Dear Ms. Behavior:
I thank you for being funny as hell. I have been reading and rereading your etiquette guide ever since its publication.
I first found womyn through the personals, and then through the Womyn’s Studies Department, so I am thoroughly saturated with Cris Williamson, Holly Near, and the desire to act as I really feel. Read the rest of this entry »
Recently, I celebrated the first birthday of my semiautobiographical play.
That’s certainly no rare event in the Twin Cities, the undisputed world capital of unproduced, unasked-for, appallingly-bad, small-town-based play scripts.
But when I bought a birthday cake for my play, and decided to throw it a party, my friends reached for their therapists’ business cards quicker than you can say “Fringe Festival.” Read the rest of this entry »
Living in a vintage home presents its challenges. Our lifestyles have changed so rapidly over the past century that those charming (but small) kitchens and bathrooms may have a negative impact on your daily life.
If your home isn’t able to accommodate your needs, a remodel may be in order. That said, most homeowners would prefer to honor their home’s unique architecture, while enjoying a more functional and energy-efficient kitchen, for example. That requires an experienced remodeling company. Read the rest of this entry »

Iowa Republican Hopes To Be First Openly Gay Presidential Candidate
Radio Iowa reports that retired political consultant Fred Karger hopes to be the first openly gay presidential candidate. And he’s a Republican. He recently spent $100,000 to run a 90-second commercial about himself on FOX News in seven different Iowa media markets. He told a news conference in Des Moines in November that he wants to emulate candidates like Shirley Chisholm. Karger stated, “I’m a fighter. I’m fighting for millions of people around this country who are members of my community and so many others who are deemed second-class citizens.” Calling himself an independent Republican, Karger noted, “I think the Republican Party has moved so far away from mainstream America that it is losing tremendous support—people like me.” Read the rest of this entry »

Robyn
Robyn’s 2010 trilogy ends with a sort-of compilation of the past mixed in with the new. The set, which includes five songs each from Parts 1 and 2, tosses in five brand-new tracks. Unless you need the complete set, this one will serve you fine. The former teen pop star has hit the charts hard in 2010, being a real highlight in a year dominated by music that has been terribly tacky, utterly bland, or both—hey, Ke$sha, enjoying your 15 minutes? The latest single, “Indestructible,” continues Robyn’s hot streak for the year. It shows a bit more pop than the hard-edged disco she made earlier in the year. That sense of pop continues through the new tunes, which may give us an idea of where she’s going in the future. For the past, all the joys from the early releases are here, from “Fembot” to “U Should Know Better” to “Don’t Fucking Tell Me What to Do.” Read the rest of this entry »
