btw this is officially a blogging lull. See ya in a week or so. Love, r.


OK, if Lynsi gets to do a wish list and Kaci gets to have an internet, I want both or I”m pouting. My April middle-class wish list doesn’t count.

My BIGGEST wish is to get my wisdom teeth out. They. Hurt. All. The. Time. Even though my teeth are a little yellow, they are rather straight [...]


Dear MySpace,
I admit, you’ve come a long way. You help me keep in touch without also opening my private life to every pervert in the world. However, your “networking” feature is a little out-of-touch. Didn’t you get the memo that we’re all recessionistas now?

I’m pretty sure your target market here is going to need a [...]


Workin’ at the EG today trying to make my way through my to-do list. Managed to spot this section editor’s note in someone’s story.

Delaney and I are silly beans in Kelsie’s bathroom.
Though this picture is probs circa 2005, notice that I’m dressed like it’s 1975. Go grunge. This makes me want to grow my hair out.

In about two months is the annual Eastern Washington high school journalism convention at WSU Tri-Cities in Richland. The exact date is Sept. 25. I attended this conference in 2005 and 2006, and I thought it was so cool. Even back then, the Evergreen made an impression on me.
Last year, I presented on [...]
