Yeah, I went to a Web site that was run by feminist Mormons and they were PISSED about Romney.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

From way back:
Pix, can you explain the NBPTS renewal process. For Entry 1, I just write about 4 professional growth areas. But then what is the extra pages of documentary evidence?I think I have a PDF of my entire submission if you want to take a look as a model. It took me freaking forever to figure out WTH I was supposed to be doing , but it came together well in the end. I know I would have liked to see a model of the whole thing, so let me know.

I heard that on the radio (the classical music public radio station) about 5 minutes ago. I thought it had been called for him Thursday or Friday, but I guess it wasn't official.

Le Nub, my sister just called and I lost the long post I wrote. And I just found the Sununu comment.
Let me just boil my comment down to racism makes as much sense to me as deciding to hate all people who are left or right handed. I KNOW there are layers and layers to racism and xenophobia, I know it's not a simple thing, and yet...it's so fucking ILLOGICAL to me. It offends me.
ETA: I understand hate. But one should, if one must hate, hate a person for something personal -- stealing your spouse, killing your dog, whatever. Skin color? It's like "Oooh, all people who like jeggings should not be able to vote because they are clearly dumb." I GET ethnic and cultural tensions, et. al., and know that's a part of it, and runs very deeply in some people, and often for good reason. But often, I just want to be a goddess for a day and fucking cluestick the shit out of a shitton of people.
And now, I am going to look at puppies or something for a few minutes and get back to work.

Woo hoo! My vote counted! Oh Florida, may you get it right some day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to say--that minorities mourning Romney tumblr is giving me great pleasure--it's so fun to send to people and get back "I refreshed a few times...and then I got it."
Earlier in the week, my mother asked if I had voted. I told her, of course, the working conditions of porn actors are very important to me. I'm impressed it took her this long to ask "WTF?" Once I'd explained it to her, though, she was totally on my side of "why is workplace safety even up for a vote?" I thought she might be weird about it, but a decent amount of my sister's work is about getting people to don the love glove, so maybe not.
For all I know my mother's been campaigning for safer sex. I find it really difficult to work out what her areas of expertise are.

OK, so...my heat had been turned off (I have water heat) while there was drama with the pressure expansion tank. And it wasn't that cold out anyway, and the heat tends to be OMG HOT ON, or not on at all.
But when I got home last night, it was 32 degrees out, and cold in the house, so this morning I turned the taps to "ON" so I'd get heat. But the blowers didn't seem to be working, so I went back downstairs, and it looks like the pilot light is out on the water heater. It has an automatic/electric lighter thing, apparently? I followed the instructions to flip that switch to off, and unplug the heater, and it said to wait five minutes for the gas to go away. Now I'm worried if I try to finish the directions and turn it on, I'll blow up my house. ARGH.

Damn skippy. I don't even like straight-legged jeans (mostly on me, though, because of how I am shaped; people with different shapes can rock the hell out of straight-legged jeans). I just bought 2 pairs of boot-cut jeans, and I want to marry them. Last night a friend asked, "Are those your new jeans? They make your ass look AMAZING!"
Friends like that are worth their weight in rubies.
