Book store trip

Went to the bookstore and bought a ton of birthday cards (cuz I'm that kind of girl), the new Cat Power bio, and a workbook on managing Anxiety. I hope it works. The workbooks on managing Social Anxiety and Shyness seemed a bit irrelevant for my circumstance since exercises involved making yourself do things like go to parties, and I already go to parties and they don't scare me at all. Even if people from reality TV shows laugh at me at them. My anxiety seems to swim between a lot of different labels, I guess I'm not a very consistent person.
Anti feminist twitters are so amusing, especially when I am first waking up. I laughed so hard my belly hurt this morning when I saw one that said this:
"Sotomayor called Obama "Sir" which was a good sign she might not be the kind of rabid feminist men's rights advocates were concerned about"

Hysterical!

I'm sure there are legitimate criticisms out there towards left wingers and towards feminism as well, however most of the people out there writing about them are amusing irrational nut jobs. Hee hee.

I had no idea that as a feminist I am not supposed to call men "Sir", I'll make a note of that one for future reference.

Finishing what you started.

I turned my thesis in for approval last week. It was so close to the deadline I'm not sure if I'll get in and get my degree. It is oh so ridiculous how long it is taking me to finish this thing! Three years for a two year degree? It makes little sense when you consider the fact that I finished my English BA in two years and my journalism BA in one year. I just feel less encouraged at this age in my life Je pense. The language course I registered for to fulfill my requirement also was canceled this past winter leaving me discouraged to work on my thesis when I knew I wasn't going to graduate anyways.


C'est la vie.

busy

I am reviewing the new Tori Amos album as well as John Vanderslice and an album from Diane Birch (she has the right haircut to make it with the hipsters.)

Here is the party I covered last month.


(No more late night parties on weeknights though! Bad idea.)
