we seem to share a restlessness of spirit: July 2009

http://mostlygone.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

We seem to share a restlessness of spirit. Monday, July 20, 2009. Dear Tivo, please die. I have problems with the way people watch TV these days. I've said before that i don't believe in Tivo. I think it robs viewers of the communal aspect of watching TV on a schedule. This was an easy perspective to have because up until now, I've never had a Tivo, so i didn't have to worry about it. Ii never had a chance to utilize or even enjoy its many features. So there you go. I wanted to be able to share this ...

we seem to share a restlessness of spirit: July 2008

http://mostlygone.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

We seem to share a restlessness of spirit. Sunday, July 27, 2008. You-hoo-hooooo may say i'm a pessimist, but i'm not the only one. This might seem alarming i think the john lennon song "imagine" is pretty depressing. I know i am probably not the go-to source for trenchant insights into widely popular, yet, sadly, misunderstood songs*, but i think everyone has been looking at this song the wrong way. Who can really argue with that. sounds pretty awesome. But is the price worth the reward? So this perfect...

we seem to share a restlessness of spirit: August 2008

http://mostlygone.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

We seem to share a restlessness of spirit. Wednesday, August 06, 2008. Almost)* liveblogging austrian music television. I haven't had a TV in six months, and have barely watched any television in 11. With my recent move across town I find myself in an apartment with a TV and only one channel* - "gotv," or basically austria's answer to MTV. Hearts Burned Into Fire," by Bullet for My Valentine. I was totally wrong! Which boggled my mind. there was even a "screamo" break. i'm disappointed already. I'm guess...

we seem to share a restlessness of spirit: girl talk playing tonight at the smash club

http://mostlygone.blogspot.com/2009/07/girl-talk-playing-tonight-at-smash-club.html

We seem to share a restlessness of spirit. Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Girl talk playing tonight at the smash club. Girl talk is coming back to pittsburgh on July 31, and thanks to my favorite pittsburgh boy coming up with a very thoughtful birthday gift, i'm gonna be there. i am brimming with the proverbial excitement, as the show i attended of his back in the summer of '07 was one of my favorite concert-going experiences ever. I also know a little bit better now how difficult it is to do what he does&#46...

we seem to share a restlessness of spirit: America v. America

http://mostlygone.blogspot.com/2009/07/america-v-america.html

We seem to share a restlessness of spirit. Friday, July 17, 2009. America v. America. Now that I've returned to the land/home of the free/brave, and because i don't currently have a job per se so i have a lot of free time on my hands, i've been considering what I'm returning to. Is the America of July 2009 better, worse or more or less the same as the America of August 2007? Have I upgraded or downgraded? Let's consider the facts. Conan on an hour earlier? Two years ago when I moved away, I packed up mos...

we seem to share a restlessness of spirit: January 2009

http://mostlygone.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

We seem to share a restlessness of spirit. Saturday, January 03, 2009. Liveblog: atlanta international airport. 11:31 i arrived in Atlanta about an hour ago; i still have just a shade under 7 hours until my connecting flight leaves for Prague. i rode the cool little light rail train to Concourse E and situated myself at a Wi Fi Hot Spot in the food court. Atlanta is totally aware that it's 2009 and the internet should be ubiquitous and free. Awesome. My brain isn't equipped to handle such challenges.

We seem to share a restlessness of spirit. Monday, February 07, 2011. Advanced Methods Digital Text Project - The Hidden Speech. This is a digital text I created as an assignment for my Advanced Methods class. In the play Julius Caesar, what might have happened if a woman could have followed Brutus and Antony's speeches at Caesar's funeral? Here's a speech from a concerned female citizen, reacting to the rhetoric of Rome's strong, powerful men. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 12 Weeks in the Amazon Jungle.

we seem to share a restlessness of spirit: unwritten laws of bathroom etiquette

http://mostlygone.blogspot.com/2009/10/unwritten-laws-of-bathroom-etiquette.html

We seem to share a restlessness of spirit. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Unwritten laws of bathroom etiquette. This is my clarion call for a new unwritten social law. i think forced small talk in the ladies' bathroom should be abolished. I think that men have this rule. i mean, it's been a while since i've been in a men's room, but isn't it like NOT COOL, if you are a dude, to talk to another dude while both aforementioned dudes are at the urinal? Is it okay to pretend they aren't there? And like, i just ...
