I have had a flicker of a hankering to write lately, and I keep coming back to this space (which I have kept locked up off an on for the past few months) and wondering what we are going to do with this blog, which is nearly 20 years old. TWENTY YEARS OLD. I’m sitting in a Mt. Juliet coffee shop right now writing a post for a blog that is older than the person…
I have been blogging for 10 years this month. I can’t figure out the exact day I really started because I began “blogging” using Geocities-hosted web pages that I slapped up on my old (dead) domain, theology-and-geometry.com. The Wayback Machine used to keep a bunch of my content from that site archived, but I’ve noticed over the years the amount that it indexes continues to dwindle, and now you can’t even really get past the…
My mind is this great humming butter churn of a thing, moving unformed chunks of ideas around slowly and with great struggle. I have nothing to write about. It is driving me fucking bonkers. I have been sitting here staring at this screen, trying to make it happen, trying to remember something, anything, worth sharing and I have nothing. Everything is extremely mundane. I can’t just write about my kid all the time, cool as…
… although this year’s lineup is pretty sweet, so I really recommend that you make it down there if you can. My colleagues and I will be posting updates to our live-coverage Tumblr tonight, tomorrow and Sunday — gomemphis.tumblr.com. Follow us there or on Twitter: @gomemphis. You can also watch the action at our Memphis in May info site, where lots of tips and tricks are posted for your perusal. We’ll be the first to…
I am behind on replying to comments and, I’ll be honest, some of that is intentional because I am reluctant to revisit some of the more painful things I’ve written here lately, but I want to say this to all of you who have reached out to me: Thank you. Thank you so very much. The positive energy you send in my direction makes a marked difference in my life and I will never be…
Okay. I am kind of squeamish about doing this, but the way I see it, the best-of-Memphis competitions have for too long been dominated by the same blogger, and it’s time to knock the tube-top obsessed off the leaderboard. Fire sale information and salacious and sometimes clandestinely taken pictures of tanned and tipsy women are great and all, I guess**, but there are other blogs out there that deserve some love too. And no, I’m…
It occurs to me that some day she might decide to come read T&G. She knows it exists and has for years, and I think she may have seen it a time or two. But I don’t think she reads it regularly. She has said before that she would just as soon let me have my little private internet corner. Now that we have gifted her with a portable computer, I feel like it may…
I should really stop redesigning my blog at 4 in the morning, but I can’t help it! I was checking up on all the Memphis blogs today — clicking through, not using my reader — when I noticed the lovely Ms. Lemonslush‘s snazzy theme and got serious theme envy. It is rare that I find a WordPress theme that I really, really like. And yet Bueno seems to be a solid, well-built, FREE theme with…
I have started posting over at The Memphis Blog again. The first thing I did when I decided to take a hiatus two months ago (prompted, mostly, by the fact that I have very little time to do blog cultivation during work hours now since the newsroom reorgnization, and I was spending a TON of hours at home doing for free what I should probably be getting paid to do) was unsubscribe from every Memphis…
Well I’m blogging my ass off over at The Memphis Blog. Come say hi. Don’t make me keep pimping myself out like this. It’s unbecoming and I AM A LADY.
