Soon, my darlings, soon!

January 22, 2008 by admin

Soon there will be a blog post! Soon there will be replies to the millions of emails and blog comments that I need to reply to! Soon! I’ve put tonight aside as “catch up on interweb socializing” night.

But in the meanwhilst . . .

Tanya visited me in Los Angeles! Look at how charming we are!


Wait until you see the pictures of us posing on the hood of our rental car!

I can’t wait until Tanya visits next year and we buy a $200 minivan and go on X-FILES TOUR 2009: NO BOYS ALLOWED (except for David Duchovny).

In an unrelated news update that will mostly be relevant to Amy (G.): There’s this guy I kind of know, and, well, I just found out that his middle name is Rhys. Which is almost as good as Roan. Or Gian-Carlo. Or any number of improbable, aristocratic-sounding names. The only problem is that he’s a philosopher. Ew.

    Excellent name.

    Unfortunately, due to the nature of his degree, this specific Rhys variation seems destined to become an asshole or at least very annoying.

    In sum, points for the name but proceed with extreme caution.

  2. Alexandra says:

    He is already painfully annoying as he never shuts up about Kant, Adorno and similar.

    However, I would be interested in testing to see if either of the following hypotheses prove true:

    If one were to get Rhys in the sack would he:

    a) finally stop talking about Kant, Adorno and similar,

    or

    b) continue talking about Kant, Adorno and similar but in a hot way.

    Unfathomable!

  4. Alexandra says:

    Um, fathomable in my rich fantasy life, actually.

    Charming, indeed!

  6. Amy says:

    A very interesting experiment.

    Again, I say proceed with caution.

    BTW how did you find out his middle name?

  7. Alexandra says:

    Oh, you know. Internet stalking.

    As a graduate student I do, after all, have pretty remarkable research skills.

  8. Amy says:

    Oh! Good. I was afraid the name knowledge was a result of an actual conversation. Which, as you know, we spinsters like to avoid at all costs.

    You could explore the philosophy thing though and ask him his thoughts about the work of Harding, Bordo, Hill Collins, Haraway, Hartsock, Beauvoir, et cetera… I’m all for ending the fantasy early.

    man I miss those feminist philosophy courses I had in undergrad.
