"...and I tell you, go to LA with a lesbian Congresswoman. It's faaabulous!"

So Ani DiFranco is doing a Vote Damnit! tour this fall to college campuses. And she's coming to Minneapolis. And it turns out, the Feminist Majority is a partner on this campaign/tour. So I get to go to the Ani concert for free! I'm going to register people to vote at the event. Plus, she's co-billed with Margaret Cho? How cool is that? The ( Read more... )

I saw Ben & Jerry (yes, of the ice cream) get arrested this afternoon ( Read more... )

So, my bus driver was hitting on me this morning. I thought I heard him mumble something about 'beautiful' when I got on the bus this morning, but couldn't really tell. Then, as I'm getting off the bus he pulls me aside, asks my name, and says that he really wants to talk with me sometime. Aaaaaaah! Not entirely sure if it was sweet or creepy ( Read more... )

Had a great day at work today. There was almost no one in the office, which meant much less stress than in recent days, and much more productivity. I'm working on making a web page for the FMF site this week. I still don't really know what I'm doing with this web design stuff, but I can fake my way through it pretty well, and my boss is good ( Read more... )

Not much new going on in my life, but I have some time to kill and haven't written anything in a while. So I thought I'd let you all know that I have not, in fact, fallen off the face of the earth.

A judge in San Francisco struck down the Partial-Birth abortion Act yesterday.

It's good to see that not everyone currently in power is viciously anti-choice.

The college charges $1700 to get credits during the summer. Not because you're here or using college resources or whatever - no, doesn't matter where you are or how much you might be paying already. I understand a nominal fee to cover processing and such, but charging half-tuition to get credit for a summer internship is ridiculous! How do they ( Read more... )

Should I worry that about the only time I go to the library lately is with the sole purpose of taking a nap? I don't know if that says something about me or about the libe.

There was absolutely no point in me getting up and going to my 8:30 class this morning. Damn prof, why couldn't he have just cancelled class if he didn't have anything to say
