You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to quit thinking.
I feel smarter by reading truepenny's lj. Not that I understand all the English major and theater language, but!
I really adore both her books and her journal and general thinking about things.

moving towards defining slash
HA! truepenny posted a very illuminating bit about the difference between slash stories and stories about queer relationships, and WHY that is important. To sum it up very briefly:
...Slash is subversion....Now, why am I so adamant that slash is not the same as homosexual relationships ( Read more... ) -
still waiting on Virginia
I just have to post that this is the first time in 6-8 years that I've felt rather hopeful when I think about our government in general. What a great feeling. I know that there won't be miracles, and as some people have posted, many of the Dems are pretty conservative Dems. But still ( Read more... ) -
the molly house
ha! what a great idea: ladyjaida has started a queer themed fantasy book reading club at themollyhouse, "Molly" being a term used in Sarah Monette's books instead of gay. And yay! they are reading "Swordspoint" this month, which makes me happy.

Though, at that point I'd no concept of meeting someone I admired so much. Ok, bear with me here, my brain isn't up to full speed yet, the caffine still dribbling in. I was much too elated to go to sleep at a ( Read more... ) -

academia and slash
Finished watching Black's Books season 1 DVD. Very very silly(the whole Midnight Cowboy thing), but definitely makes me laugh. thanks aldenmacraeAm back to knitting the blanket while watching 2nd season House DVD. It's a project I don't have to really look at to work. "Clueless" was one of the better episodes so far. The mystery with the illness was trickier ( Read more... ) -
Sarah Monette: Mélusine
ohmygosh, I'm so behind once again on you all's doings and postings... How ya been?
4th of July and fireworks and too much good food and then lots of working and oh yeah, I got stuck in a wonderful book!
Sarah Monette is my favorite new author. I admit that I picked up her book, Mélusine, because the cover was attractive (clicky for gorgeous man ( Read more... ) -
