Follow-up on the new project bug.
Last night I did my coding class things and learned a lot. Fiction writing and wedding website are forthcoming. I emailed a local org about getting involved with youth and media literacy programs.

I've got the new project bug.
And I have a few options.
1.) One of the options is start a new blog or website. This is always an option! I buy URLs and set new Tumblr names and I never act on them, even when it is a great idea. This is obviously the most fun but the least practical in every respect. I mean, you all totally want to read a regular blog about what I think about the repetitive local arts and media scene,...

"Christie Leads Prince on Tour of Damage"
In a whirlwind road tour that many have likened to General Sherman’s march across Georgia, New Jersey governor Chris Christie has accompanied his best friend, the musical artist known as Prince, on a grooving, boozing and wholly devastating crash course of high cool across much of the country.

Women's Choirs Make Solos Seem Lonely →
I wrote about three very different women’s choirs in the Twin Cities and all the cool work they do— defying everything our culture puts forward about catty, competitive women. Thanks to all the ladies who participated; this was a fun piece to put together!

True Story
I was obsessed with three musicians around early 2007, which was when I left Charleston for Minnesota: Justin Timberlake, Matthew Houck (Phosphorescent) and Jason Molina. On my solo drives up and down and across the country, the car packed stuffed with all of my things, I listened to their cds on repeat and thought about all of their syrupy voices, the luxury sexiness, the good-time guy with...

place studies, deep settings
tales of moral ambiguity where nothing much happens and there are no consequences
lots of scenes in bars and bedrooms and houses
close third...
