Oops...leave it to a blog to make you feel that time is passing by even quicker than you thought. Now that I've moved to Providence, RI, it seems like a good idea to try keeping a real blog, meaning an up-to-date blog. So here it goes!
I read a slew of articles today having to do with relationships and such, given that Valentine's Day is tomorrow. One covered various society's approaches to flirting, and the differences were staggering if not hilarious. When I came upon this passage, I couldn't help but grin widely, the shit-eating type:
***A recent sociological study in the Czech Republic carried out for the labour ministry found that most people perceived sexual harassment as being "a concept artificially imported from abroad."
"Conversations with hidden erotic meaning, provocative allusions and even rude stories are all part of what makes the world go round," the study concluded.***
Artifical importation from abroad of that which causes the world to not go around. Amen.
