Shameless self-promotion
While I continue to plot a post on our mega-strawberry-picking excursion, please allow me to take a moment to point you to a guest post I did at Celebrity Gossip, Academic Style. It’s a little sneak peek at Chapter 1 of my dissertation, and it involves my Internet bête noire, the Pioneer Woman.

14 weeks
Here we are, 14 weeks after Laurel’s birth and wow, do things look different on the other side of the 3-month mark. Laurel is a healthy 15 pounds and change. She LOVES to eat, but only from the source. She will only take about 4 ounces of expressed milk over the course of about 8 [...]

The things we talk about
We’re back from Paris, busy as hell and dealing with a very cranky toddler who seems to be combating some sort of tummy bug. Photos to come. But for now, please do enjoy this exchange between me and Matt as we discuss potential plans for the weekend: Matt: I was looking forward to seeing L. [...]

Holy wow
I know it’s been a while, and this post will be unsatisfactory for those craving a more substantial update, but I’ve got to hustle down to the liberry to return some recalled books (and maybe regulate those damn slackadaisical undergrads for not checking in a book that I returned AGES ago but have yet still [...]

hey, remember me?
Phew. It’s been a looooong, exhausting week, but I’ve put yet another pin in yet another year of That Festival, you know, That One. I didn’t do any night shows this time around because my physical person is dead in the water by 9pm these days, so I just worked on my daily column as [...]

Not so much “boxing” as “gesturing weakly”
So, we got back from Phoenix on Monday afternoon. I went to the community gardens and bought a cornucopia of heirloom tomato and eggplant seedlings, as well as three types of chard (am retarded, clearly), took H grocery shopping, went home and cooked … something … for dinner, can’t remember. The next 24 hours are [...]

on the fence
I can’t decide whether to renew my subscription to Bust. I don’t really feel like they’re practicing the kind of feminism I’m interested in these days, and I’m sick of the fawning celebuprofiles. In terms of content I find them lacking, and I find their politics pretty disturbing. But I can’t find it in me [...]

In the can
While I enjoy my acupuncture afterglow (I can’t decide if I always feel energized after acupuncture because it’s working or because I get a 15-minute power nap while there), let me just say that the dirty chai is one of God’s gifts to womankind. Also, if you know who I am and where I live, [...]
