The Purpose of it All
I wake up early in the morning, hauling myself out of bed to rush in to the office... to do what? I look at the day with bleary dread. The workday comes and I sit behind my desk and if I'm lucky there will be enough work to distract me from the constant debate in my head. Do I quit ( Read more... ) -

Anna's End-of-Summer Reading List
Recommended reading, based on what I read this summer:
Fiction
The Wind Up Girl -- set in the not-so-far future, exploring the problems/solutions of genetic engineering, climate change, pandemic, and globalization (to name a few). Set in The Thai Kingdom with characters you will care about. I have not finished it yet, and there are some pretty ( Read more... ) -
Welcome, how can I help you? That will be $20. Here's your change and your map.
Being back at the museum is weird, but nice. The place has been returned how how it looked in 1965 when Dr. Hammond died - or as close to it as possible. There are a few things that still need to get moved out, but it's mostly his original collection, which makes me happy.

If you don't mind, can you please share annushkamunch.com with at least one person? Post it on your blog, email your photographer friend, show it to your parents who are looking for a new piece to go with the couch, share it on Facebook, write about it on Tumblr., tweet it, write it on the whiteboard outside your door - anything! It would be a nice -
How do I even
I am a smart, talented student at a rigorous women's college, who started a business at 20, traveled Europe partially on her own for six months, and will soon graduate with a degree in anthropology and a degree in Russian literature... who is regularly reduced to tears by art professors. -
Public Service Announcement*
I have a phobia of needles.
I don't want to talk about needles. I don't want to talk about having blood drawn. I don't want to see where they put the needle in for you to donate blood.
I have made the informed decision not to work on overcoming my phobia at the moment.
Unless you are my doctor or psychiatrist, you have no right to tell me what I ( Read more... ) -
And then life played a prank on me
I continue to be utterly baffled by good things that happen in my life, especially when they come in clusters. I am always expecting things to go wrong, and if they don't go wrong then I expect them to go terribly worse. But sometimes bad things don't happen, and things work out like you wanted them to. Even more amazingly, sometimes things work ( Read more... ) -

The State of the Anna
Today I saw my doctor and (despite my fear of needles) had some blood drawn. It's a small victory, but still, I feel accomplished. Now I'm laying in bed trying to get warm and hoping I feel less shaken by tonight so I can go contra dancing!
I had an unpleasant experience at the doctor, which I want to vent about below. TW: trans*phobia
