating (possibly on a schedule, like once a week or something). But before I jump into clearing the backlog, I've got a short PSA to make. badoingdoing, conana, and I are starting a reading/discussion group on gender theory, and

Welcome back! Also, yarg. I'd be all over that reading group thing, med school notwithstanding, but y'all are still 3000 miles away and no one's invented a decent teleport closet yet.

Yeah, I'm offering to write about stuff primarily for people like you and glasser, who've expresesd interest but are not around, and also for people who are interested but don't have time. The readings probably won't be drastically groundbreaking if you're already into the topic, but I'm using it as a spur to get me to actually read rather than just daydream.

Yeah, I think I could really use a prod to get out and read/re-read more gender theory. So you're planning to write about what y'all are reading? That would rock. If I'm really good, if you let me know what you're looking at at any given time, I could probably track down the books myself and read along from the west coast. :)

Also, recommendation: Despite the silly name, I liked PoMoSexuals, by Carol Queen & others.

Oh man, please come as soon as you figure out that teleport thing! I wants to see you!

I'll let you know, but all signs point to "technology fails me" so far. There are these things called "airplanes", though, which sometimes make sense if you've got some extra days to spare. :)

And maybe in a couple of months I'll even have some idea whether I'll have crash-space to offer in the future. *sigh*
