  • So much to say, I’m stuck

    I actually have about four millions things on my mind, none of which will cohere into a post, so let’s do some bullets, like others I know. Working on an article, wonder if I’ll get it finished this week. How much more outside stuff do I need? Need to formulate something to talk to my…

  • Secularist of the year on multiculturalism cultural relativism

    You really should read this story about Maryam Namazie. It does a lot to illuminate the many issues we face in dealing with religious fundamentalists in the Middle East and here. It’s a slippery slope from multiculturalism to allowing women to be beaten. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day…

  • 1968 all over again

    We have our Vietnam, we have something akin to Watergate, and we saw tension among the races during the hurricane. Now we need a full-blown race riot. Toledo got one. The riot was set off by a planned march of the Nazi party, who had supposedly come to Toledo to support a white man who…

  • GTD on the home front

    I’m about 40-50% done with the living room. One thing about working on your house vs. at the office is the increased amount of stuff. At the office, I was dealing just with my stuff. Here, there are four of us. And man, do we have a lot of stuff. Right now, I’m looking at…

  • Dolls lead to abortion and lesbianism

    I’m not generally a big fan of dolls as toys for girls. To me, they promote too many gender steretypes. Needless to say, we have thousands of Barbies and even more baby dolls. Our most recent acquisition was soccer Barbie (sent by my mother in law). At least Barbie is the coach, even if she’s…

  • Random ten – kicking off for the day

    So I’ve decided I’m done working for today. It was great to work at home. I got a lot done. I even managed to work on a draft of an article I had put aside a while back. I’ve been listening to the iPod all day (is this bad for the ears?). Went through highest…

  • Working from home

    I have been up so late all week–and working so much–that I have made an executive decision to work from home. I am actually going to work, and I might do a few things around the house, but right now I’m still in my pj’s and will leisurely drink my coffee before taking a shower.…

  • Two steps forward, three steps back

    Remember when I mentioned all that writing I had done? Well, I pieced everything together, and I have 26 pages. My little counter on here way, way down at the bottom says 26 pages. That’s from August. I did so much cutting that I pretty much ended up where I started. I had little sections…

  • Getting *lots* of things done

    This whole getting things done method is great! I mean, seriously. What have I done in the last week? Written a draft of a proposal ordered equipment (which I’d been putting off for some reason) made many doctor’s and dentist’s appointments that I’d been putting off joined the gym around the corner wrote 15 pages…
