I’m finally done grading and am catching up on the seminar work I’m behind in. Figuring out what to say about “What Is Enlightenment?” for Monday. Pining after expensive shoes; always moments away from ordering them. Not thinking about all that’s left to do. Not thinking about putting a dissertation committee together. Missing game one of the WS. Still mad that they only released 2-4,000 tickets for the “little guys.”

Basically my life seems to consist in over-rewarding for accomplishing small tasks and avoidance. Nice.

But the local gellatoria is still good.

And one of my roomates for Halloween is dressing as that python that died while trying to eat an alligator. The python-pattern spandex came in the mail yesterday. It’s almost like a house costume, we’re all so invested in it.

Go White Sox!

That makes no sense to me, but it sounds awesome.

KG, lion. Nothing more feminist than a lion.

I’m in Montreal, possibly the most liberal city in Canada. Even with all the Catholics.

KnifeGhost, if there are any right wing fundies where you will go, just don a pink dress. Gays are the scariest thing they could ever imagine…

Congratulations Annie! Ou little one (the first) was supposed to be planned, but he came a few days early. He’s 10 weeks now.

My mother-in-law has beeen staying with us all week. She goes home on Saturday. After that I’m going to start ripping apart the room she is sleeping in. We’re going to re-insulate & drywall, replace the windows, lay down carpet & build a playhouse under some stairs for the peanut to play in. I’m so excited. After this, all the windows will be done and only the kitchen will be left to be gutted.

Psychological torture for cat-deprived cat lovers.

Terminally cute is an understatement.

Congratulations Annie.

I just watched Batman Begins again. Now I mope around the Internet for awhile before I sleep. And wait for my random ten to finish up, so I can post that up here.

Also, I point and laugh at the circus that is the Tom DeLay defense. Here’s to a fair and speedy trial that leads to his ass rotting in state prison for more than a few years. Schadenfreude!
