Am I getting old?
Seriously.
I can’t remember a single thing these days. I have a PDA to help me remember appointments but what good is it if I can’t remember the PDA?

I got a Tivo. Oy. This is a dangerous thing for someone like me.
I love movies.
In case you didn’t quite catch that, let me restate it:

In the last year (or so), I have been [...]

I’m currently working on two projects for my classes.
The first is a rhetorical analysis of the textual and visual elements of one woman’s blog. I am looking at how she writes and posts images and how they may define the public identity that she has created. In addition, I’m looking at how much community, or [...]

I was watch a movie on ABC Family this weekend with Harvey Keitel in it. He was playing a reclusive writer who was living in Italy with his three daughters. It was quite charming and I enjoyed it very much. And then he threw out a [...]
