The Freshman Experiment

Where will you be in five years? PosterChild asks an interesting question and I’d love to have everybody’s thoughts on it. (more…)

Posterchild! How did the dress work out?

Blogging for a full day is the best idea ever, if I do say so myself. Sounds like your public just can’t get enough of you. I’m going to give you some warning to make this day as exciting and fun-filled as possible (or as dull as possible, this is of course your prerogative). I think this is such a fun idea that we should do it to mark our six-month anniversary! I’ll also need this time to get Mr. Lowdermilk on board.

So the date is February 28th, 2008. That is exactly six months after PosterChild’s first blog.

Comment and let me know how you feel about all this, also if you have any brilliant additions / suggestions.

Log for one full day. Posterchild’s post (plus some rumination exactly what a blog is - a log on the web) made me curious about a regular day in the life of of our blogs. So I challenge PC and CC to post every hour for a full day - or if you’re really ambitious, post every half hour or even 15 minutes. I know that both bloggers probably think their lives aren’t interesting enough for this (I know this because I’ve talked to them and they’ve consistently confided their fears that their lives aren’t interesting enough for this kind of thing), but I beg them to reserve judgment and just do the log.

I think there’s probably a lot of different ways to do this - one would be to keep a notepad and then input it into the computer at the end of the day, but the other way would be to continue to edit the post as the day proceeded. It requires a much more attached-at-the-hip approach.

But I’ll go further, if the bloggers agree to do it, I’ll do it too. And I’ll convince Brian to do it - though I think there might have to be some cajoling on the behalf of commenters to make that happen.  If nothing else, I bet it will prove that it’s more exciting to be a college student than a writer (we don’t do s#$@).

I want write a song called WISHY OR NOT inspired by the last two posts of CC. I want it to be, like, bubble gum pop, I think. Not because CC is bubble gum pop - quite on the contrary, though she can occasionally be giggly. Rather, bubble gum pop is the perfect genre for a song with the hook WISHY OR NOT.

CC: Write me a list of pros and cons? Can you manage that amid the pot, alcohol, and soaking your old tired feet? / Heels??? In January??? You crazy.
