My whole family including Ethan is headed for the annual family vacation to a lake house in Michigan for a full week of summer fun. Me? I’m in class taking a test. Number of times I’ve been able to enjoy the summer week at the lake house? Zero. Summer classes, baby, and there is a [...]

I asked, you answered, then I aswered. randomliberal/Robert: What…is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Are we talking an African swallow or a European swallow? “Although a definitive answer would of course require further measurements, published species-wide averages of wing length and body mass, initial Strouhal estimates based on those averages and cross-species comparisons, [...]

With summer classes afoot, I’ve had to let a few principles go. E goes to a summer camp in the morning and then with my mother in the afternoon. This week, my church-going mother agreed to work the church’s Vacation Bible School, a somewhat innocuous five-day sermon complete with crafts and coloring books. Ethan goes [...]

The best response I’ve ever heard given to an army recuriter goes a little something like this: “Look, I’m lazy and I’m a fag. I refuse to wake up at 5am every morning to wear that ugly green. And I’m gay! Did you hear that? GAY!” I was tempted to use this line, originally reported [...]

No surprise to find that the man conducting this survey is also “very concerned” with “family values,” i.e. subjugation of an entire gender for the children. The children! Were you wondering where the male bloggers were during our latest [...]

This one looks like a class-based survey on webloggers. The total results are available immediately after you are finished. Many of them are quite interesting, not what you would think. There is a serious dearth of women taking this survey. Take it, ladies, and bias be gone (we’d like to think).

I am working on putting together and refining a five minute story to be told for an American Sign Language exam tomorrow. Chuck, my evil and competent classmate, is great at this stuff (as well he should be, writing his thesis on ASL grammar and syntax and all). Me? I can’t remember the goddamned vocabulary [...]

Idiot: Ecclestone made news last week with his comments made in response to Patrick’s fourth-place finish at the Indianpolis 500. Asked about Patrick’s success, Ecclestone acknowledged her strong finish, but then made an assessment about women racing with men that caused a stir, saying, “You know I’ve got one of those wonderful ideas … women [...]

I have nothing to write about today unless you count the forty bookmarks on my desktop that need to be organized into yet another massive link round-up. It’s going to be a relaxing day, goddammit. In about an hour I’m off to get a pedicure. Gardening has embedded an amazing layer of dirt into my [...]

Ethan likes it, and that’s what matters. When we combed the aisles for the color I wanted, E pulled me down to his level and told me that he really likes my yellow hair but he’d love me no matter the color. It has a bit of red highlight in person, and oddly, my hair [...]
