(Re)Start Blogging (Again)
I'm trying to wake up, I both literally and figuratively. I smell the coffee (literally), and what a happy and comforting smell it is to me. I had (tried) to give up coffee but now the jury is conflicted (so coffee makes you pee more often, I'm already having to go every few minutes), so coffee is back in!!! There's something about a morning cup that helps shake the cobwebs loose and gets me focused and ready for the day.


I'm printing off drafts of every seminar paper I've written since enrolling at the U. Man, I'm into the second ream of paper. Who knew I'd actually written so much? I didn't! I've finished coursework and am trying to assemble 3 papers for my exams. Roughly they are 1- feminist theory 2- feminist methods 3- topic of my choice. Seems easy, right? Wrong. All the papers I'm considering blend a bit of each. My advisors (who are great and very supportive) have suggested I just write and then we'll make sense of it all and get me through these exams. I still have no idea of dissertation topic but the point right now is to just get through this exam process. My girl (I'm so sad you moved away OCB buddy) is finishing her diss as we speak and will defend in August. GO GIRL!
I've been on a very bumpy and unstable road the past few months (that's why I haven't blogged). We became an official and serious we, and got pregnant with twins. After too many foot-long needles, ultrasounds, and blood tests we learned Baby B wasn't doing so good. Many tissues and doctor appointments later Baby A is flying solo, is healthy, moving tooooo much, and is expected in the Fall (due date is halloween - isn't that weird). We are getting married soon. Started to plan a wedding - found a dress I like (and thought I could squeeze my rapidly expanding body into), picked my favorite local photographer, and found a really beautiful place to have our ceremony:




the peace (rock) garden, minneapolis
... but then reality of life, bills, stress of exams, and the fact that we'll soon have another mouth to feed. We've decided to marry and do a ceremony/party later (after we get a house, a mini-van for soccer mom (yes, me!) or at least when I'm less stressed and overwhelmed. I'm fixated on a house. I love our place and it will be fine for a new, small family member but man, I need a master suite bathroom. Our bathroom is the farthest possible point from our bed and that's killing me. I've had sooo many near misses lately.
Tiana became a Jr. Girlscout after a year of Brownies. Was very cool. This summer she swims everyday (except Sunday, every soccer mom needs a day of rest). Lessons outside and in. Soccer 2x a week. Hoping to go to Rock Camp in July (her favorite music teacher Mike teaches keyboard, guitar, drums and things like that). T is begging to go to "School of Rock". Then, August is her bday and then sleepaway horse camp. I'm definitely nervous about her first time away (she's only 8) but she's told me to calm down and let her go.


Many amazing things going on -
Asia and Medusa will be here SOON! B-Girl Be is happening this week! I didn't curate this week (too much on my plate) but as a founder and fan of women in hip hop, I'll be there for every minute of it!
Full Schedule is HERE!
Nobody Knows My Name is out on DVD in Japan!
Time for swimming lessons now. Can't slow my roll...

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.
Posted by: Carroll B. Merriman | August 4, 2011 6:27 AM
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Posted by: Gregory Despain | August 4, 2011 6:41 AM
Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

In the grand scheme of things you actually receive a B+ just for hard work. Where exactly you actually lost me personally ended up being in your facts. As they say, the devil is in the details... And it couldn't be more correct in this article. Having said that, let me reveal to you exactly what did work. The article (parts of it) is certainly rather convincing which is possibly the reason why I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, while I can certainly see the jumps in logic you come up with, I am not really convinced of just how you appear to unite the details which in turn make the actual final result. For right now I shall subscribe to your point but trust in the future you link your dots much better.

Very insightful article! I discovered your website through accident while I was looking about this subject on Ask search engine. I'm glad that I did because you have given me something to re-examine and consider my position Thanks a lot!

Greetings from California! I'm bored at work so I decided to check out your website on my iphone during lunch break. I love the information you present here and can't wait to take a look when I get home. I'm amazed at how quick your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I'm not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, good blog. Keep up the good work!

Amazing website! I stumbled on your site by accident while I was looking about this matter on Google search engine. I'm happy that I did because you have made me re-examine my stance Cheers!
Posted by: Telecom Plus Scam | August 24, 2011 12:13 PM
In the grand pattern of things you actually get a B- for hard work. Where you lost me personally was first in the particulars. You know, they say, the devil is in the details... And it couldn't be more true in this article. Having said that, permit me say to you just what did do the job. The text is quite persuasive and this is possibly the reason why I am taking an effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, while I can certainly see the leaps in reasoning you make, I am definitely not certain of how you seem to connect your points that produce your final result. For now I shall subscribe to your issue but wish in the foreseeable future you connect your dots much better.
Posted by: Telecom Plus Scam | August 24, 2011 12:19 PM
With everything which seems to be building inside this specific subject matter, many of your points of view happen to be relatively exciting. Having said that, I appologize, but I can not subscribe to your entire idea, all be it stimulating none the less. It would seem to everyone that your comments are generally not completely justified and in fact you are your self not entirely convinced of the assertion. In any case I did enjoy reading through it.
Posted by: Telecom Plus Scam | August 24, 2011 12:23 PM
Together with everything which appears to be building inside this specific subject material, all your viewpoints are fairly exciting. On the other hand, I am sorry, but I do not give credence to your whole idea, all be it radical none the less. It seems to everyone that your commentary are not entirely rationalized and in reality you are yourself not really wholly convinced of the point. In any event I did appreciate looking at it.
Posted by: Uwclub Scam | August 24, 2011 12:24 PM
In the great design of things you actually secure a B+ with regard to effort and hard work. Where you confused us was on the specifics. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more true here. Having said that, let me say to you just what did give good results. Your text is certainly quite engaging and that is probably the reason why I am making an effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, while I can certainly see a leaps in reason you make, I am definitely not certain of how you seem to unite your details which in turn help to make the conclusion. For right now I shall yield to your point but trust in the foreseeable future you connect your facts better.
Posted by: Uwclub Scam | August 24, 2011 12:26 PM
Throughout this great scheme of things you receive a B+ for effort. Where you misplaced everybody ended up being in your details. You know, they say, the devil is in the details... And that couldn't be more true right here. Having said that, allow me reveal to you exactly what did work. The authoring is actually incredibly powerful and that is probably the reason why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can notice the leaps in reason you make, I am not sure of exactly how you appear to unite your points which inturn help to make the final result. For the moment I will subscribe to your issue but wish in the near future you actually connect your facts better.

Almost all of whatever you claim happens to be astonishingly appropriate and it makes me ponder why I hadn't looked at this in this light before. This particular article truly did turn the light on for me as far as this specific subject goes. However there is 1 issue I am not too comfortable with so while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central theme of the point, let me observe just what all the rest of the subscribers have to say.Nicely done.

Now that GWB's final financial disaster (aided, of course, by Duh-1s multiple economy-killing bills) has come to fruition, we're right on the verge of a massive economic recovery. Louts.
