  • The Vampire Culture

    November 22, 2009

    • Sunday, November 22, 2009 Why are vampires so popular? Really, I'm curious.Perhaps its a sign of my age and relative isolation that I don't fully understand the vampire craze. The entertainment industry is currently driven by the genre of fantasy, which even I have to admit, I find somewhat refreshing given the mainstream consumption of reality TV, medical dramas and other docudrama ...

  • The Climate of Creativity

    November 17, 2009

    • Tuesday, November 17, 2009I grew up in Ohio, where the weather is as unpredictable as the number of cows you might see driving to work each day. One thing is guranteed, however: each winter it will snow.

When’s the wedding?I know it’s a fair question, a somewhat fair assumption. When two people are in a long-term relationship, the discussion of ...

  • Happy News

    November 7, 2009

    • Friday, November 6, 2009 Happy News San Antonio news is rather different than Columbus news. For instance, rather than wearing suits and immovable coiffed hair (both men and women) as the new anchors do in Ohio, in Texas, news anchors often look as though they have yet to change clothes after getting home from the club at 3AM. I've also noticed, since living in Texas, that there are an ...

  • No!

    Don't take the laptop into the kitchen. I can already anticipate the next post... Great blog! I can relate.

  • Interesting Post

    It seems that online marketing is easy, cheap and efficient. However, I doubt it will be so easy to really get attention this way for long.

  • Beautiful Post

    I enjoyed this post because I feel a similar sort of comfort in bookstores and libraries (unless I'm working there, but that's another story...) I especially love finding underlines or notes in the m

  • Fascinating

    This was a truly interesting read. Here, in San Antonio, Halloween is celebrated like Christmas, lights on homes and parades downtown.
