listen to this

well my last name starts with a Z...therefore i have the pleasure of A. turning my paper in first, and B. giving the very first individual presentation. needless to say, it is monday afternoon and i am sitting here trying desparately to start my term paper. but we all know that procrastination is an english major's best friend and we have all pulled papers out of our asses the day before they are due, so i am not too worried about my current situation. i have already decided on my topic and have spent the last hour roaming the internet for research and inspriration. i have previously posted information on an organization called the Lysistrata Project. since we have studied this play, it is very pretinent to the class and also the world. if you travel to their website, you will be enundated with all sorts of information regarding the war in iraq and women's rights to peace and safety. as i was searching for more modern day Lysistratas, i found a really interesting article on NPR's website and i should hope that you all take the time to check it out. on March 4, 2003, the Lysistrata project helped organize a world-wide reading of the play to advocate peace, women's rights, and an anti-war compaign. Readings of Lysistrata were heard all over the country and ranged greatly in their style and audience. They even performed a short, child-friendly version in New York. You can actually listen to the airing of this story and it only takes about 5 mintutes. here is the website:
