blogging Memphis work

Won’t you be my beta tester?

Dearest Neighbors: Kerry Crawford and I are trying our hand at a little ol’ fashioned blog aggregation for The CA over at The Memphis Blog. The blog is still under construction (the design and functionality is going to change within the next few weeks; right now it’s hard to distinguish between my and Kerry’s posts, there’s a jump link even when it’s not needed, the RSS feed is janky, and eventually we’re going to have…

Hola, y’all

So I survived the week. So far. I’m at Kristin’s, mooching the wireless and watching the Food Network. And trying to catch up on some internetty things I might have missed this week. Uploading pictures, etc. I see that the English-only bullshit in Nashville looks doomed. GOOD. Sheesh. I’ve got so much to say about the things I have seen this week. So much. But it will take some time for me to get my…

Ch-ch-changes

One of my fabulous birthday gifts this year was a mouse (a wireless Mighty Mouse to be precise), which means I can finally get back on a proper design horse rather than the rickety little pole-with-a-mop-on-top I’d been using as a horse since I got this laptop. I don’t know about y’all, but I can’t design for shit using a trackpad. I mean, it’ll do in a pinch, but I’m kind of a mouse girl.…

In which I improve your quality of life

Internet, if you are not periodically checking up on Sexy People, then I don’t know what to do with you. The amazing diversity of the human form and professional photo studio backdrop is absolutely astonishing.

Welcome. I think.

Well, here we are. I say “I think” up there because I’m not entirely confident that I’ve got the kinks worked out to the extent that I should be letting people look at what I’ve done here. I mean, I know for a fact that there’s some wonky shit happening downpage — scroll and take a look — and I am having no luck figuring out why some posts are bleeding into others and why…

I just made an honest woman out of myself

Well, I did it. Today I happened to notice that theogeo.com was free (it was occupied the last time I checked … a couple of years ago), so I snatched it right up. I’ve been squatting here at Blogger for five years now. Five years! Does anyone remember when I used to have theology-and-geometry.com? Yeah, this will be a hell of a lot less letters to type. My informal plan is to move all my…

blogging my special stupidity randomosity

Hello.

Maybe I am dead. Because this is the first substantial stretch of time during the five years this blog has existed that there’s been nothing going on that I absolutely had to write about, even though there’s been plenty going on. It proves, at least for me, that blogging is strongly habitual and that if you truly devote yourself to the laziness within, it can overcome anything. All kidding aside, I’ve been a lazy piece…

Dead air

I’m not dead. Just distracted. I think I may have temporarily lost my blogging mojo. It’ll probably come back. I just needed a little break. In the meantime, I must insist that you watch this:

Beale Street Music Festival blogging weather work

Borrowed raincoat, borrowed galoshes, and borrowed time

The teevee tells me that the weather’s gone all orange and pink and red. It’s disgusting, mixing those colors like that. About an hour ago I was driving north on Avalon, taking a right onto Madison, when I saw the biggest fucking lightning streak I have ever seen. It was so big because it was seemingly right in fucking front of me, and its union with whatever it struck created the loudest and sickest boom-snap-crackle-fizz…

Reason No. 258 why it’s great to work with a real artist

Because concepts you pitch that start out looking like this end up looking like this after he’s worked his magic. To say I have talent envy doesn’t even begin to cover it. Link love: Check out the newly redesigned Shelf Life blog, the book blog from the CA. Bonus link love: Shane’s blogging again!
