I forgot to update the mp3 of the week tonight. I’ll make sure to do it tomorrow though - a special treat from Hari and friends.

A quick note


h1 Posted 4 years, 2 months ago late at night by oso

In the email I just sent out I made it sound like I am the only one who writes on this blog. That’s not quite true - a few of my friends do too. Like the one below about the Oscars, that was written by Bobby. You can see the author of the post [...]

Julia’s Slideshow


h1 Posted 4 years, 2 months ago around lunchtime by oso

An old friend from a Latin American Lit. class came into Miracles last night and told me about a slideshow she’s having this friday about her trip to Peru. More information below:
Dear friends . . .
After months of promises and delays, it’s finally happening . . .
VAMOS A PERU!!!
See a slideshow about my adventures living, [...]

Finding the balance


h1 Posted 4 years, 2 months ago in the early evening by oso

Woojay made a good point on his blog last week when he said:
A blogger’s dilemma
I shamelessly admit that ever since I started this new hobby of blogging, I have hardly read any books except those related to work. Given my economic situation, I’m a relatively lavish spender when it comes to books, and right now [...]

To all those in NYC


h1 Posted 4 years, 2 months ago in the late afternoon by oso

I’m a big fan of McSweeney’s, all that they put out, all that they do, and all who work for them. (that’s you Antonia) So I’m delighted to hear that they will be opening an 826 writing and tutoring center in Brooklyn next month.

Fat Tuesday


h1 Posted 4 years, 2 months ago in the late evening by oso

It was Fat Tuesday last night and Kevin, Anne, Raman, Revaz, Julia, and I all headed down to Gaslamp to check out the scene. We weren’t down with paying the fifteen dollars to get in though so we spent most of the first hour walking around trying to find a way to sneak in and [...]

Against Oil Prices?


h1 Posted 4 years, 2 months ago around lunchtime by oso

This morning I got five nearly identical emails in my inbox:
I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer.
Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united
action. Phillip Hollsworth, offered a good idea.
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the “don’t buy gas on [...]

The Organization Kid

Props again to Thivai for pointing out this article:
Thresher made a distinction between students who come to campus in a “poetic” frame of mind and those who come in a “prudential” frame of mind. “Certainly more kids are entering in a prudential frame of mind,” Hargadon said. “Most kids see their education as a means [...]

American Individualism


h1 Posted 4 years, 2 months ago in the late afternoon by oso

I wasn’t going to post this - I meant to comment it on Thivai’s blog but there is a limit on words. Anyway, yesterday he posted “Some Thoughts on the American Individual by Robert Goldman” and here are some of my thoughts on his thoughts:
Thivai,
I’m a big fan of your blog … you’re a really [...]

Dave Winer made a good point on Harvard Law School’s weblog when he argued that rather than choosing a politican by narrowing down your choices, we should first discuss, clarify, and lay out our own policies and then choose a candidate who most closely resembles our own individual politics. That would be ideal. And in [...]
