Yo!

So my dear friend Charmalade tells me I don't post enough. That's because my life is boring and there's already so much great content out there. Scratch that, my life isn't boring; it's germinating. It is fertile soil with seeds planted, but not enough sunshine yet for anything to sprout. How's that for a fun metaphor?

What I do have is a youtube playlist I made. I named her rock folk rock.

I was inspired by all the recommendations from a somewhat recent LeProust Vintage post entitled Jack White Would be Proud. Isn't that the coolest post?! LeProust has great followers, and so many of them contributed with suggestions. Love it! I just sifted through them and collected tracks from the ones I hadn't really heard of (with a few exceptions - the Stupid Bowl was going on at the same time so I also threw in the NFL theme song).

That's pretty much all I've got!

Haircut and other things

So the Spring 2010 semester started three weeks ago at KU. It's going to be a good one. I am taking two classes that are going to help me make major progress on my thesis. In honor of forward movement, I also got a haircut. With bangs! I haven't had bangs since... oh... seven years or so. But my hairstylist is brilliant. She knows how to make it do.

I'm definitely not a skilled self photographer. But I think the cut makes up for my ghetto picture-taking ability.


And meet my cat, Peaches. She was posing in front of the red craft cabinet, so I had to take her pic. She does not like cameras. Well, maybe she just doesn't like the flash. Frankly, I can empathize.


My Jayhawks are playing in about half an hour and frankly I should be doing homework. Rock Chalk Jayhawk! GO KU!

All kinds of awesome

Martial arts and hip hop, together as one.



I fully want to see this.

Requiem for Firefly

My heart aches knowing that in seven years, Fox still hasn't come to its senses and begged Joss Whedon to re-start Firefly. One movie wasn't enough. That show was brilliant.

I am not much for TV. I think it's mostly rubbish. I frequently campaign my husband that we discontinue our service. I would probably win that argument if there was some other reliable way my hubby could catch all the good international football matches.

Perhaps that's why, after renting the DVD's of Firefly, I really cannot conceive of how this wonderful show got canceled after one little season. HOW was that possible? I realize that FOX is just a crap-spewing media company. I realize they strive for mediocrity, and that their "news" is sensationalized hooey appealing chiefly to poor ol' put-upon rich white people. But if The Simpsons could survive this long, why not Firefly?


I know, I'm late to the party. Seven years late. I just have to say it once more, for the multiverse to hear: Firefly is one of the greatest television shows of all time. It is a travesty that there are only 14 episodes and one awesome movie.
