Internet Exploring #1

Huzzah! Here we are, the official inaugural issue of Internet Exploring. Fun! AND, it’s on time. That doesn’t happen often. Just ask any one of my college professors, or high school teachers, or grade school teachers, or sunday scho–ahh you get it. Since I talked more than I needed to in my first post explaining this whole deal, I’ll get right to the goods. This week, Julie Van… Can Read Monstrous Births This essay. Man.

The Gift of Thrift

Thrifting takes practice. Since I practice thrifting far more than I’ve ever practiced any sport, activity, or musical instrument, I’ve gotten pretty good at it (my guitar, meanwhile, sits stringless in my parents’ basement).

Happy Monday you kings and vagabonds! I’m posting a friendly reminder about my on-going contest to win a custom portrait for your blog, (or anywhere else, really). As a further further kick in the pants to get your entry in, here are a few quick sample portraits from Laura: My husband makes his first appearance on the blog!

I Don’t Wanna Wait

…Yep. I drew the title of this entry from here. I apologize if I got your hopes up for a Dawson’s Creek tribute entry. There is much to say about those angsty teens with unrealistically-advanced vocabularies and libidos, but Capeside will (ironically) have to wait. I pulled out that title because this entry is a result of me throwing plans out the window and doing what I want instead. You having that song in your head all day is just an added bonus. You’re welcome. The first
