a list of things:

1. i am sitting in the divinity library. i work here. it's a methodist school and there are a lot of methodists here, even though i still don't know exactly what that means. one of my coworkers is considering 'converting' (do you have to convert to move from one denomination to another?) to anglicanism and i told her that sounded like the really boring christianity.

2. the other day, i do believe i was the first jew anybody had ever met. i still find this shocking.

3. i'm in my second semester of my masters in environmental management and in my fourth semester of graduate school. i am taking one of the most spectacularly boring courseloads i could have imagined.

4. while i hate microsoft office 2007, i just got a set of three licenses for $75 and you really can't beat that.

5. i am in love with kate spencer and manhunter. also barbara gordon. i want to be a superhero and it really bums me out that this will (probably) never happen. probably for the best, i don't look great in tights.

6. current love: root beer. currently reading: understanding and responding to climate change from the national academy of science. big plans: bull mccabe's on saturday night, despite the cold.

7. current sadness: law firm rejection letters. boo.

(eta) 8. go do thelittlebang. no, seriously.

also, in really kind of exciting news, the jewish theological seminary, one of the biggest and most well known conservative jewish seminaries in the country, has decided to immediately begin accepting out gay and lesbian students into its rabbinical and cantorial programs.

press release here.
