Dilettante's Diary: the internal dialogue of a hedonist bluestocking.

I am a dilettante. I know quite a bit about a lot of things, but I don't know enough to be an expert on anything. I have a very sensual, hedonistic nature, but I am also a thinker, and I aim one day to be worthy of the label 'bluestocking', despite its pejorative connotations.

This is my journal, which, delightfully enough, doesn't have to go wherever I go, but is accessible from nearly everywhere I am.

Tidbits

I don't care much about or for Tom Delay, but if you want to see the latest website devoted to chronicling both his underbite and his hypocrisy, the House of Scandal is a good place to start.

Is the Social Security Reform advertising campaign that the Bush Administration has been running legal? Some people at Market Watch are raising their eyebrows over the 2.2 million dollar (and counting) price tag.

The Morning After Pill is hitting lots of roadblocks trying to get approval as an over-the-counter contraceptive because conservative moralists are concerned that it will lead to "loose morals" and increasingly risky sexual behaviour. But in a study released in January by the Journal of the American Medical Association and discussed by the Kaiser Family Foundation, easy access to emergency contraception does NOT result in an increase in unprotected sex. (I have a horrible thought. Perhaps that is the problem...all those Christian white girls couldn't be emotionally blackmailed into having babies, and the native white population would keep going down. What if, in order to get this emergency contraceptive over-the-counter, we have to ban selling it to Whites? Wouldn't that make Conservative Christian White happy? More white babies, fewer minority babies. Gawd, I'm awful.)

I didn't realize it, but the Canadians are now allowing seal hunting. Apparently they are in their third year of allowing sealers to harvest 320,000 harp seals between the ages of 12 days and 3 months old. Sad.

Clever New Brunswick offering tax incentives to college grads, hoping they will stay in the Province.

I found and interesting little blurb on the Norwegian Crown Prince Haakon and Swedish Crown Princess Victoria preparing to take on more adult duties in their roles as Royals.

And me, I'm on my way to Bellingham WA this weekend to drop Princess Stephanie off so her mother, Queen Evelyn, can drive her to Seatac for Monday's flight out to Stockholm.

I get the apartment to myself for two weeks, and when I get home I am going to do three things:
1-pull the shades
2-get naked
3-CLEAN!
