(no subject)
Back from Halifax and already the excitement begins. I went to a social event and then to class last night. Our prof might have to leave because of illness and someone else might be teaching the course. I'll know by Monday.
I had so much email I deleted all the conversational listserv entries. So if something incredible happened while I was gone, I don't know about it. I'm on a lot of lists.
Also, I got an amail from a member of a list I'm on that my newly-installed Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition softwear flagged and quarrantined. It was bugbear. I don't think the email was malicious; the text was just a random line from a post she had made to a list to which we both belong. I don't actually even know her, apart from the list. I tried to send her an fyi about the virus, but her address is now down. Thank-you University of Toronto for getting me free Norton. Thank-you me for having paid attention to virus warnings and checked months ago to see if I had the latest edition of my softwear which closed the loopholes bugbear uses. Go me!
Now I'm trying to use the weekend to get myself organized and do my homework and maybe (dare I dream) get some work done on my papers for this term. My papers thus far as I imagine them are as follows:
1) For my Foucault class, a Geneology of Bisexual visibility
2) For my Feminist ethics in theology class: Create a course outline and proposal for a class on bisexual voices in theology
3) For my Feminist theory class: Write a paper on some element (i haven't decided yet) of feminist ethics and bisexuality. Right now I'm thinking about looking at how enlightenment assumptions affect bisexual theor and organizing, and what feminist responses to the liberal enlightenment model have to offer, and how they are already being used in some places.
4) Also for feminist ethics, I have to write a feminist reflections journal. I've got notes, and I bought this really cool book to house the project: It's made by a company in Halifax called Re-cover ((recoverjournals@email.com). They take old discarded and damaged books and make them into notebooks. They cut off the hard covers and use them as te covers for the notebook, giving it a plastic spiral spine and filling it with an antiqued paper. Mine is Mystery at Boulder Point, by Eleanore M. Jewett.
Now I'm off to Bay centre for Birth Control. More exciting updates on Margaret later!
