Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, union organizer and early feminist. Funny story with this one: I bought it at the same time as all the above, at the Mandala closing sale, thinking it would be excellent to supplement my art cards with some historical educational material. Three weeks later, I was cleaning my room and found an old postcard book in a dresser drawer that my grandmother gave to me when I was probably 12 or so: Women Who Dared. Oops. Thanks, Grandma!

Agenda

Now that I'm on a blogroll, I should probably make some sort of indication that I'm still alive before I make my next real post. Not only alive, but accomplishing things left and right! Or at least up and down the east coast.

So things to post about:
1) Taking the LSAT and Why I Consider this Goal Fulfilled
2) Postcards out the wazoo. Like seriously, tomorrow I hope to scan the 20ish postcards I've been sitting on for a while. UPDATE 7/30: All on photobucket... just sorta waiting for time to narrate a proper post.
3) Special exhibits descriptions - just came back from a NY trip, and went to the Met and MOMA and saw probably eight different specials? But only two or three significant ones, so those are the only ones I'll be counting.
4) Cathedrals! Visited two more on my trip, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Morningside and Grace Church in Union Square. Gorgeous, plenty of pictures to crop and upload... eventually.
5) Swingsets! Swung on two more swingsets as well in New York... I have one really bad picture of the one in Central Park to post, and Chelsea should sometime soon be getting her film developed of the second, which was in Riverside Park on the UWS.
6) Books. Like whoa.
7) General update on the state of my craftiness
8) Goal revisions, due upon the one-year mark (August 28th)

Having an agenda is great. It's structure; I thrive on structure. Now it's OUT THERE. Now I have to get those postcards scanned tomorrow, and I have to actually lay out which goals are being changed out for which other things.

And finally, Angels in America tickets go on sale in twelve days. Time to start planning another trip north...
