Various Things Have Occurred
Jun. 8th, 2009 07:53 pmI have acquired new place mats for my dining room. Their vivid green, pink, and purple stripes go much better with the new dinosaur art.
Saturday night there was a delightful impromptu party. Faced with the dismal prospect of trying to find something treat-like from my local grocery store, I braved the kitchen and baked for the first time in eons. And the cake turned out really well! I feel like I have some mojo back.
On Sunday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
edm and I saw the transman documentary film Boy I Am. I'd gone to this intending to Support My Trans Friends and encourage the film festival to continue such programming, and to see what had happened to the FTM scene since the time in the mid-90s when I was involved with several FTM friends and related debates. The answer is: not much. The film out and out said that the mid-90s was the revolutionary period for that subculture. They were still quoting Hanne Blank and Jack Halberstam. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's a bit sobering thinking that I was there for such a seminal (testosteronal?) moment in history.
The honeymoon is over with my professional group volunteering, and the next meeting is going to be a political lulu. Needs to be done, though.
