It's been awhile, but I'm back and ready to post. With the elections, Hurricane Frances, NYC protests, and such, there's much to write about....

What ever happened the freedom of speech? According to the New Times, CBS won't allow an Anti-Bush Super Bowl Ad from MoveOn.org. It's enough to make you vomit. Interestingly enough, some congressmen actually sent a letter to CBS complaining of their "affront to free speech"--you go, with your bad political selves!--but to no avail. The Conservative Bush Sustainers are sticking by their

A Question of Misplaced Idealism $$$$ money. ugh. need some. for me, and, in my greatest of hopes, for family. so here sits this idealist pondering the possibility of misplaced idealism. is it wrong to seek a place in a world of internal fulfillment but low pay, where i can't help the fam, or should i take a job where i can help the fam and potentially lose my soul? i dunno. i used to

Went to Bellevue Bar last night for S's birthday. You know its gonna be an interesting night when a total stranger, standing 6'5" or so in full biker-like attire, long hair, and cowboy hat, gives you $20 for drinks for no reason. It went like this: Me: (standing 5'1", approaches bar door with cut out letters in hand) Man: What the fuck is that? (points to letters) Me: Letters for my friend's

As long as I'm on the topic of activism.... here's another reason why Walmart sucks. (From the "girlcotts" section of a feminist clothing site)

Happy 31st, Roe v. Wade! Today marks the 31st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the monumental court decision that gave American women the freedom of choice, and jurisdiction over their own bodies. As an American woman, I'm thankful for this right, grateful to the women and men who helped give it to me. This date comes in a time when the choice that it awarded is threatened by the Bush administration

Hey there, Brooklynites. Staying warm on this fairly chilly evening in NYC? As for me, I'm toastily inside my apt feeling pensive for some reason. Nothing like a post-first encounter to bring out the thoughtfulness in a girl. B is going to a museum tomorrow, he says as I look up from typing. But thinking--this mode of thinking--this verb-driven mood forces me to examine the encounter and

So here are some ramblings of mine from the past: fear over desire=?? A friend of mine wrote this to me today: I think I have a fear of relationships. I don't know the guy and my first reaction is no. And I was thinking, is he not attractive...but that wasn't it. I think I freak when it comes to relationships. I don't know what to do about it. People can talk to me about a guy, and I hold
