Watching: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
Listening: Alanis Morissette: So Called Chaos

Even if Alanis’ new record sucks pretty bad, her record names the chaos in my life. It’s only so-called.

Rolling stone gave Avril Lavigne a fucking 3.5 stars for her latest album. What is the deal.

I need to wean myself of surfing off of Netscape. It’s so mind-numbingly boring. Good god, I’ve read just about everything on their stupid pull “what’s new” pull-down box. At least three times, in fact. They never add anything new to those cheesy what’s new files.

I bought a web domain and web hosting capabilities. I named my domain www.voxygen.net. I’ve camped on www.voxygen.com for years and years. For a long time the name was registered but undeveloped. I figured the owner would bail from it since he or she just sat on it. But…now it’s a redirect page for [...]

What is that beautiful house – We're Virgin Homeowners

Reading: Jane Sexes it Up, by Merri Lisa Johnson

Life has been extremely complicated lately. On June 28, Steve and I bought our first home. Yes, we are a little late in the game, but we both don’t really want to grow up. Buying a first house was a stressful and time-consuming experience, as everyone warned. I didn’t believe them. Until I was in the thick of it. Then I learned.

In the process I did find this great book called The Virgin Homeowner, by Janice Papolos, which taught me about the structural aspects of a house. The book rocked. I showed it later to the home inspector, who also bought it and said he will now recommend it to all his new homeowner clients. Also, as everyone said, we will collect a number of stories about house-buying. And they were right about that as well.

For instance, the [...]

Simple Abundance

Another WTF was I thinking moment

I must have wanted simple abundance in my life. I cannot imagine why I might otherwise buy this book. Simple Abundance, by Sarah Ben Bretnach. I hardly think the Oprah Book Club sticker on the cover was a selling point. Simple Abundance is a “daybook” diary/journal that teaches readers to “simplify” their lives through consumption. The message is so ironic. One one page, Breathnach tells readers to discard all their glossy women’s magazines because they make us feel bad about ourselves and then on the next, in the very idiom of those glossies, she tells us to go shopping in order to discover our “authentic” selves. For instance, here is a representative quote from the Simple Abundance website:

Visit a hat store and try on a variety of chapeaux. You’re dashing in a black felt fedora, but perhaps the broad-brimmed straw with [...]

A Book List for Tween Grrls

By ~LS~ On April 16, 2002 · Add Comment · In Feminism, Generations, Pop Culture and tagged Tagged With: Books, Generations

Reading: Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine
Listening: Ray of Light, Madonna

My church has a Mother (or guardian)/Daughter Book Club that meets once a month to read books of interest to middle school girls. Last month, Willow and I attended the potluck that gets the book club off the ground. Everyone got to suggest one book and since there were twelve of us (six mother/daughter pairs) we each got to recommend a selection. The selections were quite amazing. Nearly all of them shared a common theme of girl power, -literally-. Most of them were about magickal girls of one kind or another.

So I decided that I’d make an entry listing the books that we selected along with Amazon links (to make ordering easier for me later on and to bookmark the reviews and previews). Hopefully as the group progresses, Willow and I will add our own commentary. [...]
