just like a pile of leaves

more feministing up on this here blawg:

What to Expect When You're Aborting, a fascinating tumblr in which our unnamed narrator blogs about her experience. Snippet:

"Planned Parenthood: It's Kind of Like Baghdad. That shit is on lock like a fucking Iraqi roadside checkpoint. You have to turn in your phone, ipod, laptop. Bulletproof glass, armed guard. Once you walk into the waiting room a cool air blasts you and bossa nova starts playing. Surreal."
On Romanian film 4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, about abortion: "Honestly, shit is so f*cked up and backwards in Romania you will jump out of your seat and start chanting USA! USA! Like you're watching Shawn Johnson stick a perfect dismount on the mat."

Awesome.

a propos of nothing, will arnett, biking, yum.

Also, today in the library bathroom, at the very moment my index finger pushed the flush button the whole building erupted in sirens. I freaked out and searched the wall but the button I pushed did, indeed, appear to be the flush and not an emergency alarm button. Freaky deaky coincidence. The next time i peed the alarm did not go off, but you better bet I flushed with trepidation that second time.

And with that, I tear myself away from blogs to do Meaningful Serious Dissertion Work.
