Two weeks ago, I drove up to Wayne, NJ with Donna to be a subject in a photo shoot for my spring semester photography professor. He's working on a thesis, a collection of photographs exploring the idea of arraignment. From Wikipedia: "Arraignment is a formal reading of a criminal complaint in the presence of the… Continue reading arraignment

amanda palmer is a freaking rock star.
Seriously. Her show was amazing, full of energy. Her opening act / back up band, Nervous Cabaret, were out of control. Sexy, sexy music. We were at the TLA, in the balcony, and twice she came to stand in the exact spot where we were sitting. She spoke to us briefly, and we just sort… Continue reading amanda palmer is a freaking rock star.

thankfulness update
So I've been keeping up with the thankfulness updates each day, which has been a good reminder for me to keep my frustration in perspective. Day 3: Today I am thankful for Kendall, who enjoys a good political shouting match - it's his birthday! Day 4: Today I am thankful for my awesome friends, who… Continue reading thankfulness update
thankfulness, day 2
I am thankful today for my amazing, talented and intelligent girlfriend, who makes me laugh by saying things like "Hannah von Bismarck" (when she really means Bridget von Hammersmark).
Robert Lee Brewer of Poetic Asides posted a non-poetic challenge on Facebook today: update your status each day between now and Thanksgiving to reflect something you are grateful for. I'm taking him up on it, as I think it's a wonderful thing to do. Today I am thankful for my son, Jacob, who can make… Continue reading

They're covering the root lines immediately around the trunk, and they've spread into the opposite side of the yard,… Continue reading mushroom invasion
it should not have taken me this long.
I just read Amanda Palmer's blog from 10/29, which is an Open Letter to Robert Smith (of the Cure, for those of you unfamiliar). Yes. In every way, yes. I haven't been a fangirl since - well, to be honest, probably in about 10 years. Of course I still went to concerts and got excited… Continue reading it should not have taken me this long.
holy what-the-f
Kudos to WordPress, for their excellent selection of "Possibly Related Posts." Last week, I wrote this blog entry, in which I discussed a posting in my Civil Rights class that bothered me for what I see as it's inherent racism. WordPress kindly created a single "Possibly Related Post" - and it links to this blog,… Continue reading holy what-the-f
progress!
So I decided that I would take a day this weekend and dedicate it to writing projects. First I caught up on my critiques over at the ChopShop, the virtual workshop that Donna initiated for our artist friends who can't always manage to get together face-to-face. There was definitely some good stuff happening over there.… Continue reading progress!
