Lefties and Left-wingers

Mon pauvre abandoned blog! Fear not, I have not forsaken thee! *huggles*

What have I been doing (or not doing, in some cases) in these last 20-something days? Here's a sampler -

• went out for Japanese food, ate it with chopsticks without having a serious accident/injuring the other diners (for me, this is progress, so don't laugh!)
• bought a BUNCH of posters from the latest Imaginus sale - go gawk at them below.
• bravely resisted the urge to go on mad shopping urges - again, this is progress for me.

With all this talk about progress, I must seriously be on the road to nirvana or something, wot? :D

What I need in my life at the moment - is passion! No, get your mind out of the gutters (and stop reading period bodice-rippers) - what I mean, is that i need to find something I really care about. I'm at the point in my life where I need to seriously figure out what it is I want to do - and nothing at all interests me. To make matters worse, the professors I see every day of the week clearly love what they do. When my classics professors says he'd give a limb to sit in on a conversation between Caesar and Cicero, I believe him. The problem is - there's nothing I care about enough to break a nail over - let alone a limb. So how does the queen of "meh"-"who cares" find something she cares about enough to spend the rest of her life doing it?

Feedback on this issue would be much appreciated - serious stuff though. What can y'all see me doing?

Apparently they had a lecture/speech thing at St Mike's this past week (read about it at thevarsity.ca) , where the speaker (Stephanie Gray) argued that abortion was an act of genocide against the unborn - and I had had had to rant about it - so where better to do it than here?

Is the woman insane? Abortion is not some giant conspiracy by women against the massive ranks of the unborn! Granted - casual abortion isn't something i'd endorse, but that doesn't mean you should deny a woman's right to choose! The speaker in question didn't even think abortion was permissible in cases of rape! Fine, not everyone thinks abortion is right - I totally understand that. But even worse, she thinks birth control devices are acts of killing!In my opinion, her views on abortion aren't the subversive ones - it's her views on birth control. I mean, this is denying women the right to take steps to prevent a pregnancy which may be unwanted/inopportune! *grinds teeth*

Here endeth the rant - and here are the posters I'd bought at the sale. Let me know what you think!

Alright, the Star Wars one is really Geeky, but then I am an uber-geek, so it's to be expected - right?
