Team Jenougher!

I have decided that Jenougher's "fight" this week was a re-imagining of her training scenes with Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing.

I'll admit it.  I'm totally hooked on DWTS this season.

And, it's all because of Jennifer Grey.

Go Team Baby Derek!

My Cup Runneth Over

I am overwhelmed with sadness today, and it is spilling out of my eyes.

But, it is a kind of pleasure to spend the day mourning my baby brother.

I will always love you, Jacob.

Small Talk

Tonight I used the phrase "apocalyptic eschatological phantasmagorias" in casual (while undeniably trippy) conversation.

I think I'm ready for the GRE!

I Love the Constitution!

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.

I think I should sue them for invasion of privacy.

I Heart Italians

I just love these pics from the Columbus Day Parade in NYC.

Vive la Femme!

Thank you, French Constitutional Council, for standing up for women everywhere!  Thank you for saying no to gender apartheid and gender segregation and gender inequality and gender slavery.

Thank you for saying yes to secularism and gender equality and gender desegregation.

Thank you for saying yes to democracy and human rights and equal protection of the law.

Thank you for saying yes to the French law against identity obscuring face masks in the public space.

My Baby Brother

I miss you.
