...official: I m a really bad feminist. Odd, since I sincerely believe in the equality of sexes. This equality still fails to show up in the gender ratio of faculty or even of section assholes. Feminism does and did a lot to banish such inequality (understatement) and I m grateful that I can pursue whatever catches my fancyaexcept, considering my petite stature, maybe wrestling or basketball.

...have known for a while, but had not forced myself to admit. As I, along with the rest of '02, prepare for the imminent plunge into the murky waters of blocking, I need to confess my one secret to my roommates: You're living with an eight-year-old. Banish me from the R-rated bathroom conversations. Stop using bananas as lecture aids. I am just not old enough to hear about that.

He is, after all, only a baseball player...

...mailing list I set up for the six friends I used to dine with every day when I was a newspaper reporter. Outlook went even further by adding a simple bozo filter, which allows me to click on any message, select "Junk Mail" from a drop-down menu, and banish to the slag heap for eternity anything that arrives from that sender.
