So, for my Ancient Greek/Modern Gay Sexuality class, our final project requires us to "contribute to contemporary queer culture using ancient Greece as a vehicle." It can be a painting, a script, poetry, short story, essay, whatever ( Read more... )

So last you guys heard, I was on my way to the Tegan and Sara concert. That happened. I've written enough squee about them that you guys don't need to hear another detailed review, I'm sure. They were awesome, as usual, and can seriously rock. I enjoyed one of the openers a lot, Holly Miranda, and I'll definitely be looking into her stuff some ( Read more... )

This week has gone by so fast, I almost forgot it was time for me to post. I'm actually really glad the week has sped by, because tonight is the Tegan and Sara concert in Royal Oak! Megan (rainbowbrite227, her boyfriend Jake and I are all going and it is going to be so much fun. Megan is also going to make me ~black bean burgers~ for dinner AND since I'm ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back from my trip to New Jersey/New York. I only got to go into the city for one day, but that day was spent well, meeting grdnofevrythng, going to various shops, visiting the MOMA, and missing trains. I had a really awesome time, and there will be pictures at some point in the future ( Read more... )

I've been grossly sick since this weekend and people, let me tell you, it has sucked. I was a little unwell last week too, but I thought I had gotten over it, until Saturday rolled around and I was a complete mess. It's the worst week for it too, because I had a presentation to give on Wednesday (I coughed so hard through the whole thing I had to ( Read more... )

For Spring Break this year (in two weeks, because Michigan thinks the first week of March is Spring for some reason), I'm going to be going to New York! Mostly to help my brother move into his new place, but psh, I'm so going off to do my own thing. If anyone lives nearby, maybe we can meet up. Or, if you have any suggestions for things I must ( Read more... )

I've never been one to cook. I can make myself some pasta or grilled cheese sure, but if we get recipes involved, shit gets rough. I took Home Ec in 7th grade because I wasn't in band and it was required. It was awful in all respects (I was so bad at sewing, my teacher undid my entire project one day after school and fixed it herself), but ( Read more... )

In my Ancient Greek/Modern Sexuality class, we've been reading a lot of fascinating works (it's the only class I have not had trouble keeping up with). This week we've been focusing on Sappho. In case you don't know, the vast majority of Sappho's work is lost, as they were on papyrus, and that stuff is not resilient. Some poems are so lost that ( Read more... )

Right, so it's posting time again. Man, I really am not going to like this every week thing. Not much has happened since my last post. Oh, I definitely got into my Philosophy class I was worried about, so I'm still getting my minor. Yay for that ( Read more... )
