Long Way Round
Having searched Netflix quite often for travel documentaries, I came across Long Way Round, which features my favorite Scot, Ewan McGregor, and his best mate Charley Boorman riding 20,000 miles on some fabulous BMW motorbikes. It’s a 2-disc set and I was glued to the tv for all 7 hours. If you aren’t familiar with [...]
dissertation desk
We spent all day cleaning up the apartment, setting aside tons of paper to recycle, and moving bookshelves from room to room. The initial plan was to have our living room have 3 writing spaces–1 for me, 1 for Andy, and 1 common computer station–but once I saw how much space was in our spare [...]
A few of my favorite [NOLA] things…

public and private
Everyday I log on and wonder what to blog about. I start a post, then get bored with it and delete it before publishing. Lately, I’ve become more private with what I want to share on my blog, mainly because I’ve shifted into “to-do” mode with several lists of things to accomplish this summer. A [...]

I was so close to going this year [in fact, I think my name may have been on a proposal submitted by an uber-placeblogger], but the conference overlaps my last 2 days at Harvard. The posted schedule of days 1 and 2 look fabulous though, so go girls go!

more blogosphere attention to NOLA
“New Orleans shows signs of hope and grief” They quote bloggers from First-Draft and this is the link to their Katrina category. A passage I found moving [although I don't know why they didn't give his blog address]: Sinfonian, who blogs from Florida, said he has a lot of emotional attachment for New Orleans, so [...]
Barack, a high maintenance friend?
As someone who was “friends” with Barack Obama on MySpace, I noticed the “?” profile image then was surprised to learn of the brew-ha-ha is happening over on his page. Read TechPresident’s take on it here and here as well as the profile owner’s blog here. Oh and my favorite Cafe Press item of merchandise [...]
MyDD on Hurricane Katrina
Part 1 of 3: Since the Storm: No End to Katrina in New Orleans, which is a truthful take on post-Katrina NOLA, proving that she’s ever-present. In the midst of [planning to do some] wedding planning, I was overcome with the impact Katrina had on even that. It would all be so much easier if [...]
