'Castle' & Social Media

I just made a new (non required for class) post on my blog. It’s all about how I think the ABC Television show Castle is doing social media right. CHECK IT OUT. It shouldn’t be surprising that it’s about Castle, it is ME we are talking about. Then again even if I wasn’t a big fan I would still think that it’s a great example on how to use social media. I would...

Story of my life.

This morning as I was walking to the bus stop (all to early, 8am classes should not be allowed). I walk down a grassy hill that is part of my apartment complex, all is good. I hit even pavement I take maybe 3 steps (all the while thinking “Yay! I didn’t trip down the hill!”) and then BAM, face plant. Taken out by a pot hole. Skinned up my left knee really bad (and now have blood...

Firefly > Grad School

So I should be doing one of my many assignments that I have due at some point this week. Instead I am working on organizing a weekly Firefly watching group. As there are way to many of my fellow grad students who HAVE NOT SEEN IT!!! And a few that want to watch it again. I have my priorities straight.

New camera backpack

So I need a new camera bag. I also need a new backpack for grad school. I want to combine this into one purchase. I think I have narrowed it down to 4 different bags. Has anyone used any of these and have some thoughts? If I have to take out the velcro compartments to use it as a book bag I am okay with that. Extra points if I don’t. All of these are large enough on the photo gear...

You know you're a grad student when...

Tonight we had to sit through an hour long powerpoint presentation on academic integrity. We are a bunch of grad students at the Newhouse School of PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS at Syracuse University. A live tweet was started on twitter with the hash tag #cheaterpumpkineater. Had to do something to help pass the time. I love my fellow students.

Patrick Dempsey or Nathan Fillion?

For one of my grad school classes we have to pick a non profit to use for a mock media kit. It’s a project we will be working on all summer session. I need to make the final decision on what my non profit (along with corporate sponsor and event) is going to be today so I can type it all up for class tomorrow. I just can’t decide between Patrick Dempsey and the Dempsey Center or Nathan...

Moving the fandomness!

Okay so I know I don’t have many followers…but for those of you that do, I moved all my fandomness over to THIS TUMBLR because this username is the one linked with my “professional” accounts. Figured I should move the randomness and fangirling over to a different blog. SO GO FOLLOW ME THERE. This one is going to be cleaned up and be used for grad school and other...
