The weekly update

It's been a slow, lazy weekend, but exciting things are happening.

I got a paper accepted at a conference in Amherst, MA. I went to college there and haven't been back in 14 years. I am so excited to get to walk around on campus at my alma mater, Hampshire College. I go on March 29 for a long weekend.

I'm working on a book with a colleague.

The other International Communication professor is leaving, so we're hiring. Wendy, do you know anyone who might want to come be the Comm dept. with me?

Today I walked with Mufasa all the way down through town and along the lake. I called a friend, Nathan, and we walked together. It was nice.

And Beth arrives Wednesday! YAY!



I got this off Helen's blog:
Four Things, a list

Four jobs I've had:
I worked at The Gap in high school
I was a tv producer in San Diego
I've written a lot of freelance magazine articles
I worked for The Gronstedt Group for a couple of years

Four movies I can watch over and over:
I love the cinematography in Out of Africa. The colonial discourse makes it a guilty pleasure. I even went on a bit of a quest to her house in Denmark once.

Four places I've lived:
Sarasota, FL
Amherst, MA
Boulder, CO
Moscow, ID

Four TV shows I love:
Frontline
Grey's Anatomy
BBC Correspondent
I can't think of a fourth.


Four places I've vacationed:

Captiva Island, FL... as a kid
all over Italy
a Club Med in Mexico
driving cross-country, cost to coast... U.S.

Four of my favorite dishes:
gnocchi w/gorgonzola
chocolate/chocolate chip brioche from a bakery in Lyon
pizza from the little man across the street
my Mom's cube steak


Four places I would rather be right now:
