I teach political science at a cozy college in New Jersey. I hang out with my kids, watch reality TV, and spend excessive amounts of time on the Internet.
I blush easily. Evidence here, here, ....
This is the old about page, which I'm way too sentimental to delete...
I've had a blog for over a year now and never had an about page. I kinda liked that people who got here by googling "kowasaki disease" or "naked Jessica Simpson" would just be a little befuddled. "What is the blog about? Who is this Laura?" I figured that I'm befuddled half the time, others should be as well.
But my brother just pointed out to me that the point of the blog is to be read by others. "oooooh." So, I might as well make it easier and tell you a little bit about myself and the blog.
This is 11D. It used to be called Apt. 11D, but I moved to the suburbs, so I couldn't very well keep calling it Apt. 11D. 11D means nothing. Maybe it's Barbie's bra size.
I have PhD in political science, but am not affiliated with any university right now. Instead I'm changing diapers in New Jersey. Maybe I'll put myself on the market this winter. Maybe I'll hobble together a writing career. Maybe the kids will suck out every creative brain cell, and I'll be left a broken woman in a bowling alley in Paterson. Who the hell knows.
The posts here are political. I often write about things that I am thinking through, so I could very well change my mind in the next post. Expect inconsistencies. The posts here are also personal. I just like writing.
