The Flaherty Files: Shelby
http://flahertyjmc425.blogspot.com/2009/04/shelby.html
A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Tuesday, April 14, 2009. This is a picture of me and the dog I grew up with, Shelby. She's a pomeranian/miniature poodle mix that my dad just randomly brought home one day back in 1996 when I was 11 and my sister was 9. We had never had a dog before, and needless to say, we were ecstatic to have this cute, crazy ball of fuzz! You know how it is when you have an animal in your life for years, and you seem to have your own language between the two of you? Shelby e...

The Flaherty Files: The local music scene
http://flahertyjmc425.blogspot.com/2009/04/local-music-scene.html
A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Monday, April 27, 2009. The local music scene. My boyfriend and I went to the Holobora music and art festival on Saturday. We probably would have gone anyway, but we had to go for my zine, The F.Y.I., since I did an entire issue dedicated to the festival and the bands participating in it. We got there early and set up a booth, then sat there to observe as the entire evening went by. Together, we came up with a few conclusions about Kearney's music scene. Another...

The Flaherty Files: Wedding dreams; hair nightmares
http://flahertyjmc425.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-dreams-hair-nightmares.html
A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Thursday, April 23, 2009. Wedding dreams; hair nightmares. One month, two weeks, three days, seven hours and 53 minutes. And the countdown continues to my little sister’s wedding. Despite having procrastinated on everything from the invitations to the decorations, the entire event is finally starting to fall into place, and our mom is breathing a huge sigh of relief. Mom would think about Kate “living in sin” so blatantly. But things really took a turn to the wi...

A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Thursday, April 9, 2009. Review] The King of Kong: A fistfull of quarters. Following the journey of Steve Wiebe, this documentary captures the inner workings of what it takes to be a video game record holder. In the beginning, Wiebe is described by friends and family as “a tragic figure” who has never won anything in his life and who always seems to get the short stick, which becomes apparent with Wiebe’s recent layoff as a Boeing engineer. Like any good film, t...

A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Broken down, haunted and loved [video commentary]. Despite being slightly more expensive and further away from campus, I chose this apartment over the others for its beauty and comfort. I had become attached the moment I stepped foot into the vacant living room, and I simply couldn't turn it down. I didn't care, though. This apartment had charm, and I was enamored. There are so many other historic houses in the neighborhood, yet this h...

The Flaherty Files: "If they're running and don't look where they're going, I have to come out from somewhere and catch them."
http://flahertyjmc425.blogspot.com/2009/04/if-theyre-running-and-dont-look-where.html
A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Saturday, April 4, 2009. If they're running and don't look where they're going, I have to come out from somewhere and catch them.". Over at Jezebel.com. There's a blog post/commentary about the strange pilgrimmages some people take to get J.D. Salinger to talk. But before I end this post, I'll have to include a comment that someone left on Jezebel that makes me laugh so hard:. If I were Salinger, I would probably set up a highly intricate and highly dangerous ob...

The Flaherty Files: Controversial quilts!?
http://flahertyjmc425.blogspot.com/2009/04/controversial-quilts.html
A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Saturday, April 4, 2009. I know, right? I was surprised to come across this, but the latest issue of Quilter's Home magazine contains a "Shocking Quilts: we show you the controversial patchwork! Story Apparently, the quilts were so shocking and offensive, Jo Ann's Fabric store refused to carry the issue. Even after offering to shrink wrap the magazine, much like Hustlers and other magazines of that type, Jo Ann's still refused. Click to see the images. If theyre...

A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Friday, March 6, 2009. Watchmen story is pretty cool; the movie, eh. So some friends and I went to the Watchmen midnight release last night. The last time we went to one of these things, it was for the Dark Knight, and it was insane with huge crowds of people and many costumed fans running around. Anyway, for people who don't know about the graphic novel or its multiple failures at becoming a movie in the past, here's a quick synopsis:. The reason Watchmen has f...
