Life on Venus

This is part of my last assignment for my last spring of seminary/grad school. It’s an image showing my current theological space. I’ve been inhabiting a different planet for some time now. I could call it Planet Lent/Holy Week/Resurrection. I could call it Planet People In My Room Late At Night. [...]

Tiny Movie Review: The Runaways

Smartly made and well-played; With echoes of 24-Hour Party People and The Velvet Goldmine, this ambivalently girl-power film should have Twilight fans vomiting in terror for weeks.

4 out of 5 stars

The “Roller-mance of the Library” Scarf for:

Name: Erin M. Blakemore
Location: Boulder, CO

Occupation: Writer and Director/Marketing/Social Media Consultant at the company I co-founded and co-own, VOCO Creative

A significant difference between California and Colorado: In California, I cry and curl up under massive blankets when the temperature hits 55. In Colorado, I laugh and go bare-legged. Also, rockabilly is [...]

December is A List-Lover’s Favorite Time of Year

While I’m currently chained to my desk working on my last paper of 2009, due Monday dec 21st, i figured I’d encourage myself my posting my annual list of paper titles a little early, as proof to myself that I have indeed, on numerous occasions, actually completed the paper-writing process.

Seems like I wrote fewer papers [...]

Like Muriel Rukeyser’s poem…

…which asks,
“What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open,”
this video exemplifies my belief which posits,
“What would happen if one guy danced with all his might? The world would come running.”

"We will never know how the mind turns the water of our cells into the wine of consciousness"

Proust Was a Neuroscientist by Jonah LehrerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was drawn to Jonah Lehrer’s book when I saw a light blue paperback with a madeleine cookie on the cover along with the word “neuroscientist”. Tasty looking indeed. When I opened it up, I saw that an entire chapter was [...]

We’re So Three Thousand And Eight…

After Rollerskating this Wednesday night, (8:30-10:30 Lynwood Bowl & Skate) Jamie and Jenn and I headed into Shari’s Family Restaurant, where our favorite server, named Champagne, made us milkshakes. She is the self-proclaimed Malt Master at Shari’s and we agree with her proclamation.
Rollerskating revs up a lot of endorphins, making us a bit loopy afterwards [...]

"My Fair Lady & Identity Crises" or "Why I Loved Terminator Salvation"

I’m not an action movie person for the same reason that I’m not really a Lerner & Loewe fan. Like the songs in “My Fair Lady” and “Camelot” (don’t get me started on “Paint Your Wagon”), action sequences in movies tend to be where my brain checks out due to the fact that the [...]
