"We have to remember: There is nothing wrong with women writing about themselves, their youth, their indiscretions, their habits and values and personal development. Men have been writing about this stuff for thousands of years; they call it the canon." -Rebecca Traister (Oh snap!)

This whole Emily Gould blog controversy has been very entertaining this past week.... and the breadth of the reactions she is receiving is mind-boggling. This girl has prompted many a writer and armchair social critic to sum up our entire generation based on her story. And THEN they start bringing in 'Sex and the City' comparisons and tying it all up with a pretty bow.

Word of the day: zeitgeist.

Hey, I'd rather say that blogs and blogging culture and the blogosphere and whatever other crazy buzzwords there are capture a zeitgeist for my generation than say that "Gossip Girl" does. Because I read that somewhere. And a portion of my soul crumbled in to a pile of sand like Wile E. Coyote after an explosive run-in with the roadrunner. The roadrunner here being the mind-numbing, irrelevant garbagey entertainment that people are just lapping up these days.

Just a second, let me just hop down off of my high horse.

Hey, Friday!

And it's nearly June. Remember when June was the best month of the year? When it meant summer vacation was starting. I'm thinking back to elementary school days when your main responsibility was to get sun-burned and come home smelling like a dirty little kid. You know that smell? It's pretty gross, but totally respectable.

Looks like a thunderstorm outside. And there was that unmistakable dirty rain smell this morning. Someone once told me that smell was the smell of worms.... that can't be true. Right?
