I had a lot of fun with the first project for my video class, and am really enjoying digging back into FinalCut Pro. Continue reading

Vanity Fair sics an executive editor, a factchecker, and a copyeditor on Palin's resignation speech.
The result is pure art.

A mid-year check-in on my "Things that need to go away in 2009" post, to see how much progress we've made as a culture. Continue reading
So, this Souter thing. Interesting.
Mostly, to me, because it opens up the possibility of getting a second (and maybe, eventually—wait for it!—an unprecedented third) woman on the bench. 8-to-1 is simply NOT RIGHT! Continue reading
Sometimes I have days when Ruth Bader Ginsburg is my favorite person in the entire world. Continue reading
Because he's totally not Vader; he's Old Man Potter grumpface, all that whippersnapper Bailey's Savings and Loan is nothing but a miserable little socialist scam! Continue reading
When I was in high school, the American Taliban took over my town's school board.
One of their first moves was to create a policy banning the school from "encouraging, or supporting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle alternative." Continue reading
Anyone who has a problem with Mrs. O's off-one-shoulder beaded white gown obviously doesn't remember that Nancy Regan wore an almost identical dress at her husband's first inauguration Continue reading
I'm so glad I used a fraction of my zillion hours of banked time-off to extend the holiday into the Inauguration; this was just a fantastic weekend.I've been invited to put some art in a ladies'-only Valentine's Day themed show at All Asia next month; more on that closer to the event. I'm thinking sculptural, but it also depends on how much time I'm willing to put into making something… Continue reading
In the spirit of my recent "Things that I bought that I love" tribute post, and with a nod to Arianna Huffington's "Bye-Bye 2008: Things I Want to Forget," here's a list of things which all sane and rational humans should resolve to avoid in this young year. Some are altruistic, some are practical, some tongue-in-cheek. But I'm deadly serious about them all. Continue reading
I'm frantically writing a blog entry encapsulating the amazing wonderfulness of the past two weeks, trying to finish my final project for my 3D animation class, and percolating a few dozen other plans. But I had to share http://dressregistry.com. Continue reading
No, Stephie, not Britney Spears.An article called Samantha Power Working On Obama's State Department Transition Team came across my desktop last week, and makes me absurdly happy.I assume if you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you've figured out that I'm a bit of a nerd. I mean, I have an unmockably impressive music collection and dress really well (in fact, I have fashion acolytes!)… Continue reading
I remember my dreams very infrequently. When I do, they tend to be vivid. Last night, I woke, bolt-upright, sometime around 3 in the morning and said outloud: "I just had a nightmare that Teresa Heinz Kerry won a contest to design Michelle Obama's inaugural gown, and it was orange and horrible!" Continue reading
This election is crazy. It's like a giant weight has been lifted; one friend said today he feels like he's been fighting cancer for eight years, and woke up this morning cured. I understand that nothing will be better or perfect overnight, but at least we're not veering off the tracks anymore. Continue reading
It is fundamentally unconscionable to me that any woman could ever even consider voting for a McCain/Palin ticket this November. If you are a woman, if you have daughters, you owe it to them and to yourself to vote for Obama this year.If you're considering voting Republican because you consider yourself a Republican, look more closely at Obama: he's a far better fit… Continue reading
At first I assumed this was bogus, but it turns out it's terrifyingly true: http://www.snopes.com/politics/ballot/electioneering.asp.Please, please, please be advised that you absolutely cannot go to the polls wearing any Obama (or McCain, I guess) shirts, pins, hats, or any other paraphernalia. It is against the law in most states (sometime by county) and can be grounds for the polling officials… Continue reading
I'd like to take a break here from my balanced and non-partisan look at why Obama is a better social and economic conservative than John McCain to address some of the fear-mongering coming from the Republican base, because I just can't bite my tongue a moment longer. Continue reading
