I managed to post an assignment on time! Yay! This means that I’m truly caught up on the world lit class. I do still need to finish actually reading the Aeneid, which I just wrote about, but I can do…
Traffic Court and Snow in Dixie
Okay, that was interesting. If you please “not guilty” in traffic court now, they make you wait for a couple of hours, then give you a new court date. They’ll have the cop come then, but don’t ask him to…
Email Down
Our main email addresses, along with our websites, are still down, so Sam, Katie, and I aren’t getting comment notifications. My spamcop.net address (technomom@) is still working if you wish to send a message to me that way. I’m scheduled…

Shamhat to Eve
More “I had to write it so I might as well post it.” One of the discussion questions in the lit course was: The role of women in Gilgamesh or rather the process of civilizing Enkidu. Do you see any…
Aging
The day a woman realizes that she isn’t worried about her nose being shiny, but having forgotten to use moisturizer was a painful mistake, she truly knows that she’s getting old. Kennesaw didn’t get my mid-term. I don’t know if…
