But, since I totally promised everyone a mix CD for New Year’s and managed to sleep on it (ed. note: I had the best of intentions, y’all!) I put together a collection of my favorite love songs for everybody for Valentine’s Day.
I’ve Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now) Otis Redding
The Man I [...]
Catcalling: I don’t know what it is about DC, but I have never heard the kinds of things I hear daily on the streets here anywhere else. I’ve even been followed home on several occasions. I am definitely not going to miss that.
It’s expensive: Everything’s expensive here compared to Austin. Groceries are expensive, rent’s CRAZY [...]
Well, It’s been real and it’s been fun. It’s been real fun most of them time too, but I’m moving back to Austin in a week and a half; almost a year to the day after I got here. There’s a thousand reasons why I’m not staying, but the biggest one is that DC isn’t [...]
I had an out of town guest for the holiday weekend and I’ve been neglecting this blog. Sorry. But, I had a fabulous weekend, in case you care.
I’m moving back to the great state of Texas soon. I like DC a lot, but it’s expensive to live here and they have winter. I’m not a [...]
Michael Jackson is dead. I can’t say I’m shocked, but I definitely thought the guy had a couple more years to give. The DQ today is going to be a little different. Today I’m just going to talk a little bit about what happens on the web when something “important” happens.

There are certain things you do not do while conducting an interview. One of the [...]
I’m so tired of the journalism industry’s death grip on so-called impartiality. No one is impartial. It IS possible to write a story without any real slant. I know this because at my previous job in Hays County, Texas people used to accuse me of both Republican and Democratic biases based on my coverage of [...]
After all of the hoopla that surrounded the leaks about Britney Spears’ and Steve Jobs’ obituaries, both of whom are still alive at the moment, I realized how creepy it must sound that newspapers keep obituary files on notable people.
But, it’s a practical thing. If someone of interest dies, that moment is not the time [...]
I’m taking a class called at Georgetown that has an investigative component and a legal component. Basically, we’re learning how to be investigative reporters that dig below the surface without going to jail or getting sued. I’m loving the class, but I am struggling to get through the legal reading.
My bachelor’s degree is in English [...]
