Judging from your response, you’re (still) the racist…

I assume everyone else around here gets as annoyed as I do when issues of culture and race, particularly of the hispanic brown persuasion, get intense and edgy on the national stage. I know I twitch, just a little bit, when my left-wing media friends play the clips of Rush most recently accusing Judge Sonia Sotomayor as a reverse racist. It's infuriating to listen to the national debate rage on about issues that regions like the Southwest have come to terms to over the course of centuries. I gue… Continue

Los mejores dias del año...

This weekend kicks off my summer event adventures. The Alibi's weekly newsletter, delivered directly to my inbox, has been teeming with great ideas on things to check out. This weekend I don't want to miss one of the showings of 200 Motels at The Guild or Jan MacKell's talk at Bookworks about the wild women of the wild west. It's one of my favorite topics.
For more details, check it out.

Other possible adventures include:
- day trip to Madrid, complete with photos… Continue

The rise and fall of...

The saturation of the social media experience on the Internet has caused me to unplug for a while. I was feeling too connected, too observed, too scrutinized for the benefit of the companies that would like me to spend my money on their stuff.
However, I love Duke City Fix, and am glad that Leif found me and added me as a friend. it prompted me to log in and reconsider this as one of my most basic sources of information and events relevant to me. i will try to be more conscientious to keep mysel… Continue

June 3rd: Primary day

While the Democratic presidential candidate in New Mexico was decided via caucus a few months ago, both Republicans and Democrats have responsibilities at the polls today. The most important races today are those for Congressional candidates.

I am backing Robert Pidcock. He's an honest lawyer, and this is his first foray into politics. Unlike the majority of his opponents, both Dem and Rep, he carries no baggage, no ill-made decisions in prior political posts, and he brings with him practical,… Continue

2 Years Ago

Today was the official re-opening of the Zimmerman Library public basement space since the fire that ravaged the reference section 2 years ago today. I was graduating with my B.A. in Linguistics that semester, and it was only by circumstance that my own research wasn't affected. Finding out about the fire shocked me, and made me uneasy in realizing that to some people, there is no sacredness in the idea and physical representation of institutions of higher learning.
Since that time we've noticed… Continue

Margerine, it is with great shame that the writer of this epistle regrets to inform you of his pressing need to bother you with his inquiry, but I was just wondering if you happened to know how one would go about changing their displayed moniker. I wish not be Rick James... anymore. I should like to think there is a way to accomplish such a goal, for if my suspicions are correct--and they always are--I changed my moniker once already, but in the course of my habitual somnambulation I fear that I have forgotten.

Waddup Bruth Lee,

Ah... the summer. OWWW the dissertation. Teaching in the fall, assembling committee and writing proposal in the summer. Now you're on a break too, right?
