Spottiest Blogger Ever

March 22nd, 2009 | No Comments

I have no idea why I’m not better at blogging here.  During the height of my blogging for the Times Union, I blogged every day, but closer to every 20 hours.  I was on top of it.  And now I am blogging once a week at most!  Embarrassing.

Anyway, in the past two weeks, I’ve spoken at Russell Sage College, did a book signing/reading at the Albany Barnes and Noble, did a book signing at the Wall Street Borders in New York City, guest blogged at Jewcy.com, guest blogged at the Washington Post, guest lectured at Rice University (I am officially in love with Houston, Texas and I think it is one of my favorite places I’ve been to), gave interviews to a few different excellent blogs, taught at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association conference at Columbia University, saw the movie I Love You Man, saw the movie Brick Lane, finished the final paper for my anthropology class, and celebrated that I’m 59 days away from graduating from college.

Woot.

Anyway, I’ll try to be better at blogging for the next few weeks, because I have a lot of quirky stuff I’ve been thinking about.
