sometimes i cant read blogs because i get so worked up by the commentary that i just cannot focus on anything else. the non-immediate nature keeps me from expressing my own opinion in real time to the other contributors. i think this is the thing i dislike most about the situation. i am usually driven to merely reposting the blog entry accompanied by a quick line about what i think. its not enough. i want real, engaging conversation that happens NOW.

Are you worried that your three-year-old is too active? Little Tikes has the solution for you. For only $2,599 – that’s right, $2,599 – you can unleash your child’s inner Dilbert with the Little Tikes Young Explorer workstation, complete with an IBM computer. The Young Explorer’s cubicle design keeps tots’ eyes glued firmly on the 19-inch flat screen monitor by eliminating pesky distractions, like the outside world. Little Tikes markets its cubicle to daycare centers as “a hallmark way to set you apart from other childcare facilities.” You know – those passé facilities where kids are running around and having fun!

It’s tough to keep your feelings in perspective now for you may be blindly optimistic one moment and quite fearful the next. The intense Scorpio Full Moon in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals evokes your certainty, whether the pendulum is swinging toward the positive or negative side of the cycle. Instead of panicking and thinking that you must choose one or the other, keep reminding yourself to wait until the seesaw stops before making your final decision.

"an elegant tapestry of quotations, musings, aphorisms, and autobiographical reflections"
and lots of bad music.
I'm interested in the interactions of mediated culture and psychological constructions of the self, obsessed with mental disorders and psychology while being painfully aware of my own inadequacies. I am a prototypical non-conformist with a vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs. I'm guiltily self-absorbed and I quietly compete with others for brief moments of self-aggrandizing brilliance. I'm a slave to the capitalist dogma I spend every moment of my waking life bitching about. Also, I'm an up-talker?
Currently, I'm a graduate student in the Department of Telecommunications at Indiana University. My research interests encompass many areas of media studies and psychology:
- the role of the internet on everyday life
- the way increasingly mediated lifestyles change social relations
- psychosocial uses and effects of media on identity construction among adolescents and young adults
I graduated with honors from the University at Buffalo in 2006, receiving a BS in Psychology and a BA in Film Studies. I used to work as Project Director for a youth media program and as Senior Research Analyst for a couples study.
In my spare time, I can be found making all sorts of crafts and listening to music.
