Last night I got to see Watchmen. (For free!)

( Spoilers for both the movie and the comic )

Argh, so much shit to do, but let's fit a post in.

We're reading Stone Butch Blues in my lesbian lit class. It's the third time I've read it. What's really interesting is the different way it's affected me each time. The first time I read it, I was thirteen or fourteen and just beginning to understand myself as queer, and it shaped my ( Read more... )

This weekend I was supposed to go on the OASOS camping trip. I had been planning it for months. Then I screwed up my schedule at work, and couldn't go. It's disappointing.

I'm so fed up with my English class I ( Read more... )

Ever since my dad wound up in the hospital, people have been asking what's wrong with him. I kept feeling stupid and ignorant when this question was asked, because I didn't really know. All I could say was that something was wrong with his stomach and that he'd had his appendix and part of his colon removed. Well, today I figured out why I didn' ( Read more... )
