One of the many fabulous performances at this summer's Gals Salon.

Still more to come from this summer - including marshmallow eating contests, spelling bees and other crazy hijinks.

Marilyn in Toronto - Starring Joey Stevenson

Watch the video
Well, I'm back from my month in the woods. Joey came to Toronto again and we walked about 10Km in one day then went and got tattoos... I'm not sure how to even begin to share my clips and stories from the summer. It might all come out in a jumbled pile... and school starts next week. Bear with me. lukas

Where I Come From

Where I Come From

My uncle recently held the now-annual reunion of the Lee family, my mom's side of the clan, at his lavish property near Sacramento, CA. My mom is the one girl of seven kids, and of my 15+ cousins, only six of us are women. Nonetheless, spending a weekend among relatives makes me realize: no matter how far away or how different my lifestyle may be from my extended family, they're who I am, and I've got a whole lot of Lee blood running through my veins. From Nanoramas.

I'll be following the progress of a group of women (most are military wives, some with husbands in Iraq) as they prepare the last several weeks before the 41 mile ocean crossing race, Na Wahine O Ke Kai. Please join us at Beach Walks with Rox - sometimes serious, sometimes frivolous, always Aloha!

stretching before and after

Watch the video
My PhD supervisor, Caroline Bassett, wrote this in a paper published in Filozofski vestnik in 2002. She argues that "narrative provides a means by which to explore information technology and subjectivity" and calls for a "consideration of the subject as a narratable self, as someone who stretches before and after the moments of her technological interpellation, but who is also changed by it, is useful in conceptualising this subject." I also found it a really beautiful piece of writing, which I have (hopefully not to her disapproval) cut and pasted into my own narrative.
