Today is the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the US Supreme Court case which guaranteed a woman's right to an abortion finally being protected under the constitution. Today, pro-choice bloggers everywhere are celebrating by taking part in Blog for Choice Day. From the website: "Blog for Choice Day provides us with an opportunity to raise the ( Read more... )

I just officially resigned from Piney Woods Roller Derby. Madame Furie is no more ( Read more... )

I'm having a hard time sitting still today. I wish I had roller derby practice instead of yoga tonight. I hope I don't "accidently" hip-check someone out triangle pose. Because that would be wrong... right?

I was going to recommend that driver's ed be included in the litany of required classes for college freshman, but now I think we're going to have to start with how to walk ( Read more... )

So. This whole "I'm a writer who doesn't write anything but blogs and book reviews" shtick is getting pretty old. I need to start writing again. For serious. I've decided to take small steps, so as to avoid total and complete failure. I will work on my zine all weekend.

I need another web-based distraction like I need a hole in my head. And yet...

I'm graduated, got the degree, and now all the little projects I've had lined up for months - years! - can finally be ( Read more... )

I've decided to take part in a project that I stumbled across while surfing the tubes. It's called 101 in 1001, and the conceit is that each person who signs up for the challenge creates a list of 101 goals they would like to complete, and they have a time frame of 1001 days in which to do these things. I started my clock on May 17, which means my ( Read more... )
