Today I get to ramble around Chapel Hill and Durham with smonster and amyth. (Mostly rambling via car rather than walking, as my ankle's still being something of a little bitca.) Yay! I haven't been out of the apartment for anything except one day of work since Sunday. But first, coffee and a trip to the vet.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!
'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
positivism
is the Nazi Germany of the scientific theories.
Oh, no doubt of that. The essay is asking me to put the theories into context. Which I like. I just need to read more around the context, being neither an historian nor a criminologist.
Come to Israel! We'll have coffee!
Hee. Yes, that solves my dilemmas.

So cool! Have fun :)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Big fat flakes of snow. It's so pretty! Glad I don't have to go out in it. The rose is trying to bud for the 4th time this year. Little bud curled up all tight and grumpy getting snowed on.
Instead of hanging on the porch where there's food and shelter, Stray Cat #1 is on the patio getting snowed on, so she can play with Leo. Through the glass.
Good thing I went to the store yesterday. Hate to be snowed in without BACON. Donner, party of seven, your table is ready.
What the hell is "positivism"? Did this happen after I left school, or did I just block it from my negativistic mind?

Nah - in social science context, this was mostly a nineteenth-century thing. It's an empiricist approach which holds that the principles of the natural sciences can be applied to society. Most social theorists/researchers now find this approach decidedly dodgy, but it was an important development in the social sciences in the 19th C. [link]

The little one I am watching just woke up because he needed a diaper change and was not very happy to see me instead of mommy or daddy. He seems to be falling asleep again now.

I'm home now with my ovaries aching. G is so adorable. I find it relatively easy for me to take care of a toddler, so I am hoping it will mainly be the first year or so that I will need to adapt baby care to my disability. t /navel gazing

Oh, right. I forgot about it.

I'm waiting for my niece to get old enough that I can babysit for her without other people there. It's not safe at the moment, as I can't get up the stairs in my sister's house to change her etc. Maybe she can come and stay with us a in a year or two. Would be very cool.
I forgot about it.
I plan to do just that, once this essay's written.

The friends I babysit for are super cool about bringing diapers and extra changes of clothes for the baby downstairs so that I don't have to go up and get them. The only problem being that their only bathroom is upstairs.
