After coming back from downtown Palo Alto after dinner and buying a cheap, colourful book for the USP community (heh) I went to sleep. The other 6 were supposed to come down for a pow-wow but it didn't materialise. Hopefully the flight we want is still not too expensive.

Another corollary is that I was up at 5:30 and went to bathe; I love Spring except that if I step out of the room now without drying my hair I'm probably going to need to go to the hospital after a few hours, hurr hurr.

Stanford has a 'feminist studies' department. I heartily approve of the honesty of admitting the use of the paradigm rather than pretending to look positivistically at 'gender' (or slightly less disingenuously, 'women').
