back spasm

Last Wednesday I suffered an awful back spasm. Couldn’t even walk. Definitely cannot sit. Not supposed to be on the computer til next week, but thought I would sneak in a post. Went to the chiropracter for the first time, x-rays were taken, it didn’t look good. However, thanks to an ice pack, a devoted [...]

daily show and MySpace

I know this was weeks ago, but I lost the link to the video clip. Now having joined YouTube.com, I have a feeling I will be posting more video links up here as well as my own!

first trauma theory post

Having received the official word that this will, indeed, be my last semester of coursework and that I can spend the summer studying for the comps and trying to publish something, anything, I’m ecstatic. Also making me ecstatic are my tax return, distinguished scholar award money, and a June trip to Kona thanks to Pat [...]

Farewell to Gavin

This is what I’ve been waiting for ever since hearing a week ago that Gavin had passed away. I was surprised to hear that none of his fellow actors spoke as his funeral, but am please to see that their sentiments were published today.

Save the Big Easy petition

This is the form email I got and promised to send along: I found this great web site that is trying to save New Orleans from another hurricane. They are trying to collect 1 Million signatures so Congress will pass a bill to rebuild the levees stronger this time. I just signed the pledge. Please [...]

cool conferences

This looks very interesting to me, a conference devoted to ICTs in emergency situations, but perhaps too techy. No matter, I’m traveling at that time anyway. Jill/txt also blogs about the TCC Worldwide Online Conference, which I can just log on for, so I think that’s my choice.

MySpace or yours?

After reading an article in Vanity Fair last month called “Will Success Spoil MySpace?” [who knew that Rupert Murdoch had purchased the company!?] and constantly hearing on the local news that schools are banning students from accessing MySpace from school computers, I began to wonder whether or not this will have an effect on my [...]

demolition man

It still up in the air what my parents plan to do with our house, but I got the word from my mom that our across the street neighbor torn his down this week. He is a young high school teacher who had just bought the house a couple of years ago, if that. He [...]

spring cleaning

I know, I know. I have slipped into my Spring scant blogging behavior again. I hadn’t looked at my MSN blog in awhile, but reviewed it today [thanks to Rita's post] and saw this post. That Don Cesar time is right around the corner, and it freaks me out that AC and I have been [...]

David Cuthbert Theater writer Gavin Mahlie, one of New Orleans’ most active and popular actors, died in his sleep Tuesday morning. He was 42. The only actor to have appeared in all 12 seasons of The Shakespeare Festival at Tulane, he had acted in more than 60 local theater productions at virtually every stage in [...]

in loving memory

I’m just getting more of the details surrounding my dear friend Gavin’s heart attack and death, but it’s hard to believe when all that you can rely on is a network of phone calls. It’s been confirmed that he was found in bed this morning and I just wish I were in New Orleans to [...]

I swear I am related to Bob Schieffer

Although people who are related generally disagree…. Here’s the deal: I had the same thoughts as Bob years ago when I heard about the money being spent on a Mars mission. I have nothing against NASA or other scientific powers that be. My father made pieces of the external tank of the Space Shuttle at [...]
