Busy signal...

Today I joined not one, but two social networking sites--Pownce and Ravelry. I'm geeking out, even though I'm on dial-up, and am probably going to end up spending the entire weekend adding my knitting projects to Ravelry. Oh, I didn't mention is was a knitting network? Yeah, I meant it when I said I was geeking out. But not before I finish Harry Potter...

I'm just kind of picturing you in a rocking chair, knitting with a kitty on your lap. The house is quiet and dark except for the light reading lamp just back and to the right and the flickering from the fireplace.

In the corner of the room is your ancient macintosh computer with your AOL dial-up and the outdated printer which only uses the paper with the perforated edges.

Every now and again, you sip some herbal tea and consider picking up the book, checked out from the library, with the inspirational bookmark with a long string of yarn attached to the end of it.

Am I close?

well, i thought it was a very nice picture, indeed. peaceful, content, though maybe a little lonely. (especially without the kitten!) but the kind of loneliness that's filled with wonderful memories. there's no need to say "ouch."

if it would make you feel better, i'll put a disco ball on the ceiling.

by the way, your profile says you're 251 years old. now that's just silly.

Less Blogging, More Tweeting

FYI, I haven't been happy with how a lot of my posts are turning out, as well as the frequency with which I'm posting. Since most of the time, I just want to share a link that has an interesting take on telling its story, I'm going to dust off my Twitter account to share those and only post here if I'm really inspired. To the twelve people who read this blog, thanks.

Something's been bothering me

...since my post last week about the anti-Rove protest on campus. A bit of an identity crisis. Here I am, someone who has had major life-altering experiences (drug-free, thank you) at a May Day protest years ago, putting down activists I agree with. Have I become cold and heartless? Well, no. I realized early on that protests and radical actions were not my thing. But they work for some people, and I was assigned an article for a class that reminded me that even if they don't directly affect change, radical actions do have reasons: Activist organizations use disruptive image events, which are highly charged protests that involve visuals such as people being buried up to their necks in roads and grandparents chaining themselves to trees (DeLuca, 1999). Such events rarely put an immediate stop to the things activist organizations protest; however, according to a Greenpeace campaigner, success is judged by the protestors’ abilities to reduce complex issues to symbols that disrupt pe...
