I used to look cute, accessorize, and generally be majestically badass. Yeah, that’s right, MAJESTICALLY! Now I mostly look butch and like I need to eat some sandwiches. What happened??
This poor cuddle monster has pink eye. Plans tonight? Not anymore! Constantly flushing his right eye with saline solution in hopes that he can dodge a trip to the vet. I’m too damn broke, yo!
I’m using neti pot saline packets and a free syringe that the pharmacist gave to me for free. The pharmacist is from the islands and told me, “Honestly, there was a pink eye outbreak at my high school, and none of us went to the doctor. All we did is flush our eyes with saline solution. People outside the US don’t go to the doctor for conjunctivitis”. I had a feeling that was the case, so here’s hoping I caught it early enough!
If others will step up, I will help organize slutwalk 2012. I’m not willing to do it without other serious folks showing interest up front. After the 2011 walk, I was immediately interested in getting involved in possible future walks (coming from both praises for and serious issues with the way it went). As you can see, it isn’t going to be organized if people don’t speak up.
Ideas? Anyone?
Blurry/grainy photo and terrible posture aside, my interpretation of drag ball attire is obviously just dressing as Ellen Degeneres. On a positive note, I learned how to tie a double windsor.
Falcor and I have similar reactions to some of these social theory texts we’re reading today.
Golf. My God
I can’t remember how this came my way today, I apologize. As you may have noticed earlier this week, I’m fascinated by Christopher Walken. Read these quotes.
In other news, quitting smoking means my ass is on its way back y’all! Progress updates to come.
Want to get on my nerves?
Telling me you cannot bake leads me to one of three conclusions:
1) You are impatient.
2) You cannot follow directions.
3) You are an idiot.
JSTOR opens limited free access option non-subscribing scholars
Now JSTOR is getting ready to go one step further, by cutting a small window in its paywall for visitors who are not affiliated with any subscribing institution. The new program, called Register & Read, will soon let anybody read back filed JSTOR content at no cost.
Under the new program, unsubscribed visitors will be allowed to check out three “items” from the JSTOR archive every two weeks, which they will be able to read for free. In order to prevent piracy, the texts will be displayed as image files (so that text cannot be copied). Users will not be able to download the files.
The depletion of the traditional professoriate has produced a new demographic of unmoored scholars who might not have “the consistency of access that they want,” says Heidi McGregor, a spokeswoman for JSTOR. The goal of Register & Read would be to better serve that population — as well as others that the organization might not have even known about.
Seventy journals are participating in the pilot, including Ecology, American Anthropologist, PMLA, the Journal of Political Economy, the Journal of Finance, and the American Historical Review.
