chanson, January 4, 2009November 9, 2011

Hi ladies and germs. Last night I just got back from a lovely vacation visiting family and friends in Paris and Maastricht. Since I had only a few minutes of Internet here and there the whole time, naturally the Outer Blogness folder of my personal reader was overflowing with several…

chanson, December 21, 2008November 9, 2011

Since I’ll be setting off on vacation soon, I just thought I’d gather up a few light and amusing tidbits from Outer Blogness this week. Some Outer Bloggers didn’t follow my secret plan (writing about such serious topics as modern-day slavery and shock therapy). But most of the rest did….

So the visceral anger over Proposition 8 has mostly passed, and Outer Blogness has moved on to processing, analysis, and planning the next steps. On resigning from the CoJCoLDS: Kullervo’s doing it, and I’m still working on my letter. I’d have mine done already, but I’m not sure I can…
