I made my Christmas cards yesterday. I love making cards, and will probably write and mail them today. Due to financial restraints, I'm not able to send cards to everyone on the f-list, and I apologize in advance.

While making the cards, I was thinking that I might actually make summer holiday cards too. It's a great way to let people know you're thinking of them, and people would probably love receiving extra mail.

I got to have lunch with my friend Mike yesterday. He is an anthropologist/ archeologist who just returned from an eight month archeological dig in Ecuador. He is doing his PH.D on the remains of particular colonial hospital in Ecuador and we swapped some crazy travel stories, and observations.

Today= studying, writing, yoga, and possibly a date with B*.

Fucking mad...

The more I think about it, the more I am angry about the Kimberly Nixon case. Kim Nixon is a trans-woman who was barred from acting as a volunteer counsellor at the Vancouver Rape Relief shelter, because she was born a man. The Vancouver Rape Relief shelter has decided that since she was born a man, she cannot work as a counsellor for women.
In my mind, this is FUCKING DISCRIMINATION, and it's made all the more worse because it's from a supposedly feminist, women friendly organixation.

She appealed to the BC Human Rights Tribunal, and the BC Supreme Court and her appeal was denied. She will now head to Supreme Court of Canada.

I want to write some angry letters. Does anyone know where I can write to?

I've also fired off an email to my editor at Herizons asking if I can write an article for them.

ETA- I accidentally voted incorrectly in my own poll. I actually prefer Cary Grant.
