Fickle, Fuddled Words: August 2009
http://psleavitt.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
One chapter ends, another begins. On Thursday, August 13, 2009. If my life was a novel, I don't think anyone would read past the introduction. Fortunately, this blog contains only an abridged version. Anyway, in keeping with this "novel of life" metaphor, tomorrow will mark the end of what has been an exciting chapter in my life: a summer-long business reporting internship at The Arizona Republic. And as this internship comes to a close, I'm struck by one thought: Nothing lasts. So here are four books I ...

Fickle, Fuddled Words: November 2009
http://psleavitt.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
This is my November. On Wednesday, November 4, 2009. A few nights ago, I realized that for each of the last six Novembers, I've lived in a different city. Six cities in six Novembers. And it is a near certainty that next November, that number will rise to seven. Here's the breakdown:. November 2004: Mesa, AZ. November 2005: Cheongju, South Korea. November 2006: Gwangju, South Korea. November 2007: Scottsdale, AZ. November 2008: Phoenix, AZ. November 2009: Tempe, AZ. View from the sideline. ASU quarterbac...

Fickle, Fuddled Words: December 2009
http://psleavitt.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
One last peek over my shoulder. On Thursday, December 31, 2009. This year has certainly been the most eventful 365 days of my life. My circumstances, my priorities and my goals are much different than on Jan. 1. The first half of 2009 was just ridiculously fun. In August, I transitioned from a full-time Pulliam Fellow to a part-time community intern, working out of the Republic's Mesa office. Just two weeks later, the phone on my desk rang, and I was offered a full-time job. Technically, I slept ...But I...

Riding off into the Sunset. On Monday, September 28, 2009. A few days ago, I was driving on the Loop 202 SanTan freeway in Gilbert, and I was treated to this spectacular sunset. Some would say I shouldn't have taken a photo while driving. That's probably true. But then I wouldn't have a picture of the sun setting behind South Mountain to share with you tonight. I would have been forced to write yet another heavy, philosophical blog post. Stay the thought. A Code of Honour. On Sunday, September 27, 2009.

Movie review: 'Paranormal Activity'. On Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Friends had told me, "It's the scariest movie I've ever seen.". My sister Haley had said it's "INSANELY scary. You won't sleep the night you see it, guaranteed.". My sister Katie and her husband Clark refused to go see it with me, because, based on what they had heard, it would be too scary for them to handle. Well, let me play the part of "mythbuster.". Not to mention, I didn't eat any of my candy. The movie's best feature is definitel...
