Pop Culture Conference

I want to give you all so many details about the conference, but I am feeling like a shit, and overloaded with annotated bibliography stuff, so my memories are blurry.

I know I did present a paper and I was told it went well. I was just happy to get it over with and not make a total ass out of myself.

I had a great time with Murph and Co. I drank way too much, but I wanted to, so it was worth it.

I saw some really great panels. A good one about Mad Men, a great one about teaching with Web 2.o, a great one about Twitter, an interesting one where I might find some interesting research possibilities to apply to new media.

I got to go to a Borders and a Trader Joe.

I went to Old Towne and the botanical gardens in order to feel touristy. 

But I ended up sick. Actually it started the morning I left, but I must have willed myself through it because as soon as I got home I felt like I wanted to die. 

Today, I feel a little less like dying. So it's all good I guess.

I am going to finish the Twilight series tonight. I don't know...I liked the first book, but these last two have been trying my patience. I am not happy that these books are teaching girls to be weak and stupid and that men will fall all over for them.

Until next time...

It sounds like you had an amazing time at the conference.

Sorry you got sick, but I am glad it held off until the end. Don't die.

As for Twilight, the way that B treats J pisses me off. Like WTF. Regardless, there are some shockers in book four, so enjoy.

I need to call soon; we need to talk about Lost!

Finished with the fourth book and wasn't that impressed. Of course she gets pregnant the first time she has sex. Of course it's some freak baby. Whatever. I am so over Twilight.
