Apparently he sent someone in the admin staff across town to go and pick up porn DVDs for him.

are you fucking kidding me? I would report him. I would, however, wait until the day his report was due, and say "I don't want this to affect his report, and I don't want you to think that it's in retaliation, so I'm reporting in this window"

I get that, but I still don't see how it quite jibes with the "girls attracted to nonthreatening boys" thing.

I'm probably not thinking about this clearly enough, but I'd have said that "nonthreatening boys" = "boys who you reckon (rightly or wrongly) you could take in a fight", as distinct from "boys who look like they could squish you like a bug".

I may well be talking out of my ass.

And I may be reading into the whole concept. Its just always felt like such a sexist/homophobic construct to me -- and it rankles that everybody (including people who are neither sexist nor homophobic) just seems to accept it as fact.

Huge amounts of job-ma for Tom. And also dental-ma for Shir.

I need to go for a run today. That 10k isn't going to train for itself. However, don't wanna! I did put together a potential list of triathlons to do for next year though. So somewhat productive.

Fay's school inspector person really lives up to his name! Sheesh.

Go to Wildflower!

I'd love to! But I'm thinking not for 2009, since the race is in May and I've been slacker-child with training.
