2:35p Homepage Spotlight 1/04/10 wtf_sexism Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)

4:28p another year, another list of resolutions Ah, last year. How optimistic, how innocent we all were! ( Last year, this year, read on... ) At the very least, 2010 is off to a good start--we had some friends over (basically my writing group, plus one) for a games night, which basically turned into eight straight hours of Rock Band. I like singing the best, but drums and bass are also fun! The only thing I didn't do at all was play guitar. We had a great time, and ended (at four a.m.) with an encore of "Don't Stop Believing." So much fun. Happy new year, my Livejournal friends! current mood: hopeful

1:02a I think I'm still pretty much alive. I think. I'm gonna be in a show next month. It's not a big deal, but I'm excited because a) I never show anything, b) I am always complaining about the lack of print work in shows curated by my fellow students c) it's all about reading/text/learning, which is super cute and fun and awesome because books = the best. So, here are some prints of books. Please excuse the second print; it is easily the worst thing I made this semester- radio projects included.

In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

5:26p Merry Christmas! After a good night of rest, I'm feeling mostly human again. Michael asked me last night if I was being quiet, and all I could do was nod "yes". I was out of nerves and out of words. I went to bed at 10ish (when K went down) and Michael took care of the rest of the preparations - and he did a daggone fine job! Santa was incredibly good to us this year. Our family received a gift of a Wii including MarioKart (Katie's favorite game)... and I got a Kindle. I read really quickly so when I travel, I carry 3-4 books - so this will be nice space-wise. Michael also got me the whole set of Michael Palin travelogues and I drooleth over them :) He's my 3rd favorite Michael! (Dad and hubby come first - not particularly in that order, I won't get into THAT competition) ;) But mostly today, I'm thankful for the loved ones around us (near and in spirit). Your friendship and love has carried us this past week or so and I love you all so much. *hug hug hug hug* Have a blessed day and may tomorrow not be spent in the returns line at the store :) current mood: happy
