head vs desk: December 2012
http://headvsdesk.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 29, 2012. Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book. Roman philosopher, statesman and orator – b. 3 January, 106BCE) *. So, it seems that even two thousand years ago parents despaired that their kids’ generation would be the downfall of society, that everything that they’d worked for would be swept aside by the narcissism and self-importance of the ‘modern youth’. What does this tell us? I could do that! So go ahead and write that book, but ke...

When life gives you roadkill, make meatloaf. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. Happiness at the misfortune of others. The most distressing thing in Vegas was not the rednecks pulling their. Very young children around the casinos on leashes in the middle of the night. It wasn't the hideous food poisoning I suffered, nor was it being trailed down the street at 1am by a pick-up full of men hollering about the soft parts of my body. No, the most distressing thing about Vegas was narrowly missing out on this:. Was cance...

Connected again - Theres always time for a book. 08:37 am March 12th, 2011. The house settlement went through without a problem, and the move was fast and easy thanks to our families (who are useful people with access to large vehicles). And, in stark contrast to our last move to the UK, we have our phone and internet up and running already. So I hope to be able to re-join the online world again soon! After we put together ikea wardrobes and bookcases so we can finish unpacking. Or Leave a comment. Comme...

There's always time for a book
http://emmaco.livejournal.com/tag/happiness%20list
Theres always time for a book. 09:51 pm December 19th, 2010. Still having trouble with making time for recreational internet. But here is a short update in the form of happy things that have happened recently. And although the lack of book posts makes it appear that I don't read books any more, the opposite is true. I now have a 45 min train trip each way to work so I am reading lots of great books, assisted by item 2 below. Libraries, crawling and tropical rain. Or Leave a comment. Or Leave a comment.

Have you got your Vplates? - Writing in the margins
http://julialawrinson.livejournal.com/18899.html
Writing in the margins. Have you got your Vplates? January 31st, 2010. When I read this. By Alexandra Adornetto, I wasn't sure whether to laugh, cry, or wonder whether I'd woken up in 1950. (I will try to put down some of the more naive comments to her youth, but Tony Abbott. Has no excuse.). But I want to ask: why are we having this debate about virginity? Why the focus on what young women are or aren't doing? Where is the discussion of young men's behaviour - which to me would seem the more worrying?

Writing in the margins. Entries by tag: yes. February 14th, 2010. No, this isn't a reference to the Great Virginity Debate. It was a new year's resolution of sorts, and so far it's bearing fascinating fruit. Is my tenth publication in ten years. Last year I was overwhelmed by the dayjob and other projects, and I was frustrated at all the writing-related things I had to say no to. So this year, prompted by a comment by a friend (thanks Danae!

Writing in the margins. The life of public education. March 13th, 2010. And then I went to high school. It was like descending into Dante’s hell without a guide. The violence and suffering were epic.

As someone who never finished high school but subsequently gained several university qualifications, including a PhD, I am cheered to find that I am part of such a surprising statistic.
