My Cabinet of Distractions: Eve.
http://memorychick.blogspot.com/2009/03/eve.html
My Cabinet of Distractions. Monday, March 30, 2009. Big things are afoot here in the Cabinet, possibly the biggest since its creation. You should now update bookmarks and browsing routines so as to find me in my brand new digs. Tres chic, non? You'll still be able to access everything about the old Cabinet, but I'm also not making the old Cabinet disappear. It's the best kind of move ever: I don't have to pick up anything heavy, and I can come back to the old house whenever I want. All hail the new season.

with blue stockings: February 2010
http://withbluestockings.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Celebrating reading, righteous babes, ESL and anything else. Thursday, February 18, 2010. My Mountain Man and Proust. I might be in love with this man who might be homeless. He was on the train today. Back when Pause Cafe was open, he used to stop in for the bathroom, which is why I think he might be homeless. He is also kind of dirty but this may be because he is a Mountain Man. My vague and almost gut-reaction association reminded me of Swann in Proust's In Search of Lost Time. Proust can be depressing...

with blue stockings: Slime!: The Stickiness of Eros / Vagina as Metaphor
http://withbluestockings.blogspot.com/2009/12/slime-stickiness-of-eros-vagina-as.html
Celebrating reading, righteous babes, ESL and anything else. Monday, December 14, 2009. The Stickiness of Eros / Vagina as Metaphor. I am interested in what makes desire horrifying. Here, so drawn in by the woman’s odor, I want to ask: Could we interpret that thick, sultry rottenness as a component of eros? From what I’ve read of Lawrence, particularly Lady Chatterley’s Lover. And sucks you in and down, down into murky helpless depths. Don’t worry. I know that literature isn’t reducible t...In literature...

with blue stockings: "Why do you tear me?": Bleeding, the Amish, & a welcome
http://withbluestockings.blogspot.com/2009/12/why-do-you-tear-me-bleeding-amish.html
Celebrating reading, righteous babes, ESL and anything else. Thursday, December 3, 2009. Why do you tear me? Bleeding, the Amish, and a welcome. Do you feel frumpy and culturally irrelevant? Dumped carelessly into the wrong time and place? Welcome, friend. Put on your bonnet and enjoy my budding blog. In the spirit of our frumpy foremothers, this blog will be a space about books, feminism, adventures in ESL tutoring, and so on. Past blogs of mine, from high school (& uh, into college.) could devolve ...

with blue stockings: Tutoring Update: In Which Things Get Really Real
http://withbluestockings.blogspot.com/2010/01/tutoring-update-in-which-things-get.html
Celebrating reading, righteous babes, ESL and anything else. Friday, January 15, 2010. Tutoring Update: In Which Things Get Really Real. Heading over to Laith and Aseel's apartment in a couple of hours, and I have to admit, part of me dreads it. As much as I care about their family, and about the subject matter they're learning, my visits are becoming increasingly emotionally difficult. Last week when I arrived at 3:30, Laith was too tired for any lesson. I talked with Aseel, who was very frustrated ...

with blue stockings: ESL post #1: Humiliating myself, as usual, in good ways
http://withbluestockings.blogspot.com/2009/12/esl-post-1-humiliating-myself-as-usual.html
Celebrating reading, righteous babes, ESL and anything else. Monday, December 7, 2009. ESL post #1: Humiliating myself, as usual, in good ways. Learning a language is infantilizing. It forces grown brains to bend back to their earliest education, when letters themselves signified only scratches, yielding no information. And again you begin in the most stuttering steps, in monosyllables, half-sentences. What I think I will find in tutoring ESL is that teaching. Then sitting:] I am on. I’ll be writin...

The Book of Love: The Place for Poetry

The Book of Love. It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing.'. Sunday, 17 May 2015. The Place for Poetry. Last week I was lucky enough to attend a fantastic poetry conference at Goldsmiths, University of London. All ready to present a paper on the first day of the schedule, I turned up with an open mind, very excited to be part of the variety of seminars, workshops, readings and presentations at the conference. The festival programme. A remix of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales....

Medieval Meets World: July 2014
http://medievalmeetsworld.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Medieval art history, navel gazing, horizon scanning. Thursday, July 31, 2014. C'est bien. Maintenant, vous êtes joignable." I am JOINABLE. You can join me. I am able to be joined. I absolutely love this phrase - contemporary, utterly clear, a distinct layer from past experiences living here. Now we'll give it a go. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. And so, oui. Can we also read Wind, Sand and Stars? Can we go to the Musée des Arts et Métiers and look at the planes hanging from the chapel vaulting? Well, most of t...
