Blog is a funny word

I attended the BlogHer conference last week (BlogHer’s 6th year of existence). I’ve been wanting to go to the conference since I interviewed Elisa Camahort Page (co-founder, CEO) three years ago for a journalism assignment.
When I found out about blogher.com, I thought it was amazing, as I was convinced the Internet was the next [...]

“Let’s consider the iPhone commercials”

A post from the Likely Lad.
Let’s consider the iPhone4 commercials (at least that I’ve seen…)
1) Nervous girl gets short haircut. Presents to boy. Boy fancies it. She is relieved, made happy by his approval.
2) Nervous woman has news for husband(?) He deduces she is now pregnant, expresses happiness. She is relieved, made happy by [...]

The phony

Maybe you know, maybe you don’t: I lost my phone Thursday night. It slipped into the cracks of a cab–Not just any cab, a minivan cab (somehow this detail is significant), and was literally never heard from again.
While my luck is renowned for ripening to rotten, I realized that this was the first time [...]

Self-Made Man

My friend Matt (McKinney) recently gave me a book to read called “Self-Made Man” by Norah Vincent. He had read it in a gender studies class, and he suggested to me based on my fascination with masculinity under the feminist movement.
The premise: Norah becomes Ned. What I mean is, for over a year, Norah [...]

“It’s Been A While” -dude from Staind

I guess I am sorry for not posting more often. It’s only symbolic of a short, thorough frustration with not having air conditioning, and thus numbing myself each night so I can actually sleep.
Did an Examiner post today: “KittehRoulette - The more ENJOYABLE ‘roulette’.” Gonna try to actually do those more often (not always involving [...]

Blah blah New York

Before I moved to New York, I had a number of what I’ll call “suggestions” for activities to help jump-start the summer. A few suggested I start a blog on New York. In the taste of some, the blog would have been private so that I could reveal in fine, liberal detail. Others really just [...]

A woman’s rumination. HAH!

I’m reading a book called Feminist Communication Theory for a paper I’m writing.
Sometimes I feel like feminism’s biggest problem is that it’s called feminism. I mean, I think a name-change would do the movement good– You know, call it something catchy and easily popular. Unfortunately “snuggie” is already trademarked. Seriously, if the Snuggie were called [...]

No post is a good post


Late night sketches

Friends and I close ours eyes, sketch at the bar.

Home, you know

Corpus Christi is the land of sequential epiphanies. You take one look at the ocean and then you remember what’s real. I stayed up the entirety of last night–We listened and discussed hip hop; I revisited skateboarding. At 8 AM we got a huge $1.50 breakfast taco and sat silently on the beach. The sun [...]
