We mainly sell electronic products, such as digital cameras, cellphones, LCD TV, xbox, Laptops, DV, Mp3&Media Players, GPS, […]

After a lot of searching and two weeks of homelessness aka couch surfing, I am going to be signing a lease for a new apartment tonight. The new apartment is small, cute, and ::mine alone::. It is excellent for escaping from in case of fire, but it’s a terrible location for barricading oneself in to […]

Scene: Jen’s living room. Jen, Molly, and Wojtek are watching the Olympics. Announcer: This must be a little bit like waiting for Godot for them. J, M, and W look at each other and question whether the announcer knows what he’s talking about. Molly: “Let’s go.” “We can’t.” “Why not?” “We’re waiting for our event […]

The problem with moving is that every time I do it, there are more things to pack than the time before. I cry foul. (To be fair, my mother claims that I don’t actually need to have every bank statement, starting in high school, neatly filed. I like having it. Possessions I can take or […]

I spent the summer I was 17 in central Massachusetts, just outside Worcester. I’d taken US history the previous year, and had gotten to the state level with my History Day project on Hamilton and Jefferson. So to say I was a little bit fixated with the Founding Fathers would be… a bit of an […]

For your further education, I’d like to shine a little bit of light on two very different people who are infrequently confused, except by me. Jon Sims was a luminary of the San Francisco gay music scene in the 1970s, founding the San Francisco Lesbian and Gay Freedom Band and the San Francisco Gay Men’s […]

I was writing an awesome post recommending music I like, but it turns out that WordPress.com doesn’t like links to the iTunes music store at all. Just like they don’t like javascript, or web forms, or really anything that could make me a quick buck on the internet. For this reason I’m in the process […]

Today’s useful lesson: dental dams were originally invented for dentistry! Some context: Dentist: Molly, do you know what a dental dam is? Molly: Yes. Dentist: Have you ever used one? Molly: Er, yes? Dentist: Well, we’re going to be using something slightly different. It’s a lot better because it provides more suction, and it’s got […]

With all the preparations for Pride this year, it’s already a breathless season. Increasing the fervor of the season, of course, was the beginning of gay marriage in California yesterday at 5 pm. I watched coverage from some of the first gay weddings last night, live on the local news. It’s exciting to live in […]
