As I was perusing Newsweek at lunch this afternoon, I came across a very interesting article. It talked about how the age-old question of our generation is: “Facebook or Myspace?” I read on, chuckling about how for our mothers it was “Paul or John?” (as in The Beatles) or for our dads, “Betty […]

lunchroom debate
July 31st, 2007 · No Comments
The other day at work I was having lunch with a few women that I work with. It started out as a low key I-am-going-to-savor-every-minute-of-this-break kind of lunch. Somehow the conversation turned from sharing our past weekend adventures to abortion. Well actually, it went from weekend adventures to workplace gossip to abortion. […]

My Very Own Getaway
July 30th, 2007 · No Comments
Vacation. The definition according to Webster’s online dictionary… a period spent away from home or business in travel or recreation… a.k.a. exactly what I needed this time 2 week ago.
I have just spent the last 8 days in Tulsa, OK. The oil capital of the world! Haha, who would’ve known? Born and raised on the […]

Hey all,
I’m at Syracuse University for the week doing research for my book, so my posting might be slow or incoherent… Haha… I know the rest of our blogals (get it? Blog +gals= blogals. You know, like, it sounds like bloggers? Haha…) will do a great job!

Hillary Has Heart: Letters from a Young Hillary Clinton
July 29th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Check out this article about a Scripps College professor who was a friend and pen-pal of Hillary Clinton during her high-school and early college years. I think it is amazing to read what this amazing woman was going through during her youth. It is amazing how our human experience is so connected and similar. Hillary […]

Shells and sand

I spent Friday and Saturday near Port Jefferson, New York with my friends Jaime and Elizabeth and Jaime’s sweet friend Jill. It was amazing. I was having a sad end of my week, deep with stress and insecurity… I was trying to withdraw into myself, and absorb myself in work to keep from thinking about […]

A little letter of random magical summer details as follows…
July 28th, 2007 · 4 Comments
Dear world,
So this morning I woke up, kind of half awake, and within the span of about 2 hours was partially asleep and awake. I was starting to think about/freak out about the idea that I didn’t have any plans. I didn’t have any friends coming over, nada nothing. I think I was to afraid […]

July 27th, 2007 · No Comments
Just as I promised…a “Hairspray” review!
I just came back from seeing Hairspray with my sister Annie and OH MY GOD I AM IN LOVE. I have about a dozen or so favorite movies, and this one is definitely it. I usually do fall in love with anything ’60s, as I love the music […]

Myspace Users Beware
July 26th, 2007 · No Comments
This is seriously distressing: Myspace was recently required by several states to find out how many registered sex offenders have Myspace accounts and the number they found was four times their original data. It’s–wait for it–29,000. Initially, Myspace already had a database registered sex offenders whose profiles they had removed, but it only […]
