Crazy in My Mailbox
Somehow, I ended up on the DCCC‘s mailing list. I blame my subscription to Mother Jones. It’s a kick-ass investigative journalism magazine, but let’s face it: the subscriber demographics skew liberal. Therefore I occasionally get political mail. Sometimes it’s kind of hilarious. That’s the nature of political mail—it’s old fashioned propaganda designed to get you … Read more
SMU Link Soup: It’s Mmm… Mmm… Good
I used to round up links for my EIC blog (before I apparently forgot how to post to it). I figure this could be a good thing to do on this blog, since I’m still getting Google Alerts about SMU. I can’t wait for graduation and the day I can turn them off. So without … Read more

I do … Read more
The Moment of Realization: It’s My Last Summer

It’s Been Five Days, Yet I Still Haven’t Removed That Bookmark
Five days ago, you could say I committed the gravest of social media sins by deleting my Facebook account. I have yet to fully acclimate to my new, non-Facebook life. For instance, if my Google Reader should run dry and my Twitter feed update slowly, I’m tempted to click on that Facebook bookmark. I want … Read more
