steph strikes again
Stephanie Rosenbloom, that is. Honestly, I either want to (a) be this woman or (b) be her best friend and talk about all the things that make us laugh, and observe, and comment about pop culture.
Evidence: this article in tomorrow's Sunday Styles.
P.S. Why couldn't my lingustics class be more like that?! -
she doesn't want it
This morning, in a flurry of energy, I jogged over the welcoming ellipticals at the college's gym, and hopped onto the machine, ready to kick-start my day. I clicked on MTV. I started to run. And then I nearly puked ( Read more... ) -

Gail Collins.
Honestly, what an inspiration. Articles like today's column are why I have--and still continue to--plow through the menial journalism assignments, attend the mundane town meetings that need to be covered, and vow to stay connected to the journalism world, despite an ever-growing to-do list of college papers, readings and assignments ( Read more... ) -

let's go make him happy.
Major props to the line(s): "Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy didn’t change the world by asking people to join their Facebook crusades or to download their platforms.

Blech.

My profs rock, and, to make an awesome class even more awesome, we are reading two chapters of The Feminine Mystique aka FAVORITE BOOK EVER (well, one of them, anyway) for Wednesday. And, in addition, and also the point of this post, is that the professors wanted us to listen to the song I YouTubed below. So ( Read more... ) -

I was doing a bit of Googling for an essay I'm working on about separate spheres, and in a July New York Times article about how among young adults in New York, Minneapolis (whoo-hoo for Minnesota!), Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston who work full time, women for the first time now make more than men, I found this little gem from Andrew Hacker, the ( Read more... ) -
jena six rally today
This is why I simulataneously hate America and love America. (Have I mentioned that I can't believe the so-blatant-it's-unbelievable racism in this case? It's extremely unsettling.) -
a religious experience?
Ah, college. The time to study hard and fuck harder. (Okay, that's slightly graphic. Make that very graphic. Apologies all around.) The hookups run rampant! The condoms flow freely! The experimentation is wild! And the parents are oh-so-significantly absent ( Read more... )
