Things I should be doing instead of agonizing over falling behind for NaBloPoMo…

November 8, 2009 random

I know myself only too well. I already missed the 8th post for this NaBloPoMo thing I decided to participate in. Deadline yesterday.

When will this thing end?! NaBloPoMo #6: In which I talk about google doodle

November 6, 2009 random

This is me cheating again. It’s only the 6th day of NaBloPoMo, and I am already resorting to PHOTOs. Not even photos I took, but photos that I found on the Interweb! Yeah, like y’all don’t have google at home?… Since I have never cheated in my entire academic career, well, not technically anyway, I [...]

Day 5 of NaBloPoMo: When in doubt, talk about phobias…

November 5, 2009 therapy in session

I suck. It is only the fifth day of National Blog Posting Month and I am already wanting to quit. Life and work seem to have a way of getting into the way of daily blogging… I am totally kidding up there. Blogging should be a supplement to life: a conduit to reflect on life [...]

November 3, 2009 random

On the second day of November I learned that November is actually the National Blog Posting Month.

How much is the Pulitzer Prize worth?

November 2, 2009 Making sure you know I read the Economist so you know I'm not dumb, just obnoxious

I was surprised to learn that the Pulitzer Prize is only worth $10,000. I guess you really need to be in this field for the love of the game.

“How you should behave when you grow up”: a primer for your kids

November 1, 2009 no manual for parenting

My 6 year-old, at the end of sugar high, launched into a campaign for something that he thinks my husband and I should offer to him and his older brother. “A program. A program for ‘How you should be like when you grow up‘,” he said. “Mom. I think you and daddy should give us [...]
