Little Things

One of my favorite things about living with my partner is listening to him sing in the shower. Oh, the perks of an opera singer boyfriend.
I’m enjoying the stage my friends and I are in right now, as many of us are living with partners/significant others for the first time. There’s something very sweet about [...]

Intersections of Work and Gender (Or, Why Do Dudes Think It’s Okay to Hit on Me While I Work?)

It’s time for some feminist action, brought to you courtesy of the migraine that today gifted me.
All the background you need to know: I work retail. I think, objectively, most people perceive me as a young attractive straight female, regardless of how I see myself or attempt to present myself. I work in a retail [...]

Resolved

If I’m not mistaken, the one resolution I made for myself this year was to read a book a week, or a total of 52 books for the year.
Right now — December 7, 2008 — I’m on my 39th book.

2. Read 13 books by the end [...]

Apologies!

Hi guys. I feel like I need to apologize for the blog sucking lately. I guess, in my defense, there are a few reasons:
1. Sick. Everyone at my work has had the same crud, and I caught it. Yuck! I’ve been watching West Wing.
2. Haven’t been knitting, mostly because it’s dry. I feel like I [...]
