Am I getting old?
Seriously.
I can’t remember a single thing these days. I have a PDA to help me remember appointments but what good is it if I can’t remember the PDA?
I have a calendar that is filled from dawn to dusk with appointments and schedules.
I have a paper [...]

I got a Tivo. Oy. This is a dangerous thing for someone like me.
I love movies.
In case you didn’t quite catch that, let me restate it:

In the last year (or so), I have been [...]
A few months ago, my brother told me about Inspiration. He told me that this software would assist me in the organization of my papers and help me do quick outlines, drafts, etc. Typically those aren’t things that I have difficulty with so I got the software but it has just sat on my laptop [...]

In the same Harvey Keitel movie from the entry below, Keitel’s character tells another would-be writer that typewriters force writers to pay attention to each word carefully because the writer can’t backspace, highlight, and delete. The entire process is much more time-consuming with a typewriter.
So, this got me [...]
I’m currently working on two projects for my classes.
The first is a rhetorical analysis of the textual and visual elements of one woman’s blog. I am looking at how she writes and posts images and how they may define the public identity that she has created. In addition, I’m looking at how much community, or [...]

I was watch a movie on ABC Family this weekend with Harvey Keitel in it. He was playing a reclusive writer who was living in Italy with his three daughters. It was quite charming and I enjoyed it very much. And then he threw out a [...]
