Hello, LJ - it's been a while!
Evey year or so I search for a blog platform for my students to use that can easily connect multiple blogs into one community, the way LJ did. And I can never find one. They use Wordpress, Blogger, and Tumblr, but nothing works quite like LiveJournal ( Read more... ) -
Just testing
For no apparent reason, it's after midnight and I'm testing out a Firefox add-on that makes it possible to post entries to LiveJournal and blogs using a little... uhm, "add on" thingy.
Yes, I'm still alive, but I've been extremely busy. The horses and dogs are fine, but I need to spend less time working and more time in the hammock!

"I'm in love with two men"
No, not me! The writer of this interesting letter to Cary Tennis's advice column on Salon. (Hopefully you don't need to be a Salon Premium member to see this.) The woman is faced with the dilemma of loving two men and feeling like she has to choose between them ( Read more... ) -
testing the widget
I just downloaded a Mac OSX dashboard widget that supposedly allows me to post to my LJ without logging in. Why this might be useful, I'm still not sure, but I'm giving it a try! -
good short reading on polyamory
Does anyone know of a good, short article or story that would help someone who is curious about polyamory understand it better? My students want to learn more about it and I can give them a mini lecture but would also like to give them a short, engaging reading if I can find one. -
I kissed a girl!
At long last, I've met a woman I am attracted to on many levels, and we are now experiencing the first blush of NRE. I'm very excited! We seem to be connecting well intellectually, emotionally and physically, but of course everything is all so new and wonderful and we're just getting to know each other ( Read more... ) -
current reflections on polyamory
I've been thinking lately about what it is that drives me to polyamory, given that the impulse seems so bizarre to so many people. I am falling more deeply in love with the man in my life every day, and yet instead of that making me feel like I want to shut others out of my heart and focus only on him, I feel the opposite: as though I want to ( Read more... ) -
still a tomboy
Two weeks ago I decided to irrigate my pastures, so I called for water, got out my shovel and tarps, and waited for the flood. The volume of water was amazing but I soon managed to herd it where I wanted it to go using tarp dams and mud walls. The water ran for two and a half days and for that time I did nothing but eat, sleep and manage water ( Read more... ) -
interesting podcasts?
I really enjoy listening to lectures from the Learning Company (http://www.teach12.com) that I've downloaded to my iPod, but someone just asked me if I knew where to find free lectures and talks and so on and I wasn't sure. I looked into podcasting on the web but it seems like that's mostly ( Read more... ) -
is this a bad sign?
At around four or five in the afternoon, I now start thinking about how I wish night would come so that I can go to sleep, wake up and have coffee. I can't drink coffee after about 2pm because it keeps me up at night, but inevitably come later afternoon I'm craving some. Does this mean I'm an addict???
