(no subject)

I have a terrific GP, but visits to the medical centre always involve a long wait. I don't mind lurking in waiting rooms as long as I can read, but this one's got a TV to keep the inmates docile, and it's not unusual to be subjected to horrors such as Judge Judy. This afternoon's selection was no so bad - a quiet soap, a quiet sitcom, ET (which interviewed one of its own interviewers, and took a behind-the-scenes look at one of its own ads) - so I was mostly able to focus on Queer Theory, Gender Theory. Which is good, because it's eating my miiind. I've stuck about a hundred green sticky bookmark things in it. What's more, over in ikhet_sekhmet, I've stumbled into an examination of gender in the Ancient Near East, not before time given the quantity of books and photocopies on the subject lying about here going "read us, read usss". I feel a side journal coming on.
