Ye Olde Blogge

Toast! I know, I know, that’s not the way it goes. I read until my eyes dried out. I wrote a little. I read some blogs. I should have done a little more, but what the hey. I got engrossed in Bitch, Ph.D’s abortion discussion. I couldn’t help myself. The scary thing is, while reading…

Two brownies (small ones) wouldn’t be so bad, right? Must take bath. I hope I’m still coherent at 8:30-ish when I’m finally free to write I hope my work isn’t stupid Why is Geeky Girl running all over the place all of a sudden?

Last night, I was listening to Beijing by Melissa Ferrick The refrain goes: if you can get it grab as much as you can and hide it in your basement for the next disaster It made me think of Phantom and her snack foods for the apocolypse. It’s a great song, Phantom. I think you’d…

I happened to spend all evening reading about audience. I’ll be posting research-related thoughts on the other blog, but all that reading got me to thinking about how I conceive of audience. Plus, I ran into New Kid’s post and this really struck me: when I started blogging, I thought that this blog would be…

I got a lot accomplished today both at work and at home. March has been kind of a hellish month at the Geeky household. At the beginning of the month, I had just returned from my trip to Grad School Town, then the kids got strep, then Mr. Geeky left for a conference, then I…
