This is just the kind of thing that makes people afraid of police, which is *not* how it should be. I'm sorry you had that experience.

Agendas are basically planners. They're made for individual schools, so they have special dates (days off, etc) in them. We started getting them late in school and a lot of kids found them really useful. They also usually have hall passes printed...

If this ban works (and it won't), have fun walking through the clouds of smoke to get onto UNM campus from the sidewalks. I guess that's not a problem if you drive to campus, though.

There may be some places in the UNM area. When I was living there a few years ago, it seemed like quite a few complexes had utilities that were included. It may not be the best area but I'm thinking since they cater to students the prices might be...

I've seen a bunch of these around campus lately. Political statement? Cory Doctorow overdose? Something about red light cameras?

In which Nora visits the Heights and gets jumped

This is one of those stories that you have to prefix with “Everyone is okay. Well, Joaquin has a black eye. But he's been putting frozen blueberries on it, and I think he's alright.”

It's late on Thursday, though it's technically early on Friday. I've got Friday off, and it's one of the last days that Kelsey's in town, so we've got a little crowd together-- five of us, buddies from high school. Kelsey, Devin, Joaquin, Zach, and me.

We've… Continue

what Obama means to a girl who grew up with Bush

I'm 20.

I was born in 1988. I remember when Clinton was elected in 1992 because my mother told me that it was the first time in her life she's voted for a presidential candidate who won.

I didn't have any political awareness until late elementary school, when we had a model United Nations, and even then the only issues I knew anything about were international-- we talked about nuclear issues worldwide, Tibet, and the Iraq and Saddam Hussein.

I didn't get any awareness of national politics unt… Continue

Found Balloon, Lost Balloon


I found a balloon on my ride home today!

It was really windy, and I was scooting home from work on Tijeras, right before it becomes MLK, and this balloon got swept up by a gust of wind and flew directly in front of my scooter. It was too good to resist-- I reached out and caught it!

I… Continue

Getting harassed by cops on the scooter

It's eleven-thirty and we're out on the scooter*, me and my friend Kit, going about 25 on Rio Grande, going under the freeway, headed home and to bed. It's one of those gorgeous… Continue

Google Street View in University Area RIGHT NOW

I just saw the Google Street View car in my neighborhood driving between Silver and Central on Stanford. If you want to get yourself doing something on Google Street View, get into that neighborhood now.

Hey Nora, don't mean to sound stalker-ish or anything but I saw your reply about the apartment downtown... the house I'm living in (~4 blocks from UNM) just had 2 rooms open up. We're gamer types, and believe it or not we contemplate the zombie apocalypse quite frequently. Rent would be stupid cheap especially if we found another person to fill the other room. If you're interested drop me a line here or at kroybal@unm.edu.

Thanks. When I can figure out how to articulate it, I will. In the meantime, a different kind of "Nancy" game is visible on the front & back covers of Artnews Annual 34, from 1968. Maybe at the FAL?

Hey, Nora. I'm a former CNM classmate, fellow UNM student. And I've always dug your blogs. So, I'm adding ya. Reciprocate if you like, eh?
