Women in rock: some things never change

~LS~ — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 02:09:30 +0000

Baton Rouge has a new radio station: 103.3. Well, not a new radio station but an old station with a new format. The new format is "Music for Generation X." That's me, of course. The old format was "Divas" -- not for me. I listened to the station... Read more

Why I’m retro (and not in a good way)

~LS~ — Fri, 29 May 2009 18:37:00 +0000

1.I still play on text-based games (muds, mux, etc.). Most of the gaming world has moved onto MMORPGs. 2. My cellphone is the one they sell to senior citizens. Big digit buttons, no keyboard for texting. I don't text. I don't surf. I don't even... Read more

Twilight

~LS~ — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:20:00 +0000

I didn't know Twilight was written by a Mormon mother. How curious. Yes, I read the book and I'm half way through the second volume. I don't understand all the hype. It seems like a very emo teenage love story and that's about it. But I do love a... Read more

The hidden cost of graduate school

~LS~ — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 22:02:40 +0000

So I just paid my student loan a couple of days ago, which basically means I hit a button on the loan website and depleted my financial resources for another month. I started to reflect on the debilitating costs of graduate school, costs which most... Read more

An article about contemporary students' sense of entitlement is all over the Canadian papers today. It cites a UC Irvine study published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence. The article discusses how entitled today's students feel. Here are some... Read more

My Website:I really need to update my website. Many of my links are stale. I added some links to the Donna Haraway page and update my spyware page, but they are both still sadly out of date. I'm also tired of the design, but the thought of... Read more

Post-Birthday Gushing and Ranting

~LS~ — Wed, 30 Jul 2003 05:45:00 +0000

My husband seriously rocks. Ruth's Chris? Excellent. They cook their steaks in butter. Calorie count? Food for a week for a family of New Millennial beggars in Lagos, Nigeria (if you don't understand that joke, it's because you don't realize blogs... Read more

Obama and Generation Jones

~LS~ — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 18:31:00 +0000

So, I've never heard of Generation Jones -- the generation between the Boomers and Gen X -- until recently. Generation Jones is presumably named such because they (we) are a generation of Jonesers. We yearn for things. This, I identify with. We were... Read more

My grandmother and her family

~LS~ — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:08:11 +0000

Generation Y documents everything about itself. Facebook, youtube, myspace, flickr, the repositories of that generation are endless. My generation has some documentation; we've got home movies, videos, pictures, but nothing close to what the... Read more

Miscellaneous Blogata

Thank god people of christian faith are starting to wake up about the War in Iraq. Finally, just as the president's approval ratings are sinking to historic lows, even the Christian right is turning against the war in Iraq. It reminds me of how... Read more
