'tainted love'

some of you will be overly thrilled by my latest (well, let's be honest, my first) karaoke performance a la scarlett johansson. (I'm hoping that at least one of you will pick up that reference...marci maybe?) yes, 'tainted love' was on the mic and I was singing into it. after a half-pint of stella, I felt slightly less worried about singing in front of loads of gay men (and some of them were REALLY good, to make me feel even more nervous). all in all, the experience was quite the success. harry sang a morissey song just after me and, with our new found gutsyness, we will be making the retro bar a regular spot on wednesday evenings.

on other fronts, life is good but very busy. first paper: done. second paper: still needs to be started. classes: lots of reading. dissertation: have thoughts of a cool topic, but definitely more work to be done. running: going okay; will decide on june marathon in the next two weeks. friends: quite well, lots of activities planned, though papers and sickness is keeping several people out of play for the moment. tvm: must learn lines in the next two weeks and I just got a second part, as someone dropped out. (new part: what would your vagina wear? what would it say? anyone?) other sorts of business abound, but really, lots of good so that's nice.

must get to work on my to-do list of the day, so that I can negotiate a women's society meeting tonight and a genocide lecture in completely different parts of the city. wanted to post you all on the latest...not that it is overly exciting by any means, but so that there is something new to read on the blog, at the very least.

be in touch soon y'all. and, of course, love to all.
