Moving on and settling down…all at once
Ellen on Common CementPosted by beth on May 22, 2009
I caught the end of this on Ellen’s show today, so I looked up the whole thing. It’s ten minutes long, but it’s Ellen, man. It’s funny and she’s got some good stuff to say. Especially at the very very end. Don’t ever hesitate to remind me of those last few words if I get [...]
Helping the GooglersPosted by beth on May 19, 2009
So I’ve told y’all before about how I have Google Analytics, and how freaky-awesome it is that I can see some of the stuff I can see. For example, I know that in the past month, someone in New York Googled “Matt Hagaman” and spent a minute and 48 seconds here. Freaky. I love it. [...]
SNL Digital ShortsPosted by beth on May 15, 2009
We saw a promo on TV last night for a show that’s going to air this Sunday night at 9:00 on NBC – Saturday Night Live: Just Shorts. It’s going to be all your favorite Digital Shorts, which, in my humble opinion, are some of the best things SNL does. They include such favorites as [...]
Italian Lesson #4Posted by beth on May 11, 2009
I have successfully finished Disc 1 of my Drive Time: Italian course. It sounds impressive, I know. You’re all thinking, “Wow! She just got that program a week ago, and already she’s finished a whole disc!” Well be amazed if you want, but let me tell you right now – Disc 1 is a walk [...]
This is why I should write things down.Posted by beth on May 8, 2009
I keep a pen and paper on my bedside table, and as I was being lulled off to sleep last night by the gentle sounds of the thunderstorm I thought might rip our roof off (not because the storm was particularly strong, but because I have very little faith in the roof), I distinctly recall [...]
A Sad FarewellPosted by beth on May 7, 2009
I know it’s just a symptom of a larger problem, and that we should get down to the very heart of what’s wrong with our country if we’re ever going to effect any real change, but the fact that Allison Iraheta got voted off of American Idol last night in spite of Adam’s constant screeching, [...]
To answer a long-standing question and a more recent onePosted by beth on May 5, 2009
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked, “Seriously, why aren’t you on a stage somewhere?” Almost every semester, my students tell me I’m in the wrong profession, and I’m sure my roommates would be greatly relieved if I had an outlet for all my dramatic singing and dancing (especially during Dancing With [...]
Couch Surfing USAPosted by beth on April 30, 2009
So lookey here, internets. I’m just doing some preliminary logistical research here. Nothing interesting is happening at all, so don’t get excited. But say I wanted to do a cross-country road trip of some sort – you know, just for kicks and giggles and book tour and seducing Donald Miller and seeing everyone I love [...]
Playing for ChangePosted by beth on April 29, 2009
Whitney showed me this video a few weeks ago, and I loved it. It’s another one of those videos you can’t help but love if you have even a tiny Grinch heart. After watching the video again, I decided to do a little more investigation into the organization, Playing for Change, and it’s really pretty [...]
Help Me OutPosted by beth on April 23, 2009
I just watched Seven Pounds, the Will Smith/Rosario Dawson movie, and I’m confused. If you haven’t seen it, I’ll try to ask these questions so as not to spoil anything for you, but if anyone has seen it, please help me out. How did he choose the people he chose to do the things for [...]
