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: 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...

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...

Wrapped Up In Books: Queen Amarantha: An Otherworld Theatre Production
http://louisetripp.blogspot.com/2015/06/queen-amarantha-otherworld-theatre.html
Sunday, June 28, 2015. Queen Amarantha: An Otherworld Theatre Production. Therefore, I wasn't expecting much from this small theatre production when I was offered free tickets. So I was more than pleasantly surprised with the outcome: Queen Amarantha. The performances. And the set, though simple, was also versatile: it doubles as crumbling ruins and a lavish, shadowy throne. Meanwhile, the costumes were both extravagant and occasional props for comic relief.

Wrapped Up In Books: [[Turn To You: A Novella]] -- PART TWELVE
http://louisetripp.blogspot.com/2014/07/turn-to-you-novella-part-twelve.html
Monday, July 28, 2014. Turn To You: A Novella] - PART TWELVE. I was feeling a little down and out when Glenn came over to see Ben the next day. I had already called Asha twice with no answer and she hadn't called back. I felt idiotic. I wanted to know how things went, what Rhonda had told her and most of all, I wanted her to answer some questions for me. In my brown beanbag chair. Reading my latest issue of. Happen. Give the girl time.". I growled, annoyed. The problem," I hissed, "is that I have no.
