4:03 PM: the earth keeps on turning [#] [0]

sven turned the heat off and we ate our first meal on the back porch since summer! and had limeade! this must mean spring is here and summer's coming! afterwards we did a walkaround the house to see which places need more (or less...) plants. sven thinks the raspberry bushes will pull through, which will just thrill me to pieces and prove sunset's western gardener's approach correct, if drastic.

last night sven & i went to the vagina monologues at the hollywood theatre. it was a pretty good reading with good set design and benefitted two good causes (pwcl, which sven has just left, and birthingway, where jalex completed her apprenticeship). i'm glad i went, but i don't feel compelled to see it again: the monologues seemed to rely on atypical stories, like the lawyer-turned-pro-lesbian-domme or remote examples like the bosnian rapes & african female genital mutilation, which, while horrible, don't illuminate more common rape scenarios, date rape, or other forced-sex situations, and keeps such situations firmly on the "those things happen to other people" side of the street. there were also some spurious ethnic slurs. plus it seemed to have an anti-male tinge: i wish we could talk gender politics without resorting to why boys or girls are icky.

i can't believe march will begin tuesday. over the weekend, sven & i will hang out saturday after drawing class and do the se artwalk (thanks for the reminder, alex!). sunday i'll be taking a transfer printing class at the iprc. then "creative arts therapy" week begins and i haven't even looked at the schedule for that yet. and march is my last month of the current psu contract.
