Running a quick review of my to-do list from last year, appears I’m still slacking off in the same area.
Tsk tsk, Alice. Gotta do better by next October!

Alice’s To-Do List:
Leave my husband(Though technically, I suppose we left each other.)
Kill my children(Murdering my darlings counts, yes?)
Practice witchcraft(In my experience, Wiccan spellcrafter and amateur mixologist have much in common, including reliance on pomegranate pips and an excess of fresh-squeezed lemon juice.)
Χ Destroy capitalism
Become a lesbian(More than once, happy to report!)
VERDICT: 4 out of 5
(Not too shabby!)

[10/30/14: HOUSEKEEPING NEWS: The blog’s About page got a much-overdue makeover. “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blogger” can now be found here, for them what’s interested.
All my thanks–or possibly my apologies–to Wallace Stevens for the inspiration.]

How funny that Pat Robertson is your homie.
I only managed 1/5. I guess I’m a bad feminist.

Well, that may be. You may just have to live with the label of being a “bad feminist.”
Of course, that would still put you in some outstanding company. I mean, waaaaaay better company than Mr. Robertson keeps…

While I’ve failed Pat Robertson’s other expectations here, I have some fabulously witch-y shoes so that counts. And with each student I can trip into questioning American values – that is, Americans’ insistence on dollar value as the bottom line – (I hope) I’m chipping away at capitalism!
Hmm. Maybe I can find a t-shirt with “Lesbian” emblazoned across the chest?
Because I hate to let a fella down.

I get that — especially so nice a fella as Pat. And it’s clear from your profile picture that you are a woman committed to her tshirt activism! 😉
Might I suggest a Lavender Menace Seal of Approval?

Haha! I feel almost dirty that I’m not failing at Pat’s list, aside from the capitalism thing. Better get a ouija board out 😉

Lesbian, to begin with, so no husband to leave or children to kill! Ahead of the game! 🙂 I do respect nature, and believe herbs can be combined to heal and promote health, so, I’m on the way to witchcraft! All right, now, let’s brain-storm about that nasty ol’ Capitalism, shall we?

Ok, things that come to my mind: barter system, public park system, gold standard, self sustained farms.
Can you do anything with that?
