I like the one where her sister cuts off her toe.
And the other one cuts of her heel.
I really like The Snow Queen. I think about it whenever someone becomes someone I don't feel like I know anymore.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Don't forget that the birds from Cinderella's mother's grave came to her wedding, perched on her shoulders, and poked out her stepsisters' eyes as they walked beside her up the aisle and back down afterward.

Always Anti-fascist!
Never really wanted to be a princess. Although I would have taken years off my life to do at least one Jedi Mind Trick.

Does anyone here have a strong opinion, one way or the other, on Ruby Payne's books on poverty?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
For me, the allure of fairy tales wasn't being a princess. It was the heady combo of danger, abandonment, sexuality, and magic.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Cash, not a strong opinion, but I think they're useful as entry-level books for people who need to examine their social assumptions. There's a lot of generalizations, but for people so rooted in Middle Class thinking that they have no conception of life without Little League (or soccer league, or ballet class, etc), they're effective.

Thanks, Abi. I think they might be a good start for me for my mentoring gig. I don't need a lot of scholarly psychology for this kind of work, but some hands-on, practical theory. I know she's not exactly beloved by all but I think she is working on backing up her works with more research.

I, shamefully, really like Disney's Little Mermaid. For the music. And Disney's Beauty And The Beast will always make me happy, because hey! Giant library! Plus it has one of my favorite scenes ever:
"Papa, do you think I'm odd?"
(Obviously kind of nutty inventor father rolls out from under current invention. While wearing goggles.)
"My daughter? Odd? Of course not!"

I met with my advisor.
I managed not to cry until I left his office.
Choice quote from today, "When you look at what you've written here, can you tell the difference between good writing and bad writing? Or do you think this is good writing?"
Also, he still has not read more than 2 pages of the sixteen-page paper I gave him over a month ago. But he also says that I can't put the paper up on arxiv until he OKs it.
