No Soul Sunday today, obviously - we’ve been moving all weekend, have no internet at home, and I wouldn’t be very popular if I snuck off with my laptop to go hang out at a coffee shop. I should have queued one up but, you know, moving. MOVING.

Things You Should Make To Eat, No. 2
(This one goes out to seoulbrother, of course)
(and if you’re looking for No. 1, look here)
If you have ever talked to me for more than five minutes, here’s something you know about me: I am obsessed with Korean food.
You, with your Kogi BBQ truck and your newfound love of tofu stew, you may love Korean food. I’m sure you do, and I encourage it. But I’m not talking love. I’m talking...

Silly questions about Flickr
rinich:
[…]
Those of you that use Flickr: I’d like to know a few things.
1) What makes Flickr so good? Like, versus SmugMug or whatever? 2) How do you actually go about using Flickr? Do you add friends and talk to people? Do you do that whole joining groups thing? What do you get out of it? 3) Do you use Flickr from the .com, or is there some method you use of going on it? 4) Do you have...

One Third of Women in the Military are Raped →
misseffieb:
bmckinney:
abbyjean:
In 2003, a survey of female veterans found that 30 percent said they were raped in the military. A 2004 study of veterans who were seeking help for post-traumatic stress disorder found that 71 percent of the women said they were sexually assaulted or raped while serving. And a 1995 study of female veterans of the Gulf and earlier wars, found that 90 percent...

Oh also, speaking of
Preliminary comments back on the first few pages of the first draft of the first chapter were… good!
Without being an idiot about privacy (and without being an idiot about the fact that it was only the first few pages of chapter 1, not the whole damn thing), I will just give you this tidbit:
“very well written”
FIRST DRAFT, BITCHES.
High fives!
A Celebration of David Foster Wallace →
peterwknox:
Nine peers pay tribute with a talk or essay. Strong suggestion.
Amy Wallace-Havens is David’s sister. She is a deputy public defender in southern Arizona. Bonnie Nadell is vice president of Frederick Hill Bonnie Nadell Agency in Los Angeles. Gerry Howard is an executive editor at large for Doubleday. Colin Harrison is a novelist, and a vice president and senior editor at Scribner....

Watch1903 film of the Cliff House and Ocean Beach
God, I love this neighborhood. Seriously.
(Also click on the link and go to the site, the lovely Richmond District SF blog, because it’s got a scene-by-scene description of the film, concentrating on the buildings.)

Your Kids Will Thank You
(old post, re-posted after a conversation last night)
That kids’ show I was telling you about? It’s called Pancake Mountain.
It was created by some wonderful folks I knew in Washington, DC, including my very dear friend and old bandmate, Jeorge.
It went a little like this: Jeorge’s then-business partner Scott and Scott’s wife, along with other like-minded parents,...

Hopefully all of you are off doing something...
it being Friday night and all.
But I just wanted to say that I finished the first draft of my first chapter. Sent it to my chair, too.
Holy shit, it feels nice to get somewhere.

The only thing that could be any more soothing about this to my brain is if the pandas were tumbling around in my head.

The thing about a dissertation is that it’s not like when you were in college and you sat there going GAAWWWD A 10 PAGE PAPER? HOW DO I FILL UP 10 PAGES ON [insert interesting topic to anyone who isn’t a 19-year-old jitbag]
The thing about a dissertation is that you have too much stuff to put in to the damn thing. And you - being me - sit there in a panic going oh god oh god what if I...

I very obviously love this sweater
1. It is warm.
2. It is comfortable.
3. It does not make me look like a complete and total schleb like, say, the big grey sweatshirt.
4. It is cute in that old L.L. Bean hanging out in a cabin in Maine with your hair mussed up drinking from a battered mug sort of way.
5. It is warm, and I am always cold.
Lately I have been taking photos of myself while working using Photo Booth, as opposed to...

I think I’d like to join a writing group. Or start one. Maybe to help me with this dissertation, maybe to work on whatever I start after I’m done.
Also a photo group, but that’s definitely for later, after this behemoth is over.
Just a note to self.
Its a smart idea. Having people to share things with, bounce ideas off of and kick your ass when you start feeling...

“When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous...”

Also: 95% student approval rating, bitches!
theresa-c:
The average was 70%.
And I got to bust a girl for plagiarizing once. That was awesome.
Similar teaching experiences, represent!
I wish I could talk about all this but I suppose I should wait at least until I graduate. For fear they find some reason to keep me around.
(I just said represent. SO RETARDED.)
These were lovely, so I wanted to consolidate...

What being in love feels like, according to you:
fancycwabs answered: It’s been awhile, but if I remember correctly it feels like the first real laugh after the saddest day of your life. samhey answered: You feel like you’re about to simultaneously melt and pop. fistsoffolly answered: Hypomania. It feels like a hypomanic episode. But, you know…better in all respects. pocketcontents...
