I don't normally post stuff about political activism here, and I'm not even sure I'll go to this myself. I believe there are different kinds of activism suited for different people, and I don't really consider myself a demonstrating-type activist. But I've been feeling more and more uneasy about the state of the world recently, and especially the ( Read more... )

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. :D :D :D :D You know it's a good moment when you're changing your icons, and you realize that out of the 200 or so icons you have, you don't have one happy enough for this occasion ( Read more... )

Wow...almost a month since I've updated here. That's real evidence that life has been kicking my ass. :) But it's getting better now, so I am back. Let's start with what's really important, though: Heroes.

( Spoilers for the last four episodes of Heroes, mostly 'Angels and Monsters' and 'Dying of the Light'...Wow, I'm behind on these updates. )

I've done a lot so far this weekend! And I still have the Jane Austen tea room trip tomorrow left to go (plus a group meeting for the PostModern Fiction Assignment of Doom), but I figured this entry is going to be long enough as it is without waiting until tomorrow evening to write it. I'll try to sum up as briefly as possible ( Read more... )

I learned today about a really unfortunate occurrence that happened on campus, which centers around racial discrimination. One of my classmates organized a fashion show this semester, which was held a couple of weeks ago. The student, like most of the show's organizers, is black (although the models were of all different races). Apparently, on the ( Read more... )

Tonight I went to a showing of "The Business of Being Born," a documentary on birthing options that my friend Caitlin F. brought to campus. It made me think about having kids of my own, and how I imagine that experience to be. I don't really think about it all that much. I do occasionally think generally about being a mom, and I know that I don't ( Read more... )

Finally, I'm getting around to making this big informative update I keep promising. Gen and I got back from our various activities awhile ago, and we're going to watch a "Firefly" episode a bit later, but she has some work she needs to finish first. So I have some time to kill, and what do I do? Post on lj ( Read more... )

Just finished mailing in my absentee ballot for the primaries! Too bad I don't get an "I voted" sticker since I didn't vote in person. :( But it was a pretty exciting thing. I always feel unprepared for voting, and didn't even know who I was going to decide on until this morning. It's a momentous occasion for America- it looks likely that we'll ( Read more... )

So I noticed that if I wait until later tonight to update lj, it will be my third "Heroes"-related post in a row. And while that's all well and good, it might be nice if I were to update on, say, something else! So here are some things I've been thinking about recently:

( As you can see, I put them under a cut, because it ended up being longer than I thought. )

I meant to post, like, last Monday to talk about the previous weekend, but just kept putting it off until I got to today. That makes this post a little longer, but oh well...I'll try to keep it to a reasonable length ( Read more... )
