I’m back

I’m waiting for Typekit to populate/propagate my font. I’m using Cooper. It’s been some time since I’ve blogged. There’s so much to say I don’t know where to begin. I’ll just chalk it up to a lost and found year. The font makes the webdesign. I have to finish rebooting things here.

As always, the design reflects things about my life too numerous to go into. For instance, I tried to de-clutter and get things squared away into a single-file simple column. I failed. However, things did get shoved to the bottom, all linky and soldier-like, messy in an orderly fashion, but overwhelming from a big-picture perspective.

The Sells-Jaros household is now just the Sells household. The Jaros household will be a household with someone else. Quite surreal. The Sells household is also without the beloved Pach Du. That was a devastation too great to be accounted for – [...]

Another reason to like Hillary

Nonverbal communication expresses power and dominance. In public, professional settings, who gets to touch whom and the nature of that touch plays out and defines gender relations. Because it’s typically subtle, people are often unaware of this dynamic. When it’s more obvious, those who are in the “one down” position see it clearly and those in the position of power remain oblivious as part of their sense of entitlement. The stereotypical male boss/female secretary and male customer/female waitress interactions illustrate this over and over again. However, as gender roles change, the accompanying nonverbal behaviors change with them. Hillary is the perfect example.

This clip from Mad Men illustrates my point (see :40 – :50). Mad Men is a wonderful show to use for examples like this because it does such a good job of capturing the cultural milieu of the 50s and 60s [...]

Sarah Palin is a Diva

By ~LS~ On October 26, 2008 · 1 Comment · In Feminism, Politics and tagged Tagged With: Feminism, Hillary, Politics, Sexism

From CNN

“She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone,” said this McCain adviser. “She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.”

“Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom.”

If this were a Hilary quote I’d be livid. I would read it as a sexist slam against her solid leadership skills. But when I read it about Sarah Palin, all I did was snicker, and think it was an excellent characterization of someone with no leadership skills at all. She’s so not ready to be president.

The article makes it a point to talk about other vice-presidential candidates who were off message and “going rogue” as well, which makes [...]

Hillary and Barack

By ~LS~ On February 8, 2008 · 3 Comments · In Feminism, Politics, Race and Racism and tagged Tagged With: Hillary, Obama, Sexism

I am still torn between Hillary and Barack and I have only a handful of days before I must decide. I suspect that when I get to the poll, it will be a gut reaction which one I choose. I think Hillary has more experience, especially legislative experience, which is needed to get work done, but Barack represents something fresh and new, a new generation of politics, which appeals to me greatly.

I don’t like the way that Hillary and Barack have gone for each others’ jugular during their campaigns. I think the bile spewed between the two has diminished the process and reduces it to politics as usual rather than “something new,” which we desperately need. I hope that, by the time the election comes, democrats are not too bitter about winning or losing so that they become disaffected and don’t vote. I’m especially concerned that all the black [...]

Last three movies I’ve seen:

1. Atonement (not as hot as I thought it would be)
2. Bucket List (I cried a little, I admit)
3. Aliens Vs. Predators 2 (sucked worse than I thought it would)

Last 3 songs I downloaded:

1. Chemicals Between Us — Bush
2. MachineHead — Bush
3. Speed Kills — Bush

(I’ve been on a Bush kick lately; I’m not sure why)

News in the Household:

1. We finally got Willow’s passport in the mail and we are excited about going to Ireland for Spring Break.
2. Shadda (aka The Blue Cat) is still pooping on Steve’s chair.
3. The niece hasn’t asked for money in at least a week.
