You know your in-laws live in Vermont when…
Yup. Moose pasta as a gift. So named for the shape. I hope.
2007: Resolutions are for losers
Okay, not really, but I like what Dreama did over at Random Again, so I’m copying. I’ve never been really big on the whole resolutions thing, but I think it’s nice to think about things that may be coming ahead. So, in her words, “in 2007, I will do the following things. As always, these […]
The triumphant return of Siddhartha
When I arrived at Smith College in late August of 2002, one of the most exciting things for me was (in addition to the queer community, feminist activism and academics) the new computer I was getting; my mother had gotten a loan so that I could get my very first laptop, a low-end Dell Lattitude.

The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
