Squeeee time! I’m so proud of my clever girl! :)
Here’s a photo of Goldie looking unimpressed at me gleeing so much at her that the cell wasn’t steady enough:
…and here’s the actual certification scanned in. Amazing what you can do with Photoshop to pretty things up when you want! :)
(“The Warrior Women”) by Monique Wittig translated by David Le Vay (first reviewed April 2005) Wittig’s book, quite frankly, puzzles me — or perhaps it’s simply the hype which I find misplaced. I picked it up because I read it was, in 1969, one of the first appropriations of the Amazonian utopia legend by the…
Originally written in… late 1999, I think? -for an anthropology class of the same name. This is an experiment to see how well (or not) old college papers transfer to this format. Enjoy! ;) Links to associated book reviews I’ve written, and Amazon associate links, are in the Bibliography at the end of the paper….
Woo! My prof has finally signed off on my second comps essay — I am so very relieved! Always nice to get an all-caps “EXCELLENT WORK!” too. :) So, I’m going to start posting the various book reviews from my Women & World Religions bibliography list, interspersed with whatever other stuff I feel like posting,…
In his book Imagined Communities, Anderson discusses the imagining and rise of nationalism. He lists several ideological changes that allowed the creation of this concept.

It’s funny… in making up potential things to try for my 50 New Things list, I find myself adding on all the ideas and events I’ve wanted to try for a while, but never got around to doing. Some of them are bigger, like “climb Halfdome,” but some of them are small and simple. I…
Alas, it gets worse. The narrator rambles on in the same demagogic vein about the “mutant albino” crocodiles, ending with a close-up shot of one of the small white reptiles staring bemusedly back at us from where it floats in the water, behind glass. Herzog continues with his inflammatory nonsense, wondering aloud: “When” the albinos…
Adorbs? Eek! Shhh! Don’t tell anyone! :)
Oh Em GEE! You said adorbs! ;)
Isn’t she adorbs?! :)
I think Goldie is really enjoying this stuff. When it’s time to go, she is so “jumpy” that I’m afraid she’s going to bonk right into my chin. She almost can’t sit still long enough for me to get the harness on. :-)
Thank you so much, Depizan! :)
Congratulations to the puppy!
