...until you get to the part about quoting annie sprinkle during grace. seriously, though, is there anything more frustrating and comfortable than being home for the holidays? i literally can't believe some of the things that are in the cupboards around here, but i also haven't laughed that hard for a long time.
for example. last night at dinner we were listening to johnny cash while we ate our scrambled eggs and velveeta. ray mused, "you know, if you really listen to the lyrics, it's not exactly a ring of fire. more like a cylinder." there was a pause and my father's eyes lit up, whereupon he said rapturously, "that is exactly what i've always thought!"

by day a political scientist! by night a significantly less intellectually responsible political scientist!

welcome to my blog. i'm a ph.d. candidate in political science at yale, a native midwesterner, and a happy californian. right now my research is about armed organizations and how they organize their violence against noncombatants, or fail to. i'm also interested in intentional community, gender in the academy, grad school pedagogy, fat politics, the religious left, my partner, our local farmers' market and idiosyncratic capitalization practices.
