Quitting Twitter (just don't LJ at work, then!)

... in ages, or whom (?) I "talk to" on LiveJournal, etc. # I really enjoy @mrdictionary but this all takes too much time. Too many brain cells wasted on others' frienddates and American healthcare. @voneleanor: That's disgusting. Cheers. :) @voneleanor: I am actually more interested in 'Hegemonic Masculinities' than I expected. Will it be on carnivore.blog? @HorstBurkhardt: I use crazy analogies ...

Saving Face and Persopolis

... both the book and the movie. It made me cry but I came out of it overall happy (I'm a total sook about depressing films) "Saving face" is a romantic comedy about a lesbian Chinese American living in New York City and I recommend it to anyone who likes romantic comedies or like me is getting sick of lesbian relationships in film always seeming to fizzle out and/or end tragically etc. I came out ...

American Apparel & Maestro

This is probably a right annoying/thicko question, but: On American Apparel's UK site, it says that they accept Maestro (In their FAQs : "What payment types do you accept? We accept payment by credit card only: VISA, VISA ELECTRON, MASTERCARD, MAESTRO , and DISCOVER. ") but when you go to pay, there is no payment option to use Maestro. So I emailed them and they said that they don't ...

the only thing good about my fake american accent was the title.

zai, supporter of local indies, invited a few colleagues to watch the movie in galleria. i have to say i was curious: as a person who works in the industry that the movie is supposed to portray, i wanted to know how the movie will present the call center industry. i was not expecting a very realistic take on it (i mean, we all know doctors and lawyers don't really act that way in really life when...

My Next Run: Raising Money for the American Lung Association

On June 28th, I'm going to be participating in Reach the Bridge, an 8K run here in Portland that raises money for the American Lung Association. This organization has special meaning to me because my father died of lung cancer in 2005. I am a big advocate of basic cancer research, both to search for a cure and prolong quality of life and some of the money raised will go to these important ...

"Seven Civil War Stories Your Teacher Never Told You"

Mental Floss Magazine gives us a list of untold stories from the Civil War. For example, women in combat: "Hundreds of women on both sides pulled a Mulan, assuming male identities and appearances so that they might fight for their respective nations. Some of them did it for adventure, but many did it for monetary reasons: the pay for a male soldier was about $13 month, which was close to ...

Brain Surgeon, Crowns, Fifty Miles from Tomorrow.

(Maybe if I do a bunch of mini-reviews, I'll have a chance of catching up?) 51. Keith Black, MD, Brain Surgeon: A Doctor's Inspiring Encounters with Mortality and Miracles. This one works best, I think, if you think of it as an extended dinner table conversation. The writing style is somewhat clunky, but the man does have good stories to tell, and I learned quite a bit about brain tumors, ...
