steenblogen: are women human?

http://steenblogen.blogspot.com/2006/04/are-women-human.html

A number of people sent me this link. To last week's Guardian. Interview with Catherine MacKinnon, and so I thought it should be mentioned here, too. One of them, a former student, astutely noted that Camille Paglia and Katie Roiphe are quoted to show the "other side" of the argument, and lamented that even in an article on a new feminist text "we are informed about MacKinnon's age, looks, and clothes! Some things have not changed.". MacKinnon's new book, Are Women Human? And Other International Dialogues.

steenblogen: two things

http://steenblogen.blogspot.com/2006/03/two-things.html

There's "a new online critical resource on product placement in the movies" called Brand Hype. That's just been released. I haven't really had the time to play with it in any real way yet, but its creators say that while it's still in development (they compare it to the early beta years of the Internet Movie Database. Oh my Not only do they cover AC/DC, but also KISS, "Mountain Love" and other classics (yes, Led Zeppelin are represented! Thanks for the tip, Jim! Brand Hype is brilliant. 24 March, 2006.

340 meters per second: Tiny terrors.

http://340mps.blogspot.com/2007/09/tiny-terrors.html

340 meters per second. Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement. Mdash Alfred Adler (1870-1937). Friday, September 07, 2007. I wonder if this is how Truman felt when the Russians detonated their first nuke. Her motor skills are such that, upon stepping outside and being set free on the front lawn of our apartment building, she immediately bolts for the sidewalk and makes a beeline for the nearby park. This secluded play area behind our building has become...

steenblogen: ch-ch-ch-chia!

http://steenblogen.blogspot.com/2006/03/ch-ch-ch-chia.html

Spotted on Friday afternoon on St-Laurent. I'd heard of them before, but had never actually seen one up close! It's actually covered in something that looks (and feels) more like astroturf ( see close-up, right),. But the detailing is absolutely amazing - each and every groove is covered. Not only does it draw a crowd (on-lookers were gaping from their cars as they drove by.) but I imagine it would be really easy to find in a parking lot! 28 March, 2006. I suspect the hug would give you beard-burn.

steenblogen: since I've been gone...

http://steenblogen.blogspot.com/2006/08/since-ive-been-gone.html

Since I've been gone. Daytime and nighttime have almost completely blurred;. Email, blog and voicemail have become asides;. Serialized television has dropped completely from my radar (and hurrah for the DVD! Showers have become a 3-5 minute luxury (and long baths an opulent dream);. 9 o'clock has become a perfectly reasonable adult bedtime;. An hour-long visit from a dear friend has become an absolute delight;. A notebook list of feeding times and notes-to-self has replaced my once overflowing agenda;.

steenblogen: no, women are definitely NOT chicks

http://steenblogen.blogspot.com/2006/03/no-women-are-definitely-not-chicks.html

No, women are definitely NOT chicks. So the finance section of sympatico/msn online. Reported last week that economists are seriously concerned about the potential for the bird flu pandemic to drop the global GDP. Two to six percentage points. Report of this kind that Cooper has produced to date, and the IMF. Cooper compared a severe pandemic to that of the 1918 Spanish flu. Enough to potentially "push the global economy to contract for the first time since the Second World War.". Interestingly, cases of...

steenblogen: finally!

http://steenblogen.blogspot.com/2006/04/finally.html

Someone else asked the question: "What is the fascination with Britney Spears' uterus? Dean Dad," subbing in for Bitch PhD. Of late, puts out the question to the blogosphere, and while I eagerly await the comments (damn it's nice to be tuned in to a feminist blog that people actually read!

I blame the patriarchy.

steenblogen: cleanin' off the ol' desk...again

http://steenblogen.blogspot.com/2006/04/cleanin-off-ol-deskagain.html

Cleanin' off the ol' desk.again. This time because a new desk will be arriving on Saturday, and if I don't start filling up the recycling bin with loose newspaper items, old articles, and scraps of paper now I'm going to be in a world of mess then! Again, it's snippets from the standard daily read, the Gazette. But this time, a little less organized):. 12 April, A17. Headline: "Esteem is only skin deep". Subhead: "Looks can sway women's actions, study finds". 15 April, A9. Subhead: "Dreaded Rite of Summe...
