Well, some sucky news. The article I sent to GLQ has been rejected. Bummer. They felt the piece was too simplistic, and treated gays and lesbian community as monolithic. I agree with them on that. It was, and it did. I don't know what I'll do with that ( Read more... )

The new copy of Siren is out. Wow. It surpassed all my wildest dreams in the biting and sucking department. There are come good qualities. The cover is nice. The colours look good. Most of the type looks ok. The suck list begins there, however. It's only 20 pages long instead of 40. It's really blurry. As a former newspaper layout person ( Read more... )

Lately I have been talking people into writing books. First I tried to make misslynx write a book about Wicca. She'd be great at that. Now I've tried to talk the writer of the elder column in Siren into collecting the stories of older lesbians across Canada into a book. there's nothing like it and she's got the background for it. If I haven't ( Read more... )

I'm up at the ungodly hour of 7 to go to a workshop with Marvin Ellison. I went to his lecture yesterday and it was really good. It was a Jack Reynolds lecture, which means it was about sexuality, and was supported by a grant from the estate of the late Jack Reynolds, a bisexual business man. I always feel a little weirded out by that term, "the ( Read more... )

Kept having a repetitive dream that I was late for the meeting tonight. Now I'm up but Mr. Pugh is still zonked. He's feeling sick and he's been sleeping late. His head's all hot and sticky ( Read more... )

The murder mystery evening went better than I expected. At first I thought it might be a disaster. Bernie and Lindsay, two of the actors were late. I was concerned that there wouldn't be many people there. I was worried about everything. Once the actors arrived however, there was a crowd of people downstairs. The event went really well, with ( Read more... )

My seminars today were interesting. It turns out there was another class between the two I'd registered for, so I took that one too. Although the class was full, half the people who register don't show. No wonder. I almost didn't go today, I was so sleepy. The last seminar, taught by a guy from OISE, bit. He was actually a good example of how ( Read more... )

I just finished doing a re-write for an article for Siren. I wasn't pleased with some of the "suggestions" my editor made, but I think the article is better now than it was before. I hope there aren't any more suggestions for changes. I usually hate change.

I'm really glad that there isn't any German this week. Yay Reading Week. I have my OISE classes this week though, which means that I had my Foucault class on Tuesday and I have my Feminist Theory class tonight. I still have two articles to read before then ( Read more... )

Yesterday I changed the apartment. A little background: I come from an extended family of criminals. Every few years they seemed to move to a new apartment and change their names. I think have that moving bug, except I want to remain in the same place. So every few months I get the urge to change my room or apartment. I like the change so far ( Read more... )
