Some Ladybloggers I Like
I came across this list the other day and I don’t read any of those, so I figured I should make my own.
Color Me Katie: Sometimes she’s a little too sunshiney for my cynical self, but Katie’s work is adorable (and so is her cat!) and her photos are gorgeous.
Hyperbole and a Half: This blog, accompanied by Allie’s rudimentary Microsoft Paint illustrations, makes me LOL...

Costa Rica - Day Two (5/7/10)
We woke up early on the second day of our Costa Rica trip, with the intention of spending as much time in the wilderness as possible. The traffic leaving San José wasn’t too terrible but once we got off the highway, it was clear that it was going to be a much different driving experience than we were used to. The roads became exceedingly steep and windy, and Nick still hadn’t gotten the hang of...

Costa Rica – Day One (5/6/10)
Our first harrowing adventure in Costa Rica involved driving to our hotel in San José. My brother Nick and I had booked an amazing package deal that cost a total of $500 per person for airfare, a week’s worth of hotels and a rental car. A couple months before our departure, I learned that pretty much all cars in Costa Rica, including our rental car, have manual transmissions. Nick told me he had...

The Doree Chronicles: Life As a Table →
Okay, when I was riding my bike today after the cab ride from hell (I said I would continue the story but I realized I was only writing it to be cathartic and it is actually a pretty standard/boring sucky cab ride story) I came up with this total self-helpy metaphor for, like, my life? So it’s a table, and the 4 legs are usually some version of 1) relationship, 2) friendships, 3) work/career,...

I Need to Watch More NBC
Dude: What are your favorite TV shows? Let me guess -- "30 Rock" and "The Office"?
Me: Why, because I look like Erin from "The Office" and act like Liz Lemon?
Dude: Yes, exactly.

On Nostalgia
I kind of want to take everything that existed in the ’90s and put it all in one big room and roll around in it and then set it on fire.

Look At Me! →
When the Internet forced journalism to compete economically after years of monopoly, journalism panicked and adopted some of the worst examples of the nothing-based economy, in which success depends on the continued infantilization of both supply and demand. At the same time, journalism clung to its myths of objectivity and detachment, using them to dismiss the emerging blogger threat as ...
