This and That

Hooray for Jessica Simpson. Now, I’m not fan of hers (though, I did find her variety show fun in a campy sort of way), but I’m very impressed with her not wanting to politicize her charitable work. I’m sure you’ve read about how Bush wants a photo-opportunity with her when she’s in DC for some […]

How Do I Loathe Catholicism?

Let me count the ways. Actually, I don’t have the energy, nor the time, to list the ways. Hell, I don’t think my server could accommodate the length of my rant. So today I shall focus on their most recent annoyance. It’s well established that the catholic church believes in following its traditional teachings and  […]

A Missed Opportunity?

A few days I go I arrived at work to find the following email (I’ve removed the sender’s name….I’m courteous like that): My name is XXXX – 1 L in section XX (went to Yale for undergrad). I am not sure if we ever met, like at BLSA events or not, but I have a question for you (and […]

Seeing What I See

I was able to take a bunch of pictures while out and about last weekend (I’m regretting not bringing my camera to Kowloon). Anyway, I started off Saturday by going to the Boston Public Library to get a book for my class. This has to be one of my favorite buildings in Boston. Here are some […]

An Exercise in Cultural Awareness

Oh. My. Gawd. I’m not sure what it is but I’m having the most unusual weekends lately. Or, at least I’m observing the most interesting people lately. Last weekend, it was the species known as the racist, loud-mouthed, inebriated gay southerner. This weekend it was that special breed of homosapien we call the North Shore […]

My Carrie Moment

Fortunately, nobody poured cows blood on me. And I didn’t burn any gymnasiums down in the recent past either. Nor did I tenderize my mother with various kitchen flatware. But I did apparently have a period in the shower this morning. I’m serious! I’m not sure what was going on. I was simply lathering up […]

Better Planning Through Ignorance

I used to be so detail-oriented and thorough. Now I’m lucky if I remember to put on pants before I head out in the morning. One of the classes I’m taking (Higher Education Management) had the following assignments: two short papers, one long term paper and a group project. The first paper was already submitted (and […]

I Don’t Trust Furry Lobsters

I’m feeling rather scatter-brained this morning so please bear with me. I was reading the Metro newspaper this morning and they had a photo of a recent discovery: the furry lobster. Apparently, this little crustacean resides 900 miles off Easter Island…7,500 feet below the surface of the water. It’s a WHITE lobster with blonde fur. It scared […]

A Cruel Reality

I just don’t know what to say about South Dakota right now. Of course, I’m very disturbed to read about what’s going on in that state regarding abortion rights (and I suspect they’re not too keen on the fags, either). But I can’t believe how sweeping their legislation is. I mean, they’re law would ban […]
