Wishing You All a Restful Holiday...

Posted by annajcook in Thoughts on 12 24th, 2011 | 6 Comments
  via As I write this post, Hanna and I are listening to the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols broadcast from King’s College, Cambridge, England and eating cornmeal molasses pancakes. I put in my last hours of work for 2011 yesterday afternoon at the MHS and now both Hanna and I...

On Elf Work...

Posted by PhDork in Thoughts on 12 13th, 2010 | 27 Comments
Hermione Grangers's S.P.E.W., the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, is unfortunately not an option. It’s the holiday season, and if you’ve been reading, you probably know I’ve been baking up a storm.  Tis the season for it, and for shopping, wrapping, decorating, writing...

Friday Fun Thread: C is for…...

He's my favorite favorite favorite. Cookie, of course.  But also Christmas, and (if you spell it right) Chanukkah. The holiday season is here, and while we’ve dug out the seasonal music, strung up some garland, and started holiday shopping, it doesn’t feel real until I can taste it. ...

Taking Back Halloween...

Posted by PhDork in Thoughts on 10 26th, 2010 | 26 Comments
Boo? In between grading and writing and socializin’, I’ve been thinking about Halloween.  I’ve been invited to several parties this weekend, and all of them require (okay, request, no one is going to kick me out) that I arrive in costume. I’m not great at coming up with costume...

Have Yourself a Rapey Little Christmas...

Posted by SarahMC in Thoughts on 12 3rd, 2009 | 52 Comments
Whilst shopping with my mom over Thanksgiving break, Baby it’s Cold Outside came on in one of the stores. I hummed along for a few moments but then remembered – damn, this song is rape culture under the mistletoe. The song is a duet; the lyrics (with the male part in parentheses) are as...

Friday Fun Thread: Halloween Costumes...

Posted by SarahMC in Friday Fun Thread on 10 30th, 2009 | 42 Comments
Faces blurred to protect the (not so) innocent. I’m going to spare you the requisite ARGGH SEXXXY HALLOWEEN COSTUMES! post because I’m exhaused by the ever-worsening sexxxy Halloween costumes, and you can find hilarious take-downs and round-ups elsewhere. Instead, I am sharing with you the...

Sorry Doesn’t Cut It....

Posted by SarahMC in Thoughts on 06 19th, 2009 | 11 Comments
Yesterday, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution apologizing for two and a half centuries of slavery in America. When I read the news, my first thought was – wait, they hadn’t done that yet? The House passed its own version of an apology last year. The Senate version states that...
