– Patsy Hallen, Making Peace with Nature: Why Ecology Needs Feminism
I should stop re-reading this entire chapter of my Deep Ecology Movement anthology that has nothing to do with what I can fit in four pages of writing on “sustainable” business practices at 1 am.

start writing a paper that is due tomorrow morning after being too sick to do anything but sleep for two days, microsoft word crashes twice and loses my page-and-a-half of detailed outline with notes. so much rage.

so far, the “next adventure” has been lying in bed for two days sick and too exhausted to write a paper that is due on Saturday, and then hearing through the grapevine that my place of previous employment has gone bankrupt at the corporate level and will be closed until further notice after Sunday.

"So Called" Vocal Myths →

omgoperahoneybadger:
It’s ridiculous how stupid some people can be. I could not even believe what I was reading as I read through this site. Not only does this hugely misinformed writer take a proverbial swing at the Garcia family, who, I.M.O., contributed some major elements to the perfect vocal techinique, but even worse, are blatantly wrong about many fundamental vocal ideas....

sorta felt like hyperventilating when i was writing it out, but now i feel very relaxed and light and relieved. it hasn’t been a terrible job by any means (restaurant hostess/singer), and i am very grateful for the skills i’ve learned and the people i’ve met and befriended, but it is time to move on. i don’t have another job lined up yet, but i am incredibly privileged to...

my mom sent me this website link as a resource for info on grain-free, sugar-free, dairy-free eating. i have been gluten-free for about four years now, but i am still not healthy and so i am looking further into alternative diets.
i was greeted with “eating should not involve math!” on the homepage. oh, i think i will enjoy this site.

i don’t watch tv. not really. i can’t follow a single show. i’ve tried but i always end up watching just one or two episodes and losing interest, or doing erratic 6-hour episode binges and then abandoning it for months because i feel guilty for wasting time; bones, house m.d., fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood, portlandia, arrested development, sherlock, once upon a time…

dear boston university college of fine arts,
i don’t need your 45-page school of music graduate student handbook, i just need to know how long your program is (2 years? 11 months? 3 years?), what your proficiency examination requirements are, a concise list of courses required during residency, and whether or not you have full-ride scholarships/assistantships available.
sincerely,
peeved...

making tea and forgetting about it until an hour later when it is over-steeped and cold, but chugging it down anyway out of guilt, even though the whole point was to have a comforting, hot-enough-to-steam-my-glasses cuppa.

book things:
Underwhelmed and disappointed by Dimanche and Other Stories by Irene Nemirovsky. Then I noticed that Suite Francaise and Fire In The Blood, her fantastic novels I’ve heard so much about, are translated by someone else. I bought Dimanche because I’ve generally found that short stories are the best introduction to an author’s work (for me), but that’s not the case here. I...
