what is really frightening...

another halloween come and gone. not that that means anything, but i suppose it is just a nice thing to say. happy birthday mr. joseph patrick reynolds, you are always held so dear.

my halloween consisted of severel things that one might consider scary:

-i started a new class today, globalization with conrad herold. if anyone can make globalization any scarier than it already is, its conrad. with a sense of humor, of course. he provides the tales from the crypt version of globalization.

- i decided that i definitely want to/am going to move to brooklyn in january.

-went to a haunted house with some friends. the really spooky part was the 13 bucks they charged to get in! also, getting chased after by a guy with a chainsaw is never as fun as you hope.

-but the scariest thing for me this halloween is this article: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/10/31/MNG2LFGJFT1.DTL#story

to quote my mother:

Who can tell when the moment that a woman decides to become sexually active will occur? Shouldn't protection be defined as prohibiting unwanted pregnancy (we're ok with prophylactics) and unwanted disease (HIV, STDs) and unwanted suffering (cancer???)

Oi, Caitie, who in this world still thinks that women should suffer for their weaknesses, but men should rally on??? Only the right wing conservative...

and on that note, lights out.
