Reading NOLA in Dhalgren, or, the Dhalgren in NOLA

Dhalgren in New Orleans – what an old science-fiction novel can tell us about the Big Easy.

Well, yea. Disaster novels will certainly have similiarites to, um, actual disasters.

Yarrr~! Instead of Having Babies, Women Could be Pirates!

Oh, look! Another hysterical “OMG, I FORGOT TO HAVE CHILDREN!!!” peice! Yarrr!

Women who wait until their late 30s to have children are defying nature and risking heartbreak, leading obstetricians have warned.

This assumes:

1) all women want to have children

2) not having children is heartbreaking

2) women don’t want to become pirates

Yaarrr!

Getting There

I have 34 more chapters to line-edit by Friday. I’m on pass 3. Haven’t done much else this weekend except laundry, grocery shopping, reading the first chapters of all of the big fantasy sagas on my shelf, and trying to ignore the Lost marathon that Jenn & K are indulging in.

Ignoring Lost has been very difficult. It’s a sweet little show.

But NO!! I MUST BE STRONG!! I can’t get addicted to another tv show. I… must… work… write… yes… must… work…

Also, I slaughtered a bunch of nations playing Cossaks.

heh heh

That was great.

Then I worked on some fight scenes for God’s War.

That was sweet.

Lost is still playing.

Arg!!! MUST RESIST!!!

Michelle Rodriguez is guest starring in season two.

FUCK!!!

The Most Useless Quiz Ever

It’s Catching

And yet, why is it that something tells me the bisexuality has been there the whole time and isn’t something that has only recently come upon college co-eds?

I’m interested in how common it becomes among both men and women to have sexual experiences with those of the same sex the more we take down the social barriers that dissuade people from acting out their desires.

You Mean Men and Women Are Just People?

A study has found that the differences between men and women have been vastly overestimated… The American study found significant differences in only 22% of traits. These included sexual behaviour, where men were less willing to show commitment, and in aggression — men were more prone to anger. Men were also, the psychologists found, better at skills involving co-ordination such as throwing.

Hyde analysed the studies by recalculating the data from them so they were comparable. In 30% of the traits analysed, she found almost no difference that was statistically significant between men and women, while there were only small differences in another 48%. “This means 78% of potential gender differences are small or close to zero,” she said.

And even these differences could be largely explained away by the ways men and women are raised to use their bodies, how to rate relationships and commitment in their lives, and how to react when threatened or frustrated.
