downtostars asked: Have you gotten 13, or 38?
lemdi replied to your post: So I’m going to see Gotterdammerung at the movies tomorrow.
Doesn’t that usually take two days? Or is it the condensed one?
I think the whole cycle takes two days; I’m just seeing the last opera in it.
So I'm going to see Gotterdammerung at the movies...
The Met live in HD.
Six and a half hours. Of Valkyries and gods and horns.
I wish I had a date, but I ain’t afraid of going alone. It’ll be me and the old folks, as it usually is.
I love my daughter.
But she does this terrible, shrill, high-pitched screaming sometimes that makes me want to tranquilize her.
I hate it so much. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

Weepies = love :) I have you to thank for a current obsession of mine, 66 by Afghan Whigs. I remember seeing it on a playlist you’d posted a while back and since then I haven’t been able to get enough of it!
That’s my go-to sexy times song. Or, if...

pasteisfun asked: Have you read Spenser's "The Faerie Queen", and if so, what did you think?
I just finished grading my students' first news...
Grades were all over the place and, if I were not so hungover, I’d be having a really big, very alcoholic drink.

Ah, but how tall were you? Er, how old was he?
I was 5’5” (I grew two inches in college) and he was 18. My high school boyfriend.

I will answer 12 although no one asked.
I feel awful. Like death warmed over.
And … Sofia’s having a friend sleep over.

Work.
I’m a PhD student in mass communication.
I’m also:
A freelance journalist
Managing editor of a multimedia website working to bridge the Muslim, non-Muslim divide
I am also the project coordinator of the parent of this multimedia website
Right now I also teach news writing
“If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.”
– — Robert Capa (via life)
I love Capa’s work (his stuff from D-Day is legendary).
I had the chance to meet one of his photo editors in Paris. It was incredibly cool.
Dear Catholic Higher Ups,
Let’s step out of the Dark Ages, eh?
Contraception allows a woman control over her reproductive life and gives her freedom to pursue an education and a career before having (if ever having) a family.
Controlling that basic bodily function is absolutely necessary if women are ever to achieve parity in society.
It’s time, Catholic Higher Ups (MEN), to stop treating women as lesser...

A poem
Dear Liver, Dear Liver,
I think your color is brown
Dear Liver, Dear Liver,
With whiskey I you drown
Dear Liver, Dear Liver,
I promise to be good
Dear Liver, Dear Liver,
If you promise not too brood
What whiskey movie night is teaching me is I'm not...
I think my liver hates me.
Someone bring me french fries.
I will pay you in cat fur.
Movie night with friends means whiskey and...
The one to alleviate the pain of experiencing the other.
I'm so happy. I got my new media person to sign...
I want to marry her brain she’s so smart.
Seriously, two of the best classes I’ve ever taken — undergraduate or graduate — were with this woman.
I’m so freaking excited.

Disenchanted fan.
Let me be clear here, I’m a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan. I know what losing is all about. And what it’s like to hold out hope year after year.
When I moved to Alabama I became a Colts fan because, when the Titans weren’t on, it was the Colts. And, as I couldn’t root for the Titans as they’d formerly been the Oilers and because I grew up hearing about Johnny U from...
idsploder replied to your post: Okay, I want to know, who would play me in a movie?
Maria Bello.
I also love her and am so sad Prime Suspect got cancelled. The writing wasn’t great, but she was amazing in it. (Basically I want to drink a lot of scotch and shoot a gun and punch bad guys.)
Dangling participles.
Doesn’t that sound dirty?
notwhatihadinmind replied to your post: Okay, I want to know, who would play me in a movie?
Marion Cotillard.
Wow, she’s amazing. Le Vie En Rose is one of my favorite movies.
Let me tell you how much I love grading grammar...
Not at all.
I hate grammar.
I don’t want to teach it. Subjects, objects, bah-jects.
Oooh, these are good.
thatchris replied to your post: Okay, I want to know, who would play me in a movie?
Judy Greer
I had to look her up and then when I saw her face I was like, “Oh, her, I really like her.”
thesemicullen replied to your post: You guys are all over the place.
Laura Dern. No freaking question.
Cullen, this was inspired.
You guys are all over the place.
(I don’t normally do this, so sorry.)
megatim81 replied to your post: Okay, I want to know, who would play me in a movie?
Tina fey
Well, there are a lot of similarities between us. The glasses, the hair, the food and just generally being a disaster.

vrai-lean-uh replied to your post: So, is wanting to watch Gotterdammerung crazy?
I’ve been thinking about it myself. I heard the way they staged the ending was HORRIBLE, though.
Oh, no, six hours is a long time to sit still for an opera to only have the ending botched!
Okay, I want to know, who would play me in a...
It had better be someone badass.
For dinner tonight in Chez rosieloveswords:...
Because sometimes you just need comfort food.
(And whiskey; I’m gonna have some whiskey.)
