The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song
There's this new flaming lips song.
And its friggen fantastic. It's been stuck in my head all day. Plus what woman could resist Wayne Coyne in that bomber hat? Mmmmm...
The Quicktime version seemed to download very slowly so I'd recomend going here on yahoo music if you have an account.
Until Later,

not so busy any more (perhaps)
whew!
Well I've finally presented my project (a timeline of women in Iran), so hopefully this should allow some more free time and maybe even a good post by this weekend.
The presentation went well, I was a little concerned all of our hard work didn't show as much as we would have liked but I think it came apparent that we had spent lots of time and effort during questions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a great grade. I think we deserve it.
The whole project really opened my eyes to what life is like for Women in Iran. Not that I'm saying that I 'know' what its like, but it helped me to get a better idea.
The legal age of marriage is 9 (dropped from 13 in 1979 and 18 before that), Women cannot leave their homes or travel without the permission of their husband or father. Gender segregation is becoming more and more common- however it is never in the interest of females. For example, hospitals have become segregated yet there are few qualified women doctors or nurses to run the woman's hospital... And this is due to segregated schools (where the classes that do not have enough women in them are discontinued and the students are told to either drop their education or find a different major) and women not being allowed to continue their education after marriage.
Oh yeah, and then electing a supposedly moderate president in 1997 (although he never did improve life for women as promised)- with a female vice president of environmental conservation- yet she defends stoning women to death and was quoted as saying- "One should take psychological and legal affairs of the society into consideration as well. If the regular rules of family are broken, it would result in many complicated and grave consequences for all of the society."
Gah.
I know all of this information probably just seems random to you, but I've been working on it for a good week now and I guess it just kinda exploded. :)
Anyway, if your interested, I thought this was a great article (better written anyway). It's a quick read and you will become more aware of what's happening around you... And I think we can all use more of that.

we're so pretttaaaay!
What a great thing to have a roomie who can take your mood from "blah" to "fucking fantabulous".
I had just gotten back from 3 hours in the library, working on my timeline of "Women In Iran" when Ruth mentioned my black polka dot dress in my closet.
As it turns out, we both have black polka dot dresses, then we had a dress party. Kinda. We took a picture anyway.
Have you ever seen such a sexy pair of bitchez? I think not!
Anyway, thanks Ruth! You made my day.

busy busy
As you can see, I had a great time in London and Bath. Bath especially, and being the nerd I am, would constantly recognize places filmed in the movie Persuasion. It was great. Next trip to Europe though is going to be somewhere a bit cheeper. Jeez, was it expensive. It seems like the more I travel the more I want to see. Italy, Germany and perhaps Japan are still on my lists to go see.
I really have been busy lately so it's still going to be a while before I'm able to sit down and write a quality post. I've got a paper to write by Monday, projects and other assignments to do and on top of that I'm taking a weekend trip to North Carolina with my best friend, Nicole. I'm really excited about that. We haven't been able to hang out much at all since college so it will be awesome to go on a road trip together. Plus, I get to see the town where she grew up!
It's been wonderful to get back to Alfred. The work is really starting to build and will only get more intense as finals come but I really have been glad to be here lately.
Until Later,
Sondra
p.s I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie "Thank You For Smoking". I enjoyed the book by Jeff Buckley anyway, and It should be amusing at least. It's about Nick Naylor,
Nick Naylor: Cigarettes in space?
Jeff Megall: It's the final frontier, Nick.
Nick Naylor: But wouldn't they, you know, blow up in an all oxygen environment?
Jeff Megall: Probably... but you know, it's an easy fix. One line of dialogue... "Thank god we created the, ya know, whatever device."
