Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

DiAnne Price and Her Boyfriends

By Abby at 9:45 pm on Monday, March 28, 2005

If you know me in Memphis, you know I never go out. Being on internship means lots of work + job hunt + dissertation + no money at all. Plus, I’m only here for the year. I’m a terrible friend because I’m never available to have any fun… not often anyway. So I don’t make much effort in making friends because I know I can’t follow through. If you know me from somewhere else, you’ll know how strange this all sounds, but sadly, it’s true. But then there are weekends like the one that just passed, when I honestly, didn’t have much to do workwise, Aaron was out of town, and I just didn’t have a lot of plans.

That said, I managed to have a lovely Sunday, despite the rain. I had noticed on Friday that Dianne Price and Her Boyfriends were playing at Huey’s. One of my mother’s college friends in town had raved about her/them, so I called her up, and we went. It was a perfect rainy day thing to do. Dianne Price is one of those people who plays piano like it’s an extension of herself. It’s effortless. Her voice is husky and soulful and wonderful, and she has amazing energy. “Her boyfriends” weren’t too shabby either. What a treat. Please take a lo-fi or hi-fi listen.

For the Whiners

By Abby at 11:39 pm on Sunday, March 27, 2005

The extra pictures of the drive down Madison were for the whiners over at Dark Bilious Vapors. You guys want the other 50 or so not very good pictures I took while mindlessly clicking the button on my camera?!

The picture of Andertons on Flickr actually wasn’t mine. I ended up with a corner of the roof. Why? The shutter was just kind of going at its own pace and honestly, I wasn’t really paying all that much attention! It’s about quantity, not quality!

The Cereal Wars

By Abby at 11:31 am on Saturday, March 26, 2005

Glad to see that the kids at Harvard have their priorities straight!

An excerpt from the story:

”I was shocked to see they had done this to our cereals,” said Harvard senior Cameron Moccari, who last week launched the group ”Harvard Students for the Reimplementation of Brand-Named Cereals” on Thefacebook.com, a popular website that allows students to meet new friends or form study groups. ”They replaced all of the familiar cereals with ones that have weird names and don’t taste good.”

For Harvard sophomore Allison Kessler, it’s annoying to pay more than $4,000 for a meal plan that scrimps on her favorite breakfast foods. Particularly since, Kessler, like many college students, eats cereal several times a day.

”I used to eat Lucky Charms for lunch and dinner,” she said. ”The fake stuff gets real soggy, and I’ve just stopped eating cereal. This is not fair.”

Read the whole article so you don’t miss the bit about the “Harvard Coalition For the Return of Lobster Night.” Sheesh! Poor kids.
