| Bio: | As of 8 August 2007 I am still using this as my primary journal. However, due to asshattery (my own or 6Apart's, you pick) I've gotten myself a backup journal - you can find me under the same name at Insanejournal. All right, then.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The dreaming collective knows no history
- W. Benjamin, The Arcades Project
Such strange lives are led in America, she always knew that; but this was queerer than anything she had dreamed of.
- H. James, The Bostonians
I'm not in America most of the time, but then, neither was James.
This is where I blog. I don´t have two separate blogs, one for real life and the other for [insert name of shared interest here]. So this blog contains entries on movies, academia, academic politics, real politics, Mexican history and historiography, my mostly unfabulous life, odd music, fan fiction and other kinds of storytelling, sex and pornography, cooking, gardening, immigrating to Canada, martial arts, and some other stuff. I try to put lengthy posts behind cut tags, but sometimes I forget. Some more personal content is locked (as is the entire journal before January 2008) so friend me and drop me a note if you're interested. And I tightly lock the most gossipy of my academia-related posts when I remember, so if you want to see them, ask me to put you into that filter (they're not all that interesting so don't get your hopes up.)
I can be reached at lolaraincoats@hotmail.com or Lola.Raincoat@gmail.com but am a very poor email correspondent, usually.
Oh, and about names, because sometimes people ask: Spectacles H. Decolonizing was a subject line from some spam that ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ellid got, advertising Penis Launchers. As to Lola Raincoat ... idlerat began referring to me as Lola in 2003 when I was lurking around in her lj. When I got my own lj shortly thereafter, I chose the name in honor of the Raincoats' cover version of the Kinks' song "Lola." The Raincoats were a brilliantly amateurish all-woman group in the first punk moment (London, 1976-77) and their version of the song didn't change any nouns or pronouns: the song as they played it sounded like a number of women's voices warbling I'm not the world's most masculine man but I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man. Women making subtext into text = fanfic, and fanfic is what brought me to livejournal. So that's my name. |
