I think next time I give a talk, I'm going to hold up a baby and say, "This baby doesn't believe in uncertified compilation. This baby wants type safety. This baby doesn't want to use an unverified garbage collector. This baby wants strong guarantees that her reasoning about the code she writes also applies to the code she executes." Does anyone have a baby I can borrow? This entry was originally posted at http://tim.dreamwidth.org/1668454.html. Please comment there using OpenID. |

My period came back today, tonight. It's been just over two-and-a-half years since I last had to worry about it (well, minus the eight weeks or so after giving birth, but that's lochia and not menstruation). Wow. I'm not sure how to feel about it. About the whole now-I'm-most-definitely-fertile-again thing, about the whole disposable pad thing (ever since falling pregnant, I've been much more ecologically-minded and I've had the idea of either cloth pads or a Divacup in the back of my mind but obviously I haven't had to worry about it till now), about having to dig out my crappy period underwear. I was hoping to get really, really, really lucky and only have my period resume when Raspberry had self-weaned and by the looks of it these days, it doesn't seem like that's happening anytime soon. I suppose my period and hormones got tired of waiting. Ha. Well, this could possibly explain my hormones lately. Oh well then, I guess this is a return to normality, so to speak. To be honest, I'd quite pleasantly forgotten all about my period till tonight and I would've been perfectly happy to forget it for a long while more. Um, welcome back?

Nurse: Oh my, I'm sorry! (pulls back to let woman and child pass)
Asian American pregnant woman: Oh, I'm sorry, I can...
Senile old lady: Get out of the way, chink!
(infant cries)
Asian American pregnant woman: Excuse me?
Nurse: Oh my god! I'm so sorry.
Senile old lady: Don't apologize!

http://www.bookslut.com/blog/archives/2009_11.php#015398 Our own feelings for Kalimpong felt fake, unfair, and we left rapidly for England then the States, journeying to where we had, half-consciously, half-unconsciously, assigned the centre to be, learning other rude lessons in our failure to locate our own story.
This Kiran Desai essay on the writing of The Inheritance of Loss is so overwritten it is giving me a migraine. I'm feeling vindicated for not reading it when it was winning all of the awards. |

http://feministlawprofessors.com/?p=13740 From this article at the WaPo. Via.
Roxie has some questions. Meanwhile, I recently flew to and from a distant city, and on one of the legs of the journey, the dood sitting next to me was watching porn. Really racist porn, it appeared to be, attempting to heavily erotizice several demeaning sterotypes. And he was jiggling his legs a lot.
At a certain point I tapped him on the shoulder and said, “She doesn’t look like she is enjoying that very much.” He shot me a dirty look but he also closed his laptop. Which he placed on his lap over the lump in his pants, which was having some kind of wrestling match with his seat belt. And then his whole body rose, and he went and spent extensive personal time in the lavatory, which was the only lav in the entire plane. Thus putting the “jerk” in jerk off.
