One of my advisers, Georgia Warnke, has a new book coming out this December from Cambridge University Press. It's not just a "philosophy" book or a "theory" book, it's also a really good read, well written, easy to understand and very interesting. I have read it twice in manuscript form and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in issues of race, sex, and gender. Georgia worked her savvy so that it will be available in paper back immediately, making it affordable for everyone. The book also comes with a helpful index, which was done by yours truly (toot, toot... that's the sound of me tooting my own horn). The book's original title was After Sex, but apparently that was too much for Cambridge, la-ti-da. Anyways the title is a reference to Alasdair McIntyre's classic work After Virtue.

eye candy
I bought the dahlias at the farmer's market today. They are supposed to inspire me to write my dissertation. The Chimichangas are Matthew's creation. We had them for dinner last night and they tasted as good as they look.
Fiesta
As I mentioned earlier, the first week we moved here it was Fiesta, a celebration of the reconquest of Santa Fe by the Spanish in 1692 after those pesky native folks had taken it back in 1680, apparently they thought it belonged to them, silly Native Americans. Anyways they have big parties and parades and lots of mariachi bands and tons of food and a good time is had by all.
We took Scarlett to the pet parade, but she wasn't a big fan because of all of the marching bands - too much drumming for her taste.
That night we headed down to the plaza to check out all of the action, which was really just an oldies cover band and bunch of food, but it was fun.
This is where I acquired my fire, I mean green chile, laden sopaipilla, it was delicious but i did not sleep very well that night as the fire tormented endlessly:
Here is the Horchata (Mexican rice milk drink) that made it possible for me to eat the above mentioned stuffed sopaipilla:
We also went to Zozobra and hung out on the plaza during the day. It was a very busy week for us, especially since it was my first one here!

One of those days
My dog chewed up my favorite pair of shoes.
The financial aid department is finding new ways to screw me over.
We owe money to everyone, and they all want it NOW!
And did I mention that my dog chewed my favorite, absolutely perfect, go-with-everything, comfortable stylish amazing shoes?
I'm telling you, it's just been one of those days.
