The History Boys: the review

Posted on December 13, 2006 Written by Diane

Gosh, teacher-student pederasty is so cute, isn’t it? It doesn’t harm anyone and it’s even kind of fun!

(Bennett actually has the gall to give the student the line: “Where’s the harm in it?” Um… I guess ethics are a little fungible across the pond.)

Pop quiz, hot shot

Posted on December 10, 2006 Written by Diane

Remember when I used to have news quizzes? Okay, me neither. But Emptywheel has thoughtfully put together a list of the bare minimum of questions that our lawmakers should be able to answer.

And no, there are no answers provided.

My writing journal

Posted on December 7, 2006 Written by Diane

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time over on LiveJournal recently — not only have I been doing Deathless Pose (errr….or I will be doing it again, as soon as I get my proverbial excrement together), but there are a number of fansites over there for all sorts of things, like Veronica Mars (after much urging from Tamar, Darin and I finally sat down and watched our Season 1 DVDs… which quickly led to us buying and watching the Season 2 DVDs… which led to us watching all of Season 3 to get caught up… it’s a good show, check it out) and Heroes and Battlestar Galactica. Yes. I know. I need a life.

Anyhow, since you can do things like have extra-special bffs over on LJ, I’ve posted my recent writings (short stories and plays) behind LJ locks. If you’re interested in finding out whether I can, in fact, write worth a damn, let me know and I will add you to the friends category so you can peek behind the curtain.
