Balloons would have been much more fun to shoot, but a leaping (e:terry) is cool, too. Citybration's communication sucks.

Thank goodness I don't have cockroaches. I assisted him out the window this morning. He spent the night in the sink. I think he couldn't get out.

I find the best way to move them is to catch them in your eye lid and then blink real hard till you get outside.

Madeline DavisCategory: ideas
Author, poet, activist Madeline Davis reading from her new memoir at the Screening Room.
heidi - 06/16/11 00:35
Yeah, I cropped some guy's head out of it and my phone was on super zoom with no flash... grainy, slightly blurry. She read a couple poems and two chapters from her memoir. The first chapter was introductory, but ch. 15 was about the 1972 Democratic convention. Madeline was the first ever out lesbian delegate to a major party convention and made a short speech asking the party to adopt a pro-gay platform plank. It failed of course, but how freakin' cool to be hearing about gay rights in July 1972 when the NYS senate may be passing a marriage equality amendment in June 2011? That's my lifetime, folks. Change is possible but it takes a lot people who have the courage to stand where she has.
She then read the 1972 speech in public for the first time since 1972. My eyes were wet. Her language asking for people to recognize our right to exist was so consistent with the rhetoric around same-sex marriage - all focusing on love. Amazing.

It was sufficiently functional to wash my hands. I didn't turn it all the way on for the picture.

Pretty Yes! Functional I doubt it look at how little water and it looks like the pressure level is low also........

Nice Pictures Would have been more fun with Balloons but it still turned out well.... I see I have a ton of posts to read on (e:strip) on sunday as well as a bunch of pictures to post and pictures to take tonight (bisons)
Ah! Sorry I was still in commonwealth-mode. Back home we have a five year integrated BSc/BA/BBA-LLB (w/w/o honours) professional degree. It's almost the same length as the med school degree but in law and without an additional year of internship/clerkship/rotating apprenticeship that we have in medicine. They graduated a year ahead of us even though we went into uni at the same time. The board is also run by the government as are the schools so the exams for the LLB are the exams of license and practice.
I have a B.A. in sociology from Penn State and a J.D. (Juris Doctor) from University at Buffalo Law School. The JD makes me eligible to sit for the NYS & PA bar exams. It's one (very large) part of the professional licencing process. I had to take an ethics exam and be checked out for "character & fitness". Licensing is separate from the schooling and is organized by a state board. LLBs aren't sufficient to sit for the bar (it's no longer offered in the US).
(e:metalpeter) looks like a medieval wild warrior. :)
Actually, I thought the bar exam was your final exam for the graduation... I am a bit confused why they are separate. Don't you already have the LLB? In med school, professional exams for graduating = licensure exams.
It was nice to catch up with you yesterday, (e:heidi). Good luck with the bar exams!
Thanks :-) No, I had my real camera with me with a huge lens.
These *are* cool pictures. I especially like (e:metalpeter)'s and (e:Paul)'s pics. Very artsy. And omg, my head is lifesize! ;-)
These are great pictures, are they from your cell phone?
