Ugh. I'm tired. It's going to be a long day.

Chivalry Poll Update

I just wanted to report on the results of the chivalry poll--it appears that participants were pretty evenly split--3 people said yes, chivalry is dead. 4 people said no, it isn't. 4 people said that it depends. And nobody voted for soup.

I guess that means that we're all pretty confused about the state of chivalry in our world today, which doesn't really clarify things for me personally (i.e. how does one distinguish between courtesy and chivalry, and if chivalry is actually dead, what replaces it or what should replace it?).

But it *is* clear that nobody has confused chivalry with soup. Thank goodness.

Saw that coming

Read the top story. It's upsetting on a number of different levels. Humans are so obsessed with physical appearances.

Woot!

I just bought a plane ticket to Boston. Look out, Beantownies, 'cause I'm headed your way for the Head of the Charles weekend (Oct 21-23)! It should be a fun one. I have no idea if I'll be rowing or not, but oh well.
