My very most favourite band of all time is coming to play a big bad outdoor concert in my city! I’m so very exicted! I just ordered my ticket online, I’m set to go! It’s scheduled for the end of September, and I CAN’T WAIT! I went to see them last year, and they were [...]

Feminism Friday – Women and Vice
Posted in Feminism Friday on July 28, 2006 | 12 Comments »
back to our regularly scheduled program…
This week I’m responding to L>T’s request for a post about women and vices – particularly sexual vices. She says, “I wonder how much you think present society sees certain vices/sins, which are considered moral weaknesses, as the fault of women. I am thinking of sex vices/sins, mostly. [...]
wolf in sheep’s clothing?

Marc Andre passed along this article today, about a male lawyer in New Zealand who showed up to court today dressed in women’s clothing as a means of protest against the male-dominated judiciary. The lawyer, Rob Moodie, says:
“I will now, as a lawyer, be wearing women’s clothing… The deeper the cover-up, the prettier the frocks.”
I [...]
Bernard Pivot questionnaire
Posted in Philosophical Meandering, Sheer Entertainment on July 23, 2006 | 13 Comments »
I happen to love the show Inside the Actor’s Studio. At the end of every episode, host James Lipton asks these 10 questions, the Bernard Pivot questionnaire. I have alwyas found the actors’ answers fascinating. I thought I’d take a turn at it.
What is your favorite word? Passion.
What is your least favorite word? Can’t. I [...]
random rants in brief

Bush, in his infinite wisdom, has vetoed the stem cell bill. I think this was a really stupid move. Stem cells have incredible potential to cure disease, and limiting research capabilities into this potential will, I think, ultimately limit the potential itself. I’m all for stem cells.
Bush has also made a big fat gaffe by [...]
30, Flirty, and Thriving!
Posted in Existential Crises & Epiphanies on July 21, 2006 | 18 Comments »
well, folks, I’m taking the day off from FF, because it’s time to celebrate me. It’s my 30th birthday today.
Everyone keeps telling me how I’m going to love my 30s. I think it’s all what you make it. My 20s were about learning that, learning what was important to me and learning to take responsibility [...]
Oprah’s not gay
Posted in Controversial Commentary, Political Prattling on July 19, 2006 | 20 Comments »
Have you heard? Oprah and Gayle are not gay. Really. They swear. In the latest issue of “O” magazine, no less. It’s all over the net and TV. Oprah’s not a lesbian. Just so we’re clear.
Why is it that the questioning of one’s sexuality is such a touchy topic? It goes to the heart of [...]
going veg
Posted in Existential Crises & Epiphanies, Random Ramblings, Vegetarianism on July 17, 2006 | 34 Comments »
I have finally made the decision to become vegetarian. I have been flirting around with the idea for several years, since my teens, but I have always thought that becoming vegetarian would be something that would make my life more difficult, that it would be complicated. I have gone through phases of not eating certain [...]
Feminism and Philosophy Primers
Posted in Administrative on July 16, 2006 | 9 Comments »
Hi all,
After a recent discussion, it came to my attention that some of you, my readers, and others visiting this blog in general, would find a feminist primer helpful and/or interesting. So, I wrote one. (WordPress has these nifty things called Pages, and you can write whatever you like and they will be organized in [...]

big rant
Posted in Controversial Commentary, Political Prattling on July 24, 2006 | 24 Comments »
well, I thought I had all the rants out of my system, and then on my drive home I was visually assaulted with huge posters of aborted fetuses lined along Robie Street. I was so enraged! There is an anti-abortion group visiting and protesting in Halifax right now. I don’t know their name, but they [...]
