This is a neat post (which I found through Dingsi) concerning a scene in The L-Word and how it relates to feminism and women's experiences. Do feel free to go and read. :-)
In other news, I am back from Ithaca.
It was fun and exhausting. Paul spent the weekend running around after Teo - the Very Very Active little cousin. (He's very good at both hockey and soccer). He really likes it when my brother, or my husband, or my cousin Jack and/or uncle Peter come to visit, because they are boys and he doesn't have a lot of male relatives.
I like it when boys come to visit him because then *I* don't have to do the running around. :-) (Good goggly moggly, I get tired just *watching* him be constantly on the move).
A chipmunk got into (and out of) the house we were all renting, (we also had a mouse, I think. We could hear it squeaking in the walls, and I found little poo-pellets on the floor by my bed, and one on my purse, too... :-P)
I jumped into the lake with my clothes on in order to rescuea partially-written letter that had blown away from me (I'd been using my coffee cup as a paper-weight, and the wind actually blew the cup over!). It was seriously the highlight of the trip for me. (Note: Sarongs dry out *really* fast!) It was awesome. :-D
Also: We got stopped by a state trooper 20 minutes over the US border who asked us "Is there some kind of a holiday in Canada this weekend? We've been seeing a lot of Canadian traffic today".
Twenty Minutes from the Damn Border!!!
Part of me wants to think this was a trick question designed to find out if *we* were really from Canada, but <*sigh*> I'm not holding out much hope.
also, on the way home, when we were in Watertown (we stopped for luch), the walkie-talkies that *my mom's fella) Andrew has, that we were carrying in the car? Started picking up the conversation of some random other couple. (Some language I didn't recognize - near-eastern or south-asian or some sort, I think - interspersed with occasional english words and proper-nouns). Part of me wished I could understand what they were saying so that I could get on the radio and talk to these random people on the airwaves. I think they were planning their afternoon (a little shopping followed by getting icecream at the restaurant we'd just come out of). It was neat and wierd, and I wonder if they were picking up anything we were saying. :-)
Also: Those people who got murdured the other day? The husband and wife? They're the aunt and uncle of one of my brother's best friends. He called my brother's cell phone as we were coming up to the border, and told him.
Wah!
What a mess. :-( I hope he's okay. :-(
Anyway. Those were the highlights of the weekend.
I will be yammering about other stuff later on. :-)
