marianne schmarianne: August 2007
http://marianneholohan.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
I'm not surprised, but I never feel quite prepared.". Thursday, August 09, 2007. These, my friends, are the dog days of summer. And I hate them. HATE them. I feel like I capitalize the word "hate" a lot on this blog. Hmmm.). All this to say that while I'm feeling glib about the coming tasks right now, I will soon feel miserable about them, and the misery will be heightened by my memories of the glibness. And, in thinking about this emotional process, my glibness is being spoiled. Gaaaa. I hate capri pants.

marianne schmarianne: Jury's Out
http://marianneholohan.blogspot.com/2008/06/jurys-out.html
I'm not surprised, but I never feel quite prepared.". Thursday, June 19, 2008. Today I fulfilled a "very important" civic duty- or at least, I tried my best. Yes, I reported for jury duty. No, I didn't make today's cut. In fact, I was one of the first people to be dismissed. That our government is run by the common people! So, about those questions. One asked if you or anyone close to you had been accused of a crime. I had to circle yes, because two people "close to me" have been. Then, anoth...As I list...

Popping Culture: July 2005 Archives
http://www.danielchampion.com/archives/2005/07/index.html
Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors. African proverb. Laquo; June 2005. August 2005 ». July 31, 2005. Popping Cancer Update: The world the way I see it. The current schedule looks like this:. Tuesday - Visit with cancer doctor. Not much he can do until we confirm that pneumonia is gone. Next Monday (the 8th) - CATscan to confirm that pneumonia is gone, if, you know, the pneumonia is gone. WHAT MIGHT REALLY HAPPEN:. So that is my plan. Any comments, congratulations or rebuttals? Thomas Haden Church w...

marianne schmarianne: February 2008
http://marianneholohan.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
I'm not surprised, but I never feel quite prepared.". Sunday, February 24, 2008. No matter how much I attempt to intellectualize my love of Daniel Day-Lewis, I must admit that beneath my regard for his incredible acting lies what can only be defined as a school-girl crush. I love his crooked nose, his bemused and slightly ironic smile, his ability to lose himself completely in each character. And tonight, Oscar night, I loved his hoop earrings, longish hair, and soft-spoken acceptance speech. Christian B...

A La Mode: May 2010
http://a-la-mode-2010.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 29, 2010. Too fat for fashion? Are you familiar with American Apparel? The retailer boasts a stock of American-made clothes ranging from basic tee shirts to. less basic pieces. They're a popular brand because of their basics and because of their non-sweatshop approach. But they're also a controversial brand – and only partially because they think people want to wear metallic leggings.

http://marianneholohan.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
I'm not surprised, but I never feel quite prepared.". Wednesday, July 09, 2008. The answer is NO. Today, as I innocently walked down my street, just yards from my own front door, my SOCKS were solicited by a self-proclaimed foot-fetishist in a passing pick-up truck. I would have paid him more to describe the look on my face at that moment, which I'm sure was an ugly mixture of shock and outrage. 1 It was a dare. He was pretty young; even though he seemed to be alone in the truck, a friend may have be...

marianne schmarianne: Retail Therapy Gone Bad
http://marianneholohan.blogspot.com/2008/11/retail-therapy-gone-bad.html
I'm not surprised, but I never feel quite prepared.". Saturday, November 22, 2008. Retail Therapy Gone Bad. Can one be a socialist and also love shopping? More pressingly, can I be a socialist and continue to love shopping? I've been aware of this, but I've accepted these contradictions with the ubiquitous cop-out of my generation: "At least I admit it." As I gaze longingly at retail displays, I think smugly, "At least I know what's really. While Mike isn't a socialist per say, he and I both stick up for...

marianne schmarianne: January 2008
http://marianneholohan.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
I'm not surprised, but I never feel quite prepared.". Sunday, January 27, 2008. Let's run away to Atlantic City, let's feel the wind in our hair. ". In response to one of my lethargic posts a few weeks ago, Em borrowed some lyrics from Ragtime to suggest a trip "down the shore." It was kind of a joke, but I think she knew that even bringing up the Jersey shore would make me come speeding across PA for a visit. But, it's winter (in case you hadn't noticed), and Em had a cold, so we decided to stay away fr...

http://marianneholohan.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
I'm not surprised, but I never feel quite prepared.". Thursday, November 08, 2007. Linford Detweiler, of the band Over the Rhine, was the first writer to convince me that non-fiction could be beautiful and interesting. (I even got to tell him so once, and he appeared to actually care.) He did this through his folky, idiosyncratic autobiographical writing in which faith, landscape, and art merge with the self. And now, he's done it again:. And Over the Rhine's new album, The Trumpet Child. But then we eng...
