So..I'm cataloging a Graphic Novel devoted to Wonder Woman.

The intro has this to say a/b her creator: "Dr. William Moulton Marston was a trailblazing feminist theorist, as well as a man involved with what some might consider an anachronistic quasi-polygamist relationship with two women. He cared deeply about the idea of women's liberation, which he often explored through tales of bondage and submission. Marston wanted to create a role model for young girls, while also appealing to the desires of his male readers."

Thinking back to Wonder Woman and her delicious rope, this all makes so much sense!

So, I've become somewhat fascinated by the ads that are generated by emails sent to my gmail account.

This morning was especially interesting. The bear sent me an email that generated ads for the following:

1) Siamese Appleheaded Kittens
2) Superballs
3) Havanese Puppies
4) Happy Heiny Diapers


Hmm.....

God, it is SO good to be back in Atlanta. I guess I didn't realize how much my environment could impact my ability to be open, to be myself. In Alabama, I am only a fraction of myself--all of the  other parts--are tucked away and don't manifest themselves until I'm back home. To be able to fully express myself--and all parts of myself--is something that I don't think I will ever take for granted again.

My friend from school should be here in a few hours. She wants me to show her Atlanta. Besides going to the High, she's not particularly interested in very touristy spots so I think the next few days should be fun.

I'm finally done with this semester! In celebration, I'm going to a Battlestar Galactica Party tonight. I suppose it's only natural that when you get a bunch of librarians together, nerdy party themes will certainly ensue. For any fellow BSG fans out there: "So say we all!"

Before that though, I'm going to yoga this afternoon. Looking forward to it; it has become a highlight of my week.

Then tomorrow, I am HOME for a over a week! Woohoo!

Current Mood: excited

I'm so happy. Plans have changed so I'll be able to spend more time with the bear, attend the WS event (which means seeing dear family members and new friends) AND I will get to see Luckygirl74 in mere DAYS. :)

OK--just 3 more nights of classes. Must concentrate.............

Current Mood: giddy

I only have three days until this semester is over. I had three final assignments and I am DONE with them. It is now just a matter of last-minute editing and attending classes for the next three days. Then I get a BREAK for ab a week and a half.

I am trying to arrange spending at least a week in Atlanta. If possible, I want to stay in Atlanta from 8/10-8/19. That would be the longest stay in Atlanta since I moved. I so hope it works out.

I went to yoga again today. I just started going a/b 3 weeks ago. I am loving it and hope to continue going, as time allows. It's making me very happy in many ways. I somewhat suspected that I was getting a bit of a masochistic high from some aspects; that theory was pretty much confirmed today when my teacher told me that the "good" pain that sometimes come from yoga is called "pleasure-pain." Quite an a-ha moment for me.

So, HP #7 has arrived. It sits next to me, less than two feet away. Meanwhile, I am preparing for a presentation that I have to give on Monday.

My brain repeats a continual loop: Powerpoint or Potter?..........Powerpoint or Potter?....................

So, I may *actually* turn on my television this weekend. I cannot remember the last time it was on. In general, I'm not a fan of most television programming but I at least try to catch the "news" on a nightly basis.

Mainly due to weird class scheduling, I just haven't turned it on at all --for weeks probably. I may actually watch a Netflix DVD tonight. It's a/b time too b/c it's been sitting here for a couple of weeks.

Although, on weekends my BIG temptation is "BookTV" on CSpan--48 hours of nonfiction books. LOVE IT. I realize that most people do not feel quite as enthusiastic a/b BookTV but I have met at least 2 other people who also watch it. So, I know I'm not alone in this. Really.

The new HP book will be on my doorstep tomorrow AM. I MUST resist. Although, I will at least open the box so that I can touch and smell the HP Goodness. Mmmmmm........

I can sometimes be a bit of a perfectionist. I'm also more than a little OCD a/b some things.

This is a BITCH when it comes to academics and it's hell on the whole idea of "time management." When I've got 2 presentations, 4 papers and a midterm --all b/f next Tuesday--this is the time to accept "good enough." Yet, I find this so fucking difficult. *sigh*
