Obama's White House Council on Women and Girls!!

I have my very first acupuncture appointment tomorrow.  I'm not nervous, despite the fact that I can't really remember the last time I actually chose to watch any needle that had to enter my body.  At first, Bill and I were willing to lay $100 or so down on a visit to an acupuncturist because of its almost guaranteed effectiveness and the fact that ( Read more... )

Dreams are weird.  Or rather, curried anything gives me weird dreams.  It makes me wonder about the vivid imagination I had in my sleep when I was a child and I still lived in Trinidad.

The other day, I had a very vivid lucid dream, sort of.  In the dream, I had a series of macabre tasks to perform, like a very muted Japanese take on Saw, if Saw  ( Read more... )

Obviously, this isn't the entry you read first, unless you're some kind of rebel, some kind of lame, ineffectual rebel.
