National Protest Against the War on Women
I don't normally post stuff about political activism here, and I'm not even sure I'll go to this myself. I believe there are different kinds of activism suited for different people, and I don't really consider myself a demonstrating-type activist. But I've been feeling more and more uneasy about the state of the world recently, and especially the ( Read more... ) -
TV Thoughts: Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy edition
I've been watching Noel Fielding's new show Luxury Comedy (through youtube uploads, of course) each week as new episodes come out. Now that I've gotten through episode 3, I think it might be time to share some thoughts on the whole thing.
( Warning: If you don't watch the show, this post probably won't make a lot of sense. If you do watch it...well, it won't really make sense anyway. ) -
A few thoughts on my recent TV watching...
...but not any of the shows I said yesterday I'd write about. :P
I have all kinds of different reactions to TV shows when I watch them for the first time. Some shows I'm hooked on pretty much instantly- Skins, for instance, I loved from the end of the very first episode, despite the fact that all the characters in it are raunchy and rebellious and ( Read more... ) -

News, news, news
I realized a couple of days ago that it's been a while since I've updated here in any substantial way. I have been reading my flist regularly, and commented most of the time, but never got around to writing my own entry. So here are a few bullet points to catch you up ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to everyone on my flist! May 2012 bring its own rewards and adventures, with a minimum of suffering and frustration (only as much as is good for us). Hope you all are staying safe and celebrating well! -
Brief New York update
I actually have some downtime before I have to go off for my first day of internship work, so I thought I'd check in. Things have been a little crazy here so far, but after a confusing day yesterday figuring out how to navigate the city, I think I will have a lot more success from here on out ( Read more... ) -
The best decisions are logistically complicated decisions. :)
I have good news, but complicated news! There's been a sudden development in the circumstances of my life this week. Let me explain.
Way back in September, I sent in an application for an internship at BUST Magazine, a popular feminist magazine with its offices in New York City. It's an unpaid internship, and I have no magazine experience, but ( Read more... ) -
An Awfully Big Adventure: UK Travel Adventure 2011, Part 4
Well, we're at the halfway point of my series of posts chronicling my summer adventures in the UK! This is the last post that takes place in Wales; after this we go to two Scottish cities- one which I liked and one, well, not so much- and then back to London. With the nearly five-month time gap between when this stuff happened and when I'm actually ( Read more... )
