Bike home from Northeast at 1.30 a.m.

border-studies:
A friend of mine in Beijing received this strange job posting by email - is it just me or does this sound like the beginning of a horror movie?

NOW ALL I CAN DO IS READ OLD EMAILS
“Hong Kong drinks but doesn’t create. Beijing creates but doesn’t really drink. The wine is stored in my room.”
“China is full of this sort of creative opportunity. Maybe New York is too, but I didn’t feel that way when I was there. I felt looked-over for older versions of myself.”

Time Passes
Just searched through my e-mail for “defense” (to see thesis defense schedule) and somehow came to my e-mail chain with Kari about our lame 21-year-olds book club, and somehow came to diary-entry-like e-mails sent from Hong Kong, and somehow found this description of a night:

A New Post up at The Quota Project
Hopefully this answers some of the great questions I got last week about what is “feminist” about this project. And what is definitely not.
Also I am going all out that week. You can follow thequotaproject’s tumblr and tweets. I will be steadily updating in anticipation of starting this Friday, and clicking lots of familiar faces to follow.

flash inspired by two women wearing the same shirt...
Maurice and Paul showed up at the party wearing the exact same shirt. It wasn’t only the same plaid pattern, which was common, it was also cut in a Western way, and the petalling of the cuts was exactly the same, and the buttons were brass-edged moonstone and both were embroidered with the very same figure of a rose just above the heart. Ellen Miles made them let her check the labels; which...

In Which I Set out on The Quota Project:
Yo! I have a new blog that is perfectly formatted. And has comment capabilities. So go there. Or just read below. Because I need your help!
Could you feminists out there help me define what media made by a man is? Read on…

My rant becomes real. Check out my new website, where I’m about to post some things. Which I’ll link to here, obviously. Because obviously.

From Best Friends Forever Ep. 4:
— Dating’s weird. Did I ever show you this scar I got on my back? I was having sex with this lady cop I met online and her pet bird attacked me, went to town on my back like i was a bird feeder.
— Would you put your shirt back please?
— Did you hear what i said? It went to town on my back like I was a birdfeeder.
— What’s your point?
— My point is it...
