Pinktober! Queue Another Stupid Facebook Meme | Quixotic Chick
https://donnatrussell.wordpress.com/2012/10/04/pinktober-queue-another-stupid-facebook-meme
Alas, the evening is nigh. Q and A on Fishbone. Poem for My Mother. Queue Another Stupid Facebook Meme. October 4, 2012. Photo by Jörgen Viberg [courtesy flicker / creative commons]. There’s a chill in the air. That used to mean leaves turning yellow and crimson, but now it means everything in sight turning pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. October means a new Facebook meme that allegedly raises awareness of breast cancer. This helps raise awareness? Queue another stupid Facebook meme. It’s b...

Roxie the Cockeyed Optimist: October 2011
http://roxiethecockeyedoptimist.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Roxie the Cockeyed Optimist. Optimism in Real Time. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. How to make your own checkbook register. I decided to take a little break from writing about optimism and think about the direction of this blog. More than two years seems a long time to keep writing about our struggles (and they do continue) while we wait to see optimism coming over the horizon. There are signs, though. The Occupy Wall Street movement. The public opinion polls. A homemade checkbook register. You'll need to pu...

Roxie the Cockeyed Optimist: Three days
http://roxiethecockeyedoptimist.blogspot.com/2011/07/three-days.html
Roxie the Cockeyed Optimist. Optimism in Real Time. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Okay I'll bite. Why is it that Kansas City is now considered the most positive city on the planet? Yes This planet. Earth. The half-time of the most recent Sporting KC match was devoted to this bit of shocking news. Could I expect to get an anonymous call ala "The Ring" announcing I had but three days before I, too, would become insanely positive? Believe it. You're number one on the planet." While we were all so ecstatic...The U...

Roxie the Cockeyed Optimist: March 2011
http://roxiethecockeyedoptimist.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Roxie the Cockeyed Optimist. Optimism in Real Time. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Tips from a Dip. The idea was to try and have cake pops perfected quickly. After which, I'd bring them by a couple of coffee shops in my neighborhood that also sell locally-made sweets. I thought it was a pretty good plan. It should have worked. Here's what happened instead:. Because you see, there are apparently an infinite number of small details that can cause problems with cake pops. But that wasn't all. I also froze the ...

http://roxiethecockeyedoptimist.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-dont-do-new-years-resolutions.html
Roxie the Cockeyed Optimist. Optimism in Real Time. Tuesday, January 20, 2009. I don't do New Year's resolutions. Well, not usually. The only one in memory is from around 1999 and I remember it primarily because it was successful. Resolved: I will wear more earrings. And it worked! Wear more earrings. It was such a success that I've been reluctant to try and top it. Now, though. Well, I guess most of the people reading this are in about the same place, so I'll spare you the tales of unreplaced. You don't...

Roxie the Cockeyed Optimist: November 2010
http://roxiethecockeyedoptimist.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Roxie the Cockeyed Optimist. Optimism in Real Time. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. Dream, dream, dream. The New York Times ran an interesting story on happiness the other day by John Tierney. Apparently there's a study now that suggests that if you let your mind wander while you're doing a task, you're more apt to be unhappy later. And also in Science. Wait Hold on. Trackyourhappiness. Maybe it's just me, but doesn't that kind of put the science in question? I've seen iPhones. If I could afford one, I...

Flatiron Writers Blog: What I Did For My Summer Vacation: The Sewanee Writers’ Conference
http://flatironwritersblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-i-did-for-my-summer-vacation.html
A writers blog from the Flatiron Writers group in Asheville, North Carolina. Monday, December 8, 2008. What I Did For My Summer Vacation: The Sewanee Writers’ Conference. This July I spent twelve days at the Sewanee Writers’ Conference in Sewanee, Tennessee. It was fabulous. I got out of it everything I had hoped, and more. Changing the agent sign-up process was the only suggestion I had for improvement when I completed my Sewanee exit survey. Http:/ www.perpetualfolly.blogspot.com/. The website for the ...

The Future of Newspapers: Kindred: Thoughts About E-Reading
http://futureofpapers.blogspot.com/2009/04/kindred-thoughts-about-e-reading.html
The Future of Newspapers. I'm a newspaper columnist who - like pretty much every other person I know in the business - spends a lot of time worrying and wondering about where newspapers are going. This is a small attempt to find some light in the fog. View my complete profile. Reflections of a Newsosaur. An inside peek at Silicon Valley for media leaders. Telling the whole story. Front page of the day: ‘Bam’s tears’. This article was written specifically for you (well, someday it will be). 160; ...
